选项 A、Trivial
B、Mild
C、Tiny
D、Faint

答案 B

解析 形容词辨析题。句意为:轻微的嫉妒是一种正常、健康的情绪,它是使我们的生活不断继续的一部分。根据句子后半部分出现的a normal,healthy emotion(一种正常、健康的情绪)可知,此处填入修饰jealousy的形容词应该表示“程度轻的”。[B]Mild“温和的,轻微的”可修饰jealousy,表示程度轻微的嫉妒,为正确答案。其余三个形容词也含有“弱的,细小”的意思,但是侧重点不同。trivial“不重要的,琐碎的”,例如:It’s useless to fire away with such trivial details.(喋喋不休地谈这些琐碎细节是无用的。)tiny“微小的,很少的”,强调与同类或其他物体比较,小得超出正常比例,有时带强烈的感情色彩。例如:The tiny tropical island of Ascension is not easy to find.(这个微小的阿森松热带岛屿很不容易找到。)faint“虚弱的,微弱的”,指对某事物印象不深,或指声音微弱或希望渺茫等。例如:He coulddiscern a faint light ahead in the forest.(他能看到前面森林里有一线微弱的灯光。)[A]、[C]、[D]均不符合语境,所以排除。
