The linguist discovered striking similarities between a nearly______language spoken in central Siberia and various languages spoken by native Americans.
选项
A、extinct
B、ethnic
C、exotic
D、erratic
答案
A
解析
(1)句子结构。
主句的结构为主动宾(SVO),主语为The linguist,谓语为discovered,宾语为striking similarities,between a nearly______…为介词词组作定语。
(2)选项词义。
A.extinct adj.(动植物,语言)灭绝的;(习俗,工作等)消失的
B.ethnic adj.民族的;种族的;具有民族特色的;异国风味的
C.exotic adj.来自异国的;奇异的;异国情调的;异国风味的
D.erratic adj.飘忽不定的;行为古怪,反复无常
本句大意为“这个语言学家发现,在西伯利亚中部使用的一种几乎绝迹的语言和美洲原住民使用的多种语言之间有着惊人的相似之处”。从词义来看,exotic和ethnic均不能与various languages形成对比,因为various languages极有可能既是exotic,也是ethnic,因此可以排除;而选项D的词义不适合修饰语言,因此也可以排除。只有extinct在词义上最符合题意,因此A为最佳选项。
【知识拓展】词汇拓展:ethnic与exotic。
①ethnic adj.connected with or belonging to a nation,race or people that shares a cultural tradition
e.g.ethnic groups少数民族;ethnic strife种族冲突。
②exotic adj.from or in another country, especially a tropical one;seeming exciting and unusual because it is connected with foreign countries
e.g.exotic species外来物种;exotic plant异国植物;exotic fruit异域水果;exotic birds珍奇鸟类;exotic words外来语。
