选项
A、admit
B、allege
C、approve
D、adopt
答案
A
解析
词义结构搭配。admit to(=make an acknowledgement confess)承认,供认,例如:I must admit to feeling ashamed of my conduct.(我必须承认我对自己的行为感到羞耻)。可见,空格内填入admit既符合词义要求,也符合结构要求。allege vt.(=declare)宣称,供述(以支持或反对某一指控)。例如:In your statement you allege that the accused man was seen at the scene of the crime.(在你的口供中,你供述曾经看到被告在犯罪现场)。可见,allege后不能接介词to,故不能入选。approve作及物动词用时意为"批准,通过",当其后接介词of时意为"赞同"(有时在实际使用中无严格区别)。例如:1) His proposal has been approved.(他的建议已通过)。2) I cannot support a policy of which I have never approved.(我不能支持一项我从未赞成的政策)。可见,approve后不能接介词to,故不能入选。adopt vt.采取;通过;收养。例如:1) We also adopted the high-speed building method.(我们还采用了高速建筑法)。2) The conference unanimously adopted his report.(大会一致通过了他的报告)。3) She offered to adopt the homeless child.(她主动提出要收养这个无家可归的孩子)。
