中单选题【2016年真题】They did their best to avoid getting embroiled in the quarrel, preferring to maintain their
neutrality as long as possible.
neutrality as long as possible.
A.involved
B.inclined
C.indulged
D.included
参考答案:A
答案解析:(1)句子结构。
本句为主谓结构(SV),其中主语为They,谓语是did their best,动词不定式to avoid getting embroiled in the quarrel 是目的状语,preferring to maintain their neutrality as long as possible分词短语为原因状语。
(2)选项词义。
A.involved adj.有关的;卷入的;复杂的
B. inclined adj.趋向于 的
C.indulged adj.纵容的
D.included adj.包括的;[植]内藏的
句子大意为“他们竭力避免卷入这场争执,更愿意尽可能长期保持中立”。原题中的embroiled意为“卷入的,纠缠不清的”,与选项中的involved词义最为接近,因此选项A正确。
