中单选题【2017年真题】Whether the giant panda belongs to the bear or raccoon families was a matter of zoological contention for years.
A.concession
B.confusion
C.controversy
D.conviction
参考答案:C
答案解析:(1)句子结构。
本句结构:Whether the giant panda belongs to the bear or raccoon families (主语)was (系
动词)a matter of zoological contention for years (主语补语,即系表结构作谓语)。
(2)选项词义。
A.concession n.让步,迁就;(尤指由政府或雇主给予的)特许权
B.confusion n.混舌L;混淆;困惑
C.controversy n.公开辩论;论战
D.conviction n.定罪;说服;确信;信念
句子大意为“大熊猫属于熊科还是浣熊科,这是动物学历年来争论的焦点”。原题中的
contention意为“争论”,与选项中的controversy词义最为接近,因此选项C正确。
