题目解答
答案
D. in advance of
解析
本题考查短语辨析,解题思路是理解每个选项短语的含义,然后结合句子语境来判断哪个选项最合适。
- A选项“in front of”:表示“在……前面”,通常用于描述具体的位置关系,比如 “There is a tree in front of the house.”(房子前面有一棵树),而本题并非描述具体位置,所以A选项不符合题意。
- B选项“advanced in”:“advanced” 作为形容词有 “先进的” 意思,但 “advanced in” 这种表达一般不用于描述 “在……方面领先于某个时代” 这样的抽象概念,所以B选项不合适。
- C选项“in the front of”:意思是 “在……内部的前面”,例如 “The teacher is standing in the front of the classroom.”(老师正站在教室的前面),同样是用于具体位置,不符合本题语境,所以C选项不正确。
- D选项“in advance of”:意为 “在……之前;领先于”,可以用于描述抽象的时间、程度等方面的领先关系。在本题中,“Robert Owen's ideas were far in advance of the age in which he lived.” 表示 “罗伯特·欧文的思想远远领先于他所处的时代”,符合句子的逻辑和语境,所以D选项正确。
