题目解答
答案
解析
本题考查根据语境选择恰当词汇的能力，需结合上下文理解词义及搭配。解题核心在于：
- 明确空格处逻辑关系，如描述人物特点、情感状态或客观事实；
- 辨析词义，注意形容词、动词的适用场景；
- 排除干扰项，如“adaptive”强调适应能力，“overwhelmed”表示被压垮的情感。
第1空
语境：描述“对技术不满的人通常不擅长适应新技术”。
关键点：需用形容词作表语，表达“不擅长适应”的含义。
选项分析：
- adaptive（适应性的）符合“不擅长适应”的反面表达（即“不适应”）。
- 其他选项如“capable”（有能力的）不在词库中，排除。
第2空
语境：老年人因技术技能不足而感到“被压垮”。
关键点：需用动词的过去分词形式作表语，表达被动情感。
选项分析：
- overwhelmed（被压垮的）准确描述技术差距带来的心理压力。
- “impaired”（受损的）指能力下降，但此处强调情感而非能力，排除。
第3空
语境：老年人在使用技术时“向年轻人让步”。
关键点：需用动词原形，表达主动让步。
选项分析：
- defer（让步）符合语境中“不得不向他人妥协”的动作。
- “delay”（延迟）指时间拖延，与“让步”无关，排除。
第4空
语境：部分技术担忧是“合理的”。
关键点：需用形容词修饰“concerns”，表达客观判断。
选项分析：
- reasonable（合理的）直接对应“部分担忧有依据”的逻辑。
- “grave”（严重的）强调程度，但未明确合理性，排除。
第5空
语境：技术导致“隐私”丧失。
关键点：需用名词作宾语，表达抽象概念。
选项分析：
- privacy（隐私）与“摄像头拍摄”形成直接关联。
- “morality”（道德）与语境无关，排除。
