题目解答
答案
C. efficient
解析
本题考查形容词词义辨析,解题思路是理解每个选项单词的含义,再结合句子语境来判断哪个选项最符合。
- A选项“effective”:意为“有效的”,强调产生预期的效果或结果。例如:This method is very effective in solving the problem.(这种方法在解决问题方面非常有效。)
- B选项“conventional”:意为“传统的;常规的”,通常指遵循传统的方式、方法或观念。例如:He has a conventional way of thinking.(他有传统的思维方式。)
- C选项“efficient”:意为“高效的”,侧重于在使用时间、精力、资源等方面能够快速、有效地完成任务。在本题中,家庭教育的支持者认为它比大众公共教育花费更少且效率更高,“efficient”符合这种语境。例如:The new machine is more efficient than the old one.(新机器比旧机器效率更高。)
- D选项“traditional”:意为“传统的”,和“conventional”意思相近,强调与传统相关。例如:Traditional Chinese culture has a long history.(中国传统文化历史悠久。)
综合以上分析,“efficient”最能体现家庭教育在花费少的情况下还能有更好的效果,即效率高,所以选C。
