本题考查短语动词的词义辨析。解题思路是需要理解每个选项中短语动词的含义,然后结合句子的语境来判断哪个选项最合适。
各选项短语含义分析
- A选项“point to”:意为“指向;表明”。例如:The arrow points to the north.(箭头指向北方。)
- B选项“keep to”:表示“坚持;遵守;局限于”。例如:You should keep to the rules.(你应该遵守规则。)
- C选项“refer to”:有“提到;涉及;参考”等意思。例如:He referred to his notes during the speech.(他在演讲时参考了他的笔记。)
- D选项“add to”:意思是“增加;增添”。例如:This beautiful picture adds to the beauty of the room.(这幅美丽的画增添了房间的美感。)
结合句子语境分析
句子“A growing number of attacks by tigers on man have ______ the hostility.”表达的是老虎对人类的攻击数量不断增加,这会带来某种结果。结合语境,应该是增加了敌意。所以“added to”符合句子的逻辑和语义。
