The manager does not merely tolerate( ), he relishes and embraces it.
The manager does not merely tolerate( ), he relishes and embraces it.
A、praise
B、adulation
C、rumor
D、admiration
【正确答案】:B
【题目解析】:本题考查名词辨析。praise:称赞,赞扬;adulation:奉承,吹捧;rumor:谣言,传闻;admiration:赞赏,钦佩。由空缺处前的动词tolerate“容许、忍受”可知,所选名词应具有消极色彩,可排除AD两项。后句中两个动词为relish“享受”和embrace“欣然接受”,与“奉承、吹捧”搭配更合适,故选B。 句意:那位经理不仅可以承受讨好奉承之言,并且还对此津津乐道且热烈欢迎。
