Even though thousands of people die violently each year in Sri Lanka, the death of an important figure causes national ().
A、anguish
B、melancholy
C、delight
D、upset
【正确答案】:A
【题目解析】:本题考查名词辨析。anguish:痛苦,伤心;melancholy:忧郁,悲哀,愁思,闷闷不乐;delight:快乐,高兴;upset:沮丧。anguish指(精神,心灵)极度痛苦,悲痛;melancholy形容内在的气质和经常的愁眉苦脸,这种气质和愁眉苦脸不是由外部原因引起的,这是一种习惯的忧郁,低沉。根据句意,国民应该是因为这个重要人物的死亡感到伤心,而不是人们本身的内在气质是愁眉苦脸,故A选项最符合句意。句意:尽管斯里兰卡每年都有成千上万的人死亡,但这个重要人物的死亡却引起了国民的痛苦和伤心。
