______ both in working life and everyday living to different sets of values, and expectations places a severe strain on the individual.
A. Recreation
B. Transaction
C. Disclosure
D. Exposure
参考答案:D
解析: 句子结构是这样:空白处的词作主语,谓语部分是places a severe strain..., both in working life and everyday living是状语,空白处的词应与to different sets of values形成习惯搭配。再看句子意思,“无论是在工作还是日常生活中,对于不同的价值观念和期待的——都会使个体很紧张。”根据以上分析,应当选exposure“暴露,置身于”。如:Exposure of the body to strong sunlight can be harmful. 身体暴露在强烈的阳光下是有害处的。disclosure意为“揭发,泄漏”;transaction意为“处理,执行”;recreation意为“消遣,娱乐”,这三个词从结构上就无法与to形成习惯搭配。
