答案解析
正确答案:B
解析:
这是一道典型的完形填空(Cloze Test)题目。虽然你只提供了第2空的选项和答案,但为了给出最准确的解析,我们需要结合上下文语境来分析为什么选 **B. begin**。
### 题目分析
**原句:**
"Gap years usually **____2____** when a student leaves schools in June and last ____3____ they start higher education in October of the following year."
**翻译:**
“间隔年通常在学生六月离校时 **____2____**,并一直持续到次年十月他们开始高等教育为止。”
### 选项辨析
* **A. finish (结束)**
* 如果填入 finish,句子意思变成“间隔年通常在六月学生离校时**结束**”。这与后半句“持续到来年十月开始大学”在逻辑上是矛盾的。如果六月就结束了,就不可能持续到来年十月。此外,常识告诉我们,学生离校是间隔年的**起点**,而非终点。
* **B. begin (开始)**
* 如果填入 begin,句子意思变成“间隔年通常在学生六月离校时**开始**”。这符合逻辑:先开始(六月),然后持续一段时间(last...),直到下一个阶段(次年十月上大学)。这与时间线完全吻合。
* **C. continue (继续)**
* Continue 暗示动作之前已经发生。虽然语法上可以说得通,但在描述一个特定事件(间隔年)的时间框架时,我们通常界定它的“起点”和“终点”。这里强调的是从离校这一刻起,间隔年这一状态正式启动,因此用 begin 比 continue 更准确地描述了时间的起始点。
### 解题线索
1. **时间状语线索**:"when a student leaves schools in June"(当学生在六月离开学校时)。这是高中毕业的典型时间点,也是间隔年的**起始点**。
2. **动词搭配线索**:后半句用了 "**last**... until..."(持续……直到……)。"Last" 描述的是持续的过程,那么前半句自然应该描述这个过程的**开始**。
3. **逻辑连贯性**:整个句子结构是 "Start time ... and last ... End time"(开始于……并持续至……)。因此,空缺处必须是一个表示“开始”的动词。
### 结论
根据上下文逻辑和时间顺序,间隔年是在学生离校时**开始**的。
因此,正确答案是 **B. begin**。
