答案解析
正确答案:A
解析:
这是一道典型的完形填空语境理解题。虽然题目只给出了第4空的选项,但我们可以通过分析上下文逻辑来得出正确答案。
**解析如下:**
1. **定位关键句**:
题目考查的是第4空:“Prince William’s decision to have a gap year in Patagonia was typical of ____4____ people in the UK...”
(威廉王子在巴塔哥尼亚度过间隔年的决定,在英国______人群中是很典型的……)
2. **分析上下文线索**:
* **前文提到**:“Gap years usually... when a student leaves schools... and last... they start higher education...”
(间隔年通常发生在学生离开中学之后,上大学之前。)
* **后文提到**:“...they take a ____5____ from studying and see some of the world ____6____ going on to university...”
(他们在继续上大学或……之前,从学习中休息一下,去看看世界。)
3. **逻辑推理**:
* “Gap year”(间隔年)主要群体是刚刚结束高中学业、准备进入大学的学生。
* 这个年龄段的人群特征显然是“年轻的”(young)。
* 对比选项:
* A. young(年轻的):符合刚毕业高中生/准大学生的年龄特征。
* B. old(年老的):不符合语境,老年人通常已经退休,不涉及“going on to university”(上大学)这一主要背景。
* C. rich(富有的):虽然间隔年需要一定的经济基础,但文中强调的是这种经历在某一类人群中的“典型性”(typical),且前文一直在讨论学生升学的时间线,而非财富状况。此外,威廉王子的例子虽涉及皇室,但文章主旨是普及间隔年概念,针对的是广大青年学生群体。
4. **结论**:
根据“student”(学生)、“higher education”(高等教育)、“university”(大学)等关键词,可以确定这里指的是英国的**年轻人**。
因此,正确答案是 **A. young**。
