答案解析
正确答案:C
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5空的选项,但我们可以根据上下文逻辑进行详细解析。
**正确答案:C. break**
### 解析过程:
1. **语境分析**:
句子前半部分提到:“Prince William’s decision to have a gap year... was typical of ... people in the UK”(威廉王子决定休间隔年……这在英国人中很典型)。
紧接着的句子解释了“gap year”(间隔年)的具体行为:“they take a ____5____ from studying...”(他们从学习中______......)。
2. **词义辨析**:
* **A. breath**:呼吸。常用搭配有 `take a breath`(喘口气),通常指短暂的休息或调整呼吸,不符合“间隔年”这种长达数月甚至一年的长期脱离学习的状态。
* **B. nap**:小睡,打盹。`take a nap` 指短时间睡觉,显然与语境不符。
* **C. break**:休息,中断,假期。`take a break` 是固定搭配,意为“休息一下”或“暂停某事”。在这里,`take a break from studying` 意为“暂时停止学习/从学习中抽身休息”,非常准确地描述了“gap year”的本质——即在两个教育阶段之间的一段休息时间。
3. **逻辑验证**:
文章的主题是“Gap Year”(间隔年)。间隔年的定义就是学生在升学之前或之后,暂时停下学业,去旅行、工作或体验生活。因此,用 **break**(中断/休息)来描述从学习状态中抽离出来是最恰当的。
### 结论:
根据句意“他们从学习中**休息/暂停**一段时间”,选项 **C. break** 符合逻辑和习惯搭配。
**完整句意参考:**
They take a **break** from studying and see some of the world...
(他们暂时**停止**学习,去看看这个世界……)
