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2空的选项(A. on, B. in, C. through)和最终答案 A,但为了提供完整的解析,我们需要结合上下文逻辑进行分析。
以下是针对第 **2** 空的详细解析:
### 题目定位
原文句子:
> "While Daniel organizes my schedule, I talk to friends **____2____** my mobile videophone."
### 逻辑推导
1. **语境分析**:
* 这句话的意思是:“当 Daniel 整理我的日程安排时,我正通过我的移动可视电话和朋友聊天。”
* 这里需要填入一个介词,用来连接动作 "talk"(交谈/通话)和工具 "mobile videophone"(移动可视电话)。
2. **固定搭配与习惯用法**:
* 在英语中,表示“通过某种电子通讯设备”进行交流时,最常用的介词是 **on**。
* 常见搭配包括:
* talk **on** the phone / telephone(在电话里交谈)
* speak **on** the radio(在广播里讲话)
* chat **on** the internet / online(在网上聊天)
* 虽然 "through"(通过)在物理意义上讲得通(声音穿过设备),但在描述使用通讯媒介这一习惯用法时,**on** 是标准搭配。
* "in" 通常用于语言(speak in English)或较大的空间/媒介中,不用于具体的电话设备。
3. **选项辨析**:
* **A. on**:正确。符合 "talk on the phone/videophone" 的习惯搭配。
* **B. in**:错误。通常不说 "talk in the phone"。
* **C. through**:干扰项。虽然中文常说“通过电话”,容易让人想到 through,但在英语习惯中,指代使用电话这一媒介时,优先使用 on。Through 更多强调物理穿透或经由某个中间过程(例如:The light came through the window)。
### 结论
根据英语固定搭配习惯,“使用电话/可视电话交谈”应使用介词 **on**。
因此,正确答案是 **A**。
