答案解析
正确答案:A
解析:
这是一道动词辨析的问题。我们根据问题进行分析
1. 首先,理解句子的整体语境文中描述了一个人匆忙的一天,从起床、洗漱、送孩子上学到匆忙赶到工作地点。这里的关键是理解主人公的匆忙和紧张。
2. 接下来,关注到空白处所在的句子“rushing into the building and _16() up the stairs three at a time”。这里描述的是主人公冲进大楼后,一次迈三级台阶上楼的动作。
3. 分析选项:
- A选项“leaping”意为“跳跃”,与“一次迈三级台阶”这个动作相符,表现出主人公的匆忙。
- B选项“walking”意为“走路”,与文中描述的匆忙情景不符。
- C选项“driving”意为“驾驶”,而此处描述的是上楼的动作,与驾驶无关。
- D选项“moving”意为“移动”,虽然可以描述动作,但不够具体,不能准确表达“一次迈三级台阶”的跳跃感。
4. 综合考虑语境和选项的含义,A选项“leaping”最能准确、生动地描述主人公匆忙上楼的动作。
因此,答案是A,即“leaping”。这个动词准确地捕捉到了主人公在匆忙中上楼的动作特点。
