请教两个关于词义的问题
说明:这两个题是从一篇完形填空里抽出来的 主题是讲2008北京奥运福娃的
The five Friendlies will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games,carrying a message of friendship and peace----and blessings from
China----to children all over the world.Desighed to express the playful____of five little children who form an intimate circle of friends,the five Friendlies also...
A.quantities B.natures C.kinds D.qualities
答案用的是D.qualities 说是表现了5个福娃的特点或特性,但我觉得B.natures 表示顽皮的天性似乎更适合一点,(nature这个词虽大都用作不可数,但也有可数的用法)
A fish is also symbol of surplus in Chinese culture,another _____of a good
year and a good life.
A.measure B.means C.manner D.fashion
答案用的是A.measure 但我选的是 D.fashion,我倒觉得这四个词用地都有些别扭,但是非要选一个的话,用fashion表方式,风格或是流行比measure 尺度,标准稍好一些.
