The word “tough”(Line 7, Paragraph 2) most probably means_____.

[A] piercing to the truth

[B] using vulgar language

[C] mean and hostile

[D] difficult to understand

参考答案:

A本题考查词义理解。tough一词出现在第二段第六句,该句指出,观众渴望这种tough谈话。其上文提到,电视工作组起初害怕观众会被菲尔博士“面对现实”的强硬(stern)建议惹怒。因此tough talk指的就是上文stern advice,即呼吁人们“面对现实”的建议。因此最接近的含义是[A]。
