答案精解
1. [答案]C

[分析]ignore的意思是“忽视,忽略;对……装作不知”;neglect的意思是“忽视,忽略”;表示对人或物没有给予应有的注意和关心;deny和refuse都可表示“拒绝”,但用法不同。deny的意思是“拒绝,使人不能得到”;后面连接两个宾语,指人的是间接宾语,直接宾语是所拒绝的事物。例如:The library will not deny you access to those documents.图书馆不会不让你看那些文献。refuse 表示“拒绝,不肯讲,是极常用的。例如:A good doctor should have sympathy for his patients and never refuse their reasonable requests for proper advice. 好医生应同情病人,绝不可拒绝病人的合理要求而不给予正当的指导。由些可见,本题中的主语American women是deny 的间接宾语,the right是deny所拒绝的事物。
