2026 考研英语易错题：上下文语义逻辑推断
阅读以下段落，回答问题：
While renewable energy sources like solar and wind have gained significant traction in recent years, their widespread adoption is hampered by a critical limitation: intermittency. Unlike fossil fuels, which can generate power consistently, solar panels and wind turbines depend on weather conditions, leading to fluctuations in energy output. This challenge, however, has spurred innovations in energy storage technologies, such as advanced batteries, which aim to bridge the gap between supply and demand.
The word “hampered” in the passage is closest in meaning to:
A. Accelerated
B. Impeded
C. Ignored
D. Celebrated
解析：
本题考查根据上下文逻辑推断生词含义的能力，需结合句间关系和语义走向判断。
- 段落首句通过 “While” 引导转折，前半句说明可再生能源 “获得显著发展”，后半句则指出其广泛应用受到 “间歇性” 这一局限的影响，前后形成对比。
- 从 “limitation”（局限）一词可推断，“hampered” 应表达负面含义，即 “受到阻碍”。选项 B “Impeded”（阻碍）符合此处逻辑。
- 干扰项 A（Accelerated，加速）与转折后的负面语境矛盾；C（Ignored，忽视）体现的是主观态度，而非客观上的限制；D（Celebrated，颂扬）与文意完全相反。
答案：B
