选项 A、Trivial
B、Mild
C、Tiny
D、Faint
答案 B
解析 形容词辨析题。句意为：轻微的嫉妒是一种正常、健康的情绪，它是使我们的生活不断继续的一部分。根据句子后半部分出现的a normal，healthy emotion(一种正常、健康的情绪)可知，此处填入修饰jealousy的形容词应该表示“程度轻的”。[B]Mild“温和的，轻微的”可修饰jealousy，表示程度轻微的嫉妒，为正确答案。其余三个形容词也含有“弱的，细小”的意思，但是侧重点不同。trivial“不重要的，琐碎的”，例如：It’s useless to fire away with such trivial details．(喋喋不休地谈这些琐碎细节是无用的。)tiny“微小的，很少的”，强调与同类或其他物体比较，小得超出正常比例，有时带强烈的感情色彩。例如：The tiny tropical island of Ascension is not easy to find．(这个微小的阿森松热带岛屿很不容易找到。)faint“虚弱的，微弱的”，指对某事物印象不深，或指声音微弱或希望渺茫等。例如：He coulddiscern a faint light ahead in the forest．(他能看到前面森林里有一线微弱的灯光。)[A]、[C]、[D]均不符合语境，所以排除。
