语感
accept = 主动伸手接过来——接受提议，承认事实，接纳某人，都是「说了好」
接受承认（事实）录取，接纳
陷阱
⚠️accept vs. receive：含首肯 vs. 单纯收到
The research institute received dozens of applications but only accepted twelve candidates for the fellowship programme.
✗
receive = accept（收到，接受，都是「得到」，可以互换）
✓
receive（收到，物理上得到，不含评价：received dozens of applications = 收到了申请，没有任何批准含义）；accept（主动同意接收，含首肯：only accepted twelve = 只录取了十二人，明确有评判和批准）；两词在同一句中形成对比，不可互换
研究所收到了数十份申请，但只录取了十二名候选人参加奖学金项目。（receive = 物理上收到；accept = 主动评判后接纳）
⚠️accept + that 从句（承认某事为真）
✗
Scientists now accept the climate change is largely driven by human industrial activity.
科学家现在承认气候变化主要由人类工业活动驱动。（accept 后需加 that）
accept 后接 that 从句（accept that = 承认/接受某事为真），不可省略 that，缺少连接词导致从句结构错误
✓
Scientists now accept that climate change is largely driven by human industrial activity.
科学家现在承认气候变化主要由人类工业活动驱动。
近义辨析
accept vs acknowledge
accept 承认，接受（accept that = 承认某事为真，含首肯或情感上的接受） acknowledge 承认（acknowledge = 正式承认某事的存在或真实性，不含情感接受，偏向理性陈述）

Q1近义选词
选择最恰当的词填空：
The committee eventually ___ that the proposed policy had several significant flaws that needed to be addressed before implementation.
Aaccepted
Backnowledged
✓ 委员会最终承认拟议政策在实施前有几个重大缺陷需要解决。
此处是委员会正式承认（陈述事实）政策存在缺陷，用 acknowledge（理性陈述，无情感接受的含义）；accept 更侧重「内心接受/同意」，在正式政策讨论中 acknowledge 更精准
Q2对错判断
判断下面句子里的用法是否正确：
Most economists now accept that inequality, if left unaddressed, can undermine both social cohesion and long-term economic growth.
accept that + 从句（承认某事为真）用法正确，that 连接词出现，句义通顺
Q3搭配还原
选择正确的词，补全固定搭配：
___ responsibility for the consequences of one's actions（承担行动后果的责任）
承担行动后果的责任
Aaccept
Breceive
Ctake
Dget
完整搭配：accept responsibility for　承担…的责任
accept responsibility for（承担…的责任）是正式书面固定搭配；take responsibility 也可，但 accept 更强调主动认可/首肯；receive/get 无此搭配
