The city was extensively ____ during that t horrible earthquake.
A. wounded
B. hurt
C. injured
D. damaged
题目解答
答案
D. damaged
解析
本题考查动词的用法辨析,核心在于区分不同动词的适用对象和语境。关键点在于:
- 主语是无生命的事物(city),需选择描述物体受损的动词;
- 地震带来的破坏是物理性的,需体现结构或功能的损坏;
- 排除法:排除专指人受伤的选项(wounded, hurt, injured)。
选项分析
- A. wounded:通常用于人或动物因战斗、暴力等受到身体伤害(如wounded soldiers)。
- B. hurt:多指情感伤害或轻微身体疼痛(如hurt feelings或hurt one's back)。
- C. injured:常用于意外事故导致的身体伤害(如injured in a car crash)。
- D. damaged:专指物体或结构因外力受损(如damaged house),符合城市在地震中被破坏的语境。
关键结论
城市是无生命的事物,地震导致的是物理性破坏,因此选D. damaged。
