B. turn down
C. turn up
D. fork out
题目解答
答案
D. fork out
解析
本题考查对不同短语动词含义的理解和运用。解题的关键在于准确把握每个选项短语的意思,并结合句子的语境来判断哪个选项最合适。
- A选项“cheer up”:意为“使高兴;使振奋”。例如:You should cheer up and face the difficulties bravely.(你应该振作起来,勇敢地面对困难。)在本题中,“cheer up about $325 million”从语义上无法合理表达句子的意思,所以A选项不符合。
- B选项“turn down”:有“拒绝;调低(音量等)”的意思。比如:He turned down my invitation.(他拒绝了我的邀请。)或者Please turn down the radio.(请把收音机音量调低。)“turn down about $325 million”在本句语境中逻辑不通,故B选项不正确。
- C选项“turn up”:表示“出现;调高(音量等)”。例如:He didn't turn up at the party last night.(他昨晚没有出现在聚会上。)或者Turn up the TV, I can't hear clearly.(把电视音量调大,我听不清。)“turn up about $325 million”不符合句子要表达的意思,所以C选项也不合适。
- D选项“fork out”:意思是“支付;掏钱”。在句子“Initially the administration would be asked to fork out about $325 million per year for Landsat and weather”中,表达“最初,政府每年将被要求为陆地卫星和气象方面支付约3.25亿美元”,语义通顺合理,符合语境。
