He would rather ______ his life than see damage done to state property.A. scanB. scareC. sacrificeD. satisfy

本题考查词汇辨析以及“would rather...than...”结构的用法。解题思路是先明确“would rather...than...”表示“宁愿……而不愿……”，然后分析每个选项单词的含义，看哪个选项能使句子逻辑通顺。

• A选项：“scan”常见含义为“扫描；浏览”。若将“scan”代入句子“He would rather scan his life than see damage done to state property.”，句子表达“他宁愿浏览他的生活也不愿看到国家财产受到损害”，逻辑不通，所以A选项不符合。
• B选项：“scare”意为“使惊恐；吓唬”。“He would rather scare his life than see damage done to state property.”即“他宁愿吓唬他的生活也不愿看到国家财产受到损害”，此表达不符合正常逻辑，B选项不正确。
• C选项：“sacrifice”是“牺牲”的意思。“He would rather sacrifice his life than see damage done to state property.”表示“他宁愿牺牲自己的生命也不愿看到国家财产受到损害”，逻辑合理，符合语境，C选项正确。
• D选项：“satisfy”有“使满意；满足”的含义。“He would rather satisfy his life than see damage done to state property.”意思是“他宁愿满足他的生活也不愿看到国家财产受到损害”，逻辑不恰当，D选项不合适。
