答案
D. caters
解析
本题考查动词词义辨析,解题思路是理解每个选项单词的含义,再结合句子语境来判断哪个选项符合句子表达的逻辑。
- A选项“sticks”:“stick”常见含义有“粘贴;坚持”等,“stick to”表示“坚持;遵守”。例如:You should stick to your plan.(你应该坚持你的计划。)在本题中,“食堂坚持来自世界各地的年轻运动员”,语义不通,所以A选项不符合。
- B选项“contributes”:“contribute”意为“贡献;捐献”,“contribute to”表示“对……做出贡献;导致”。例如:Everyone should contribute to protecting the environment.(每个人都应该为保护环境做出贡献。)“食堂对来自世界各地的年轻运动员做出贡献”,没有准确表达出食堂的功能,不符合语境,所以B选项不正确。
- C选项“attributes”:“attribute”有“把……归因于;认为……是由于”的意思,“attribute...to...”是固定搭配。例如:He attributes his success to hard work.(他把自己的成功归因于努力工作。)“食堂把来自世界各地的年轻运动员归因于……”,语义混乱,所以C选项不合适。
- D选项“caters”:“cater”意为“迎合;满足……的需求”,“cater to”表示“为……提供服务;迎合……的口味”。在本题中,“The canteen at the Olympic Village caters to young athletes from worldwide”表示“奥运村的食堂为来自世界各地的年轻运动员提供服务”,符合食堂的功能和句子语境,所以D选项正确。
