A. maximize
B. minimize
题目解答
答案
B. minimize
解析
本题考查动词词义辨析,核心在于根据上下文逻辑选择合适的动词。句子描述了军民团结战胜洪水的情景,关键点在于理解“战胜洪水”与“损失”之间的关系。需要判断是“扩大损失”还是“减少损失”,从而排除错误选项。
步骤解析
1. 理解句意
句子前半部分提到“战胜严重洪水”,后半部分强调“军民团结、不畏艰险”,最终结果应为积极的,即“将洪水造成的损失降到最低”。
2. 分析选项含义
- A. maximize:意为“最大化”,若填入会使句意变为“使损失最大化”,与“战胜洪水”矛盾。
- B. minimize:意为“最小化”,填入后句意为“使损失最小化”,符合上下文逻辑。
3. 逻辑匹配
“战胜洪水”与“减少损失”是因果关系,因此正确答案为B。
