B. declined
C. curbed
D. confronted
题目解答
答案
D. confronted
解析
本题考查动词词义辨析及固定搭配。题目意为“这意味着人类将____是否把人迁往水源地或把水源引向人类的决定”,需结合选项动词含义及与介词“with”的搭配判断。
选项分析:
- A. deprived:意为“剥夺”,常用搭配为“deprive sb. of sth.”(剥夺某人某物),后接“of”而非“with”,且句意不符,排除。
- B. declined:意为“下降;谢绝”,作“谢绝”时常用“decline sth.”(谢绝某事),不与“with”搭配,且“下降”之意与句意无关,排除。
- C. curbed:意为“控制;抑制”,常用搭配为“curb sth.”(控制某物),不与“with”搭配,排除。
- D. confronted:意为“面对;面临”,固定搭配为“be confronted with”(面临/面对……),符合句意“人类将面临是否搬迁人口或水源的决定”,正确。
