解析
本题考查词汇辨析,解题思路是理解句子的语境,明确社区服务队的职责,然后分析每个选项单词的含义,看哪个选项能准确表达社区服务队在居民纠纷方面所起的作用。
- 首先分析句子 “Consisting of volunteers from the neighborhood, the community service team ___ disputes among residents and assists them in resolving problems.” 的意思,即由社区志愿者组成的社区服务队对居民之间的纠纷做某种行为,并帮助他们解决问题。
- 接着看选项:
- A选项 “culminates”,其含义是“达到顶点;告终”,例如 “The party culminated in a huge fireworks display.”(聚会以一场盛大的烟花表演结束。),显然“达到顶点”与社区服务队处理居民纠纷的职责不相符,所以A选项不正确。
- B选项 “mediates”,意思是“调解;斡旋”,例如 “The United Nations is mediating between the two countries.”(联合国正在这两个国家之间进行调解。),社区服务队的职责就是调解居民之间的纠纷,该选项符合语境,所以B选项正确。
- C选项 “illuminates”,意为“照亮;阐明”,例如 “The lamp illuminates the room.”(灯照亮了房间。),“阐明”与处理居民纠纷的行为不相关,所以C选项不合适。
- D选项 “escalates”,表示“使逐步升级;加剧”,例如 “The conflict between the two groups escalated quickly.”(这两个团体之间的冲突迅速升级。),社区服务队的目的是解决纠纷,而不是加剧纠纷,所以D选项错误。
