答案
D. crammed
解析
本题考查对不同动词词义的理解和和运用。解题的关键在于准确把握每个选项单词的含义,并结合句子所描述的情境来选择最合适的词汇。
- A选项“catered”:“cater”常见的意思是“提供饮食及服务;迎合”,“be catered to”通常表示“为……提供服务;迎合……的需求”。例如:The restaurant caters to vegetarians.(这家餐厅为素食者提供服务。)在本题中,“20 people were catered into it”这种表达不符合“cater”的用法,也不符合句子要表达的“把20个人塞进帐篷”的意思,所以A选项A不正确。
- B选项“claimed”:“claim”有“声称;要求;认领”等意思。“be claimed to”一般表示“被声称;被认领”。例如:The lost child was claimed by his parents.(走失的孩子被他的父母认领了。)“20 people were claimed into it”这种表达不符合“claim”的常见用法,也与句子情境不相符,所以选项B不正确。
- C选项“curbed”:“curb”意为“控制;抑制;约束”。“be curbed”表示“被控制。例如:The spread of the disease was curbed.(疾病的传播得到了控制。)“20 people were curbed into it”这种表达不符合“curb”的用法,也不能表达出“把人塞进帐篷”的意思,所以选项C不正确。
- D选项“crammed”:“cram”有“把……塞进;挤满”的意思,“be crammed into”表示“被塞进、被挤满。在本题中,“20 people were crammed into it”表示“20个人被塞进了帐篷”,符合句子描述帐篷原本设计容纳10人,但为了躲避突然的暴风雨,20个人被挤了进去,“crammed”符合句子的情境和语义,所以选项D正确。
