D. evolve
题目解答
答案
B. defend
解析
本题考查对单词词义的理解和和运用。解题思路是先明确每个选项单词的含义,再结合句子语境,判断哪个单词能使句子表达合理的意思。
- A选项:“spill”常见释义为“溢出;洒出”。例如:“The milk spilled on the floor.”(牛奶洒在了地板上。将其代入句子 “The duty of a soldier is to spill his country.” 中,“士兵的职责是溢出他的国家”,语义不通,所以A选项不符合。
- B选项:“defend”意为“保卫;防御”。“The duty of a soldier” 表示“士兵的职责”,“defend his country” 即“保卫他的国家”,这是符合士兵职责的合理表达,符合句子语境,所以B选项正确。
- C选项:“assist”意思是“帮助;协助”。比如 “Can you assist me with this task?” 你能帮我完成这项任务吗?“The duty of a soldier is to assist his country.” 士兵的职责是协助他的国家,这种表达不符合常理,所以C选项不合适。
- D选项:“evolve”有“进化;发展”的意思。例如 “Species evolve over time.” 物种随着时间进化。“The duty of a soldier is to evolve his country.” 士兵的职责是进化国家,语义不合理,所以D选项不正确。
