题目解答
答案
本题考察词义辨析。根据句意，“the accident didn't ___ many people”需填入“involve”，表示“涉及，牵涉”。其他选项：
- B. respond（回应）不符合语境。
- C. entertain（娱乐）与句意不符。
- D. assigned（分配）明显错误。
只有A项“involve”可表“未涉及多人”，完整句为：“Fortunately, the accident didn't involve many people, for there was little traffic at that hour.” 答案：A. involve
解析
本题考查动词词义辨析，核心在于根据语境选择最合适的动词。句子中“the accident didn't ___ many people”需要填入一个表示“涉及、牵涉”的动词。关键点在于理解“involve”在此处的常见用法，以及排除其他不符合语境的选项。
选项分析
A. involve
“Involve” 意为“涉及、牵涉”，常用于表示某事件或行为对人或事物产生影响。例如：“The accident involved several cars.”（事故涉及多辆车）。本题中，后半句“there was little traffic at that hour”（那时交通量小）说明事故未造成大规模影响，因此“involve”符合逻辑。
B. respond
“Respond” 意为“回应、反应”，通常搭配“to”（如“respond to a question”）。句子中“accident”与“respond”搭配不合理，排除。
C. entertain
“Entertain” 意为“娱乐、款待”，与“accident”语境完全不符，排除。
D. assigned
“Assigned” 意为“分配、指派”，常用于任务或责任的分配（如“assign homework”）。此处无法与“accident”形成合理搭配，排除。
