(2006年全國碩士研究生入學統一考試英語試題-Section I Use of English)
Not everyone agrees on the number of?Americans who are homeless. Estimates
___anywhere from 600,000 to 3 million.
[A] cover???[B] change???[C] range???[D] differ
重點解析:
題干的意思是:不是每個人都認同美國流浪漢的數量,估計數字...60萬到3百
萬之間。estimate是之前學習過的詞,表示估計,估算。注意介詞from是一個提示詞,可
以推測空格處所缺單詞是能夠和from搭配使用的。
接下來逐個分析選項:
A.cover覆蓋,包括?????B.change改變,變化???Change指的是一種無規律的變化,并不涉及在范圍內變化的含義。???C.range在某個范圍/區域中變化???D. differ不同,跟...不一樣
四個選項中,能跟from搭配的有range和differ。但是differ from的意思是與...不同,不符合句意。所以滿足條件的只有C。 range from A to B,指在A到B這個區下間內變化。
參考答案:C
