答案:(B) eliminating
eliminate 是「根除、消滅」,用於疾病、貧窮、問題這類抽象事物,本句指蚊帳是遏止瘧疾擴散的最大希望;expanding(擴大)語意相反,deleting(刪除,用於文字資料)、assisting(協助)都不合。
答對率 32%。
eliminate 與 delete 的中文都能翻成「消除」,你大概把兩個字當同義字。使用對象完全不同:delete 用於文字、檔案、資料這類能按刪除鍵的東西(delete a file/a message);eliminate 用於抽象事物——疾病、貧窮、危險、對手(eliminate poverty/malaria)。瘧疾的擴散不可能用 delete。
These nets are recognized… as the best hope for ___ the spread of malaria——既然是 the best hope(最大的希望),空格必然是正面的、對抗疾病的動作。expanding(擴大)剛好站錯邊。
eliminate 在競賽裡是「淘汰」,多用被動:Our team was eliminated in the first round.。
eliminate poverty/disease(根除貧窮/疾病)、be eliminated from a competition(在競賽中被淘汰)、delete a file(刪除檔案)、the spread of(…的擴散)。
