(2013·高考湖北卷)He didn’t selfishly keep for himself the money inherited from his uncle.Instead,he made a________contribution to help the community.
A.commercial
B.generous
C.comparable
D.profitable
答案:B
选B。句意:他没有自私地把从叔叔那里继承的钱自己留着,而慷慨捐赠出去以帮助社区。commercial“商业的,商务的”;generous“慷慨的,大方的”;comparable“类似的;比得上的”;profitable“有利可图的”。根据关键词instead可知,前后语意相反,make a contribution表示“捐献”,因此B项“慷慨的,大方的”符合语境。
