单项选择题
The old couple decided to ______ a boy and a girl though they had three of their own.
A.adapt
B.bring
C.receive
D.adopt
答案
参考答案:D
解析: 本题测试词义辨析。adapt意为“适应,改变”,如:It's hard to adapt myself to the weather here.(我很难适应这儿的天气。)bring意为“拿来,带来”;receive意为“接受,收到”;adopt意为“采取,收养”,如:The government adopted some new measures to promote the ties between the two nations.(政府采取了一些新的措施来加强两国的关系。)所以题目中考查了adopt的第二个意思,即“收养”。所以D选项是正确答案。
