问题
单项选择题
A luxury express train jumped the tracks on a bridge in eastern India, killing at least 50 on the spot. According to the Northern Railway spokesman, the death ______ is expected to rise.
A. figure
B. toll
C. span
D. yield
答案
参考答案:B
解析: 本题意为“在东印度的一座桥上一辆豪华特快列车脱轨,造成现场至少50人死亡。据Northern Railway发言人透露,预计的死亡人数还将上升”。toll的意思是“(事故等的)伤亡人数”,如:Automobile accidents take a heavy toll of human lives. 车祸使许多人丧生。figure在作“数字”讲时,指数字0到9或统计数字;p的意思是“范围,跨度”;yield的意思是“产量,收益”。只有B项符合题意。
