问题
单项选择题
Farmers are more anxious for rain than people in cities because they have more at ______.
A. danger
B. stake
C. loss
D. threat
答案
参考答案:B
解析: 本题是说农民比城市的人们更渴望下雨,因为对他们来说利害关系更大。B项“stake n.利害关系,股份;赌本,赌注”(have a stake in sth.在……方面有利害关系;be at stake/have sth.at stake关系到……;……处于危险之中;是得到或丧失……的问题,如:the peace is at stake;He has a lot at stake in the venture.)符合题意。其他三项中,可以说be in danger,不说be at danger;可以说at a loss“不知所措,不知如何是好”;不说at loss;可以说under [the] threat of“处于……的威胁下”;不说at threat)。因此只有B项为正确答案。
