问题
选择题
The earthquake almost ___ all the bridges in this area, and they were beyond repair.
A.destroyed
B.damaged
C.ruined
D.injured
答案
答案:A
题目分析:动词辨析。Destroy毁掉(指有形物体被彻底毁掉,无法修复);damage破坏(可以修复)ruin毁掉;injure指受伤。本句指地震毁掉了这个地区所有的桥梁。指毁坏有形的物体。故A正确。
点评:对于destroy, damage, ruin, injure四个词要从破坏的程度与是否可以修复这两点着手,同时注意发生的场所。
