For sure, the recommendations (1)_____ this week to Crown Prince Abdullah at the end of an (2)_____ round of "national dialogue" concentrating on the role of women were fairly tame. In the reformers-versus-reactionaries (3)_____ test of whether women should be allowed to drive cars (at present they cannot do so in the kingdom, nor can they travel unaccompanied, by whatever (4)_____ of motion), the king was merely asked to" (5)_____ a body to study a public transport system for women to facilitate mobility". (6)_____ mention, of course, of the right to vote—but then that has been (7)_____ to men too, though local elections, on an apparently universal franchise, are supposed to be held in October.

选项
A、destroy
B、defy
C、decimate
D、dilate
答案
A
解析
destroy摧毁,毁坏、defy公然反抗;蔑视、decimate大批杀死;大大减少、dilute削弱;降低;冲淡;稀释。本题是一道句子之间的语意逻辑推导题。本题所在句的前一句话指出:美国人试图把自己的价值观强加于包括阿拉伯国家在内的别国。由此可以推断出:这种行径旨在试图毁灭伊斯兰世界。故本题的正确答案应该是"destroy"(摧毁)。
