问题 Clifford Shaw, an American sociologist, reached the conclusion that the industrial urban environment______ the moral fiber(品质, 意志)and traditions of immigrants who settled in the great cities.
选项 A、shortened
B、lessened
C、lightened
D、weakened
答案D
解析 shorten“缩短；减少”，如，shorten a long article“缩短一篇长文”，此词不能用于品质或传统；lessen“减少，减轻”，此词一般指从数量上或程度上的减少，如，lessen production costs“减少生产成本”，lessen the difference between the city and thecountryside“缩小城乡差别”，所以此词一般也不能用于品质或传统；lighten“减轻”，指某物重量减轻；weaken“削弱，减弱”，此词可以指削弱意志、品质等。所以应选D。
