【C4】
选项 A、fundamental
B、vital
C、basic
D、radical
答案B
解析 形容词辨析题。句意为：……对当地居民来说，热带雨林是他们衣食、燃料和药物的重要来源。这组词都有“基本的”的意思，其区别是：fundamental侧重指作为基础、根本的抽象的事物。例如：We shoulddirect out attention at the fundamental question．(我们应把注意力集中在这个基本问题上。)basic指明确、具体的基础或起点。例如：Drums are basic to African music．(鼓是非洲音乐的基本乐器。)radical着重指事物的根本或其来源。例如：The government is putting through some radical social reforms．(政府正在实行某些彻底的社会改革。)均不符合上下文语境，故排除。[B]vital是正式用词，侧重指维持生命、活力必不可少的，或生死攸关的，符合原文语境，故为答案。
