Almost all foreigners【C1】______to find the city wreathed in yellow-gray mist for most of the year. Dickens, who was.【C2】______responsible for painting this【C3】______in people’s minds, certainly wasn’t exaggerating in those days, People【C4】______in the nineteenth century that when someone.【C5】______suicide by jumping into the Thames he has chocked by the fog and poisoned by the terrible【C6】______of the river before he had time to drown himself.

【C12】
选项 A、hardly
B、barely
C、scarcely
D、seldom
答案D
解析 词义辨析题。hardly，scarcely都表示“几乎不”的意思，是半否定词；barely表示“仅仅，只”的意思，这三个词的词义都不符合此空的语义，所以A、B和C项不正确；只有D项表示“很少”的意思，符合上下文的语义。
