问题 Why does the author mention "pyramid builders"?
The word "devastating" in the last paragraph could be best replaced by
选项 A、frustrating
B、damaging.
C、defeating.
D、worrying.
答案B
解析 devastate是及物动词，意思是：使荒芜；破坏。devastating既是现在分词，又是形容词，此处不是动词devastate的现在分词，因为它后面不跟名词短语。因此只能是形容词。它的意思是：破坏性的。frustrate是动词，意思是：使受挫；受挫。frustrating是现在分词，同时也是形容词。作形容词时，它的意思是：令人失望的。可以看出，它跟devastating的意思相差很远。It was frustrating to be out of government for the next four years. damage：破坏，毁灭。 damaging是它的现在分词，但它本身也是形容词，意思是：破坏的或毁灭的。跟devastating意思相近，是合适的选择。defeat：击败。His guerrillas defeated the colonial army in 1954． worry：担忧，发愁。worrying：令人担忧的，令人发愁的。It is very worrying that petrol bombs have been brought into a fight between two secondary schools．
