选项 A、shifts
B、converts
C、modifies
D、varies
答案D
解析 词义辨析题，shift 意为“移动”，convery 意为“转换”，modify 意为“修改”，vary 意为“变化”，结合句意可知，所处地点不同，所受辐射量也不一样，所以D正确，考点 convert 和change 意思相同，但convert 通常指“从某种状态、某种用途、某种意向转变为另一种状态、用途和意向”，如水化为蒸汽、荒地变为良田、化喜为悲、改变信仰等，change 是最通俗的词，可以指各方面的改变，modify相当于make different，多用于指“修改计划、契约，改变方法、制度等”，如：The terms of the contract have been modified．该合同的条款已经修改过了，shift 强调转换，指“由一个人或结构到另一个的转变，或位置的变换、更替等”，如：The teacher shifted the chairs around in the classroom. 那位教师挪动了教室里的椅子
