问题     An earthquake hit Kashmir on Oct. 8, 2005. It took some 75,000 lives, 【B1】______ 130,000 and left nearly 3.5 million without food, jobs or homes. 【B2】______ overnight, scores of tent villages bloomed 【B3】______ the region, tended by international aid organizations, military 【B4】______ and aid groups working day and night to shelter the survivors before winter set【B5】______.
    Mercifully, the season was mild. But with the 【B6】______ of spring the refugees will be moved again. Camps that 【B7】______ health care, food and shelter for 150,000 survivors have begun to close as they were 【B8】______ intended to be permanent.
    For most of the refugees, the thought of going back brings【B9】______emotions. The past six months have been difficult. Families of【B10】______many as 10 people have had to shelter【B11】______a single tent and share cook stoves and bathing【B12】______with neighbors. "They are looking forward to the clean water of their rivers," officials say. "They are【B13】______of free fresh fruit. They want to get back to their herds and start【B14】______again." But most will be returning to【B15】______but heaps of ruins. In many villages, electrical【B16】______have not been repaired, nor have roads. Aid workers【B17】______that it will take years to rebuild what the earthquake took【B18】______. And for the thousands of survivors, the【B19】______will never be complete.
    Yet the survivors have to start somewhere. New homes can be built【B20】______the stones, bricks and beams of old ones. Spring is coming and it is a good time to start again.
【B17】
选项 A、account
B、measure
C、estimate
D、evaluate
答案C
解析 考查动词辨析。空后的that it will take years to rebuild应该是Aid workers对将来重建状况的预测或估计，故C．estimate“估计”符合文意。account“计算”，measure“测量”，evaluate“评估”，均与空后的内容不符。
