选项 A、spark
B、inspire
C、irritate
D、trigger
答案D
解析 动词辨析题。句意同上。根据上下文可知此处填入的动词应表示“引发，激发”，和emotion构成动宾结构。spark“发动，鼓舞”；inspire“启迪，启发”，例如：My mother inspires us with stories of her difficultchildhood．(我的妈妈给我们讲童年时的艰苦生活以激励我们。)irritate“刺激；激怒”，例如：Dry air canirritate your sinuses，but keeping air moist can help reduce congestion．(干空气会刺激你的鼻子，但保持空气湿润能够减少鼻充血。)trigger作动词时表示“引发，引起，触发”，例如：This mentalist yearn easilytrigger a large-scale consumption campaign．(这种心态容易引发一场大规模消费高潮。)显然[D]trigger为答案。
