Water scarcity is defined as less than 1,000 cubic metres of water available per person per year,【C11】______water stress means less than 1,500 cubic metres of water is available per person per year.

选项
A、halt
B、cease
C、suspend
D、quit
答案
A
解析
动词辨析题。四个选项都含有“停止”之意,halt指“运动或前进的停止,是很突然地停止,尤其指暂停”;cease指“慢慢停止”;suspend指“正式、公平的中断或停止,推迟或延续某事”;quit指“最终彻底停止某事,有时暗示遭到失败或面临挫折”。文中谈到的是环境保护主义者和政府及建筑业之间对于水坝建设的斗争,因为不清楚水坝建设如果停止后会不会继续,因此很大可能只是暂停,所以用halt适合。
