选项
A、familiarize
B、relate
C、roar
D、contrast
答案
D
解析
动词辨析题。文章开头提到“美国人虽然寿命更长但并不那么健康,因为可预防的慢性病的患病率高”,空格所在句进一步指出“寿命的延长和美国人不健康的生活行为——”,所填动词应该能和with组合,表达“对比,比较”的意思。纵观四个选项,应该是“形成对比”才能说通,contrast的意思是“对比,对照”,contrast with“与……形成对比”,所以应该选D)。familiarize with“精通……”;relate…with…“将……与……联系起来”;roar with常与laughter或rage连用,表示“哄堂大笑”或“大肆咆哮”。
