问题 Many once prosperous northern mill towns have ______ as industry has moved to the South.

选项 A、condensed
B、shrunk
C、reduced
D、contracted

答案 B

解析 近义词辨析。condense意为“凝结,浓缩”,多指某物由气体变成液体或固体的物态变化,如: Moisture in the atmosphere condensed into dew during the night.(夜间空气中的湿气凝结成露珠。)shrink 意为“缩水,皱缩,缩短”,指在一定条件下,引起长度、尺寸、体积、规模或范围的减小或收缩,如:Wool shrinks in washing.(羊毛洗时会缩水。)reduce;意为“减少,缩小”,可指尺寸、数量、程度、强度、可能性等的减少,常指人为地减少、降低,如:The fire reduced the forest to a few trees.(大火把森林烧得仪剩下几棵树。)contract意为“收缩”,多指物质的遇冷收缩,也可指语句等的缩短,但不能指词的缩短,如:Metal contracts as it cools. (金属遇冷收缩。)
