选项 A、breed
B、raise
C、manufacture
D、reproduce
答案 B
解析 此题为词义辨析题。首先，根据句子成分，我们可以判断出要选择这个动词的宾语是domestic animals together with various crops，这个动词的搭配是“...domestic animals together with various crops for food”。其中文含义为：……家禽和各种作物作为我们的食物，再看一下答案，可以判定这个动词的初步含义是“饲养”和“种植”，而且最重要的是，这个动词既可以与动物，又可以与植物搭配。A) breed 有“to rear or train；bring up (养育，训练；抚养)”的意思，但这个词只可以与动物搭配，如：“He breeds cattle．他饲养牛。”B) raise 有两个含义，一个是“to grow，especially in quantity；cultivate (种植，栽培，繁殖增长，尤指在数量方面；种植)”，例如：“raise corn and soy- beans 种玉米和大豆”。另一个是“to breed and care for to maturity (饲养繁殖并照顾到成熟)”，例如：“raise cattle 饲养牛”。这个词既可以与动物，又可以与植物搭配，所以为正确答案。C) manufacture 的意思是“制造，加工”，无法与动物搭配。D) reproduce 是“繁殖，再生，复制”的意思，与文义相差较远。
