选项 A、water
B、wet
C、soak
D、irrigate
答案 D
解析 词义辨析题，在水量不足的地区，通常需要用外界的水来灌溉，irrigate意为“灌溉”，符合句意，所以D正确，water意为“浇水，喷淋”，wet意为“弄湿”，soak意为“浸透”，均不符合句意，故排除，考点 wet作及物动词时相当于make wet和moisten，soak指 “浸透，湿透”，所指的湿度要大于雨淋的湿度，例如指把硬东西放在水里泡软，如：We soak dirty dishes in soapy water to loose the food particles．我们把用过的盘子泡在肥皂水里以使黏附的食物残渣容易被清洗掉，irrigate多指“灌溉，滋润”，也有“冲洗伤口”等义
