选项
A、hardly
B、certainly
C、nearly
D、somehow
答案
C
解析
词义辨析题,hardly意为“几乎不”,nearly意为“几乎”,certainly意为“的确”,somehow意为“不知何故”,结合上下文可知,本句意思是“美国人几乎90%的旅行都使用他们自己的车”,故B正确,考点 hardly侧重指因困难而不可能,通常与can, could或possible连用,barely意为“几乎不能”时,比scarcely和hardly语气更强,nearly, almost虽然都可以表示“几乎”,但nearly侧重指“接近,就要到了”,almost侧重指“不足,尚差一点儿”
