选项
A、narrowed
B、extended
C、expanded
D、shortened
答案
C
解析
篇章题。上下文理解题。空格后的部分讲了“公共交通发展的结果”,紧接着后一句又说到“工人住所远离工作之地,来回乘车上班”,因此,应选expanded,此处含义为“城市范围扩大”。expand“扩大”,指尺寸、体积、数量或范围的增加,如:She expanded her store by adding a second room.她加了一间房屋来扩大她的商店。extend“延伸,伸展”,表示时间和空间的“延长”,反义词为shorten,如:The railway will be extended next year.明年将要延长这条铁路。本句指城市范围,与面积相关,与长度无关,因此不能选此项。shorten“缩短,减小”,指长度、持续时间的缩短,如:It is well known that smoking will shorten our life.众所周知,抽烟会缩短生命。narrow“使变狭窄,使缩小”,指宽度或范围的缩小,如:The sun narrowed their eyes.阳光照得他们眯起眼睛。如选narrow,则表示城市范围缩小,与上下文的含义相矛盾。
