问题 Desiring to______his talking friends, Mark gave them candies to keep their mouths shut.
选项 A、terrify
B、offend
C、reward
D、silence
答案 D
解析    (1)句子结构。
   本题的句子结构为主动双宾语(SVoO)，主语为Mark，谓语动词为gave，双宾语为them(间接宾语)和candies(直接宾语)，现在分词desiring to do…作原因状语，to keep their mouths shut为目的状语。
   (2)选项词义。
   A．terrify vt．使恐怖；使惊吓；恐吓；吓唬
   B．offend vt．触怒；得罪；冒犯；使反感；令人不适
   C．reward vt．酬谢；奖赏；报答
   D．silence vt．使安静；使沉默
   本句大意为“为了让滔滔不绝的朋友们安静下来，马克请他们吃糖，以堵上他们的嘴巴”。根据上下文，keep mouths shut的结果就是silence，因此选项D是最佳答案。
