At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years. Near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100 times in a month, but the【C3】________average does not vary much.
【C4】________comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year, the number of 【C5】________earthquakes is very small.

选项
A、canceling
B、weakening
C、preventing
D、reducing
答案
D
解析
cancel(取消);weaken(削弱);prevent(阻止,防止);reduce(减少,缩小)。结合句意“联合国在________地震造成的损坏方面起了重要的作用”和下文提到的a thing of the past(成为历史)可知,此处需要填入表示“减小,缩小”的词,可先排除A和C。weaken指“削弱,使……变弱”,通常指把力量等变弱而不能指减少损坏力度,故选D。
