问题 Paradoxically, England’s colonization of North America was ______ by its success: the increasing prosperity of the colonies diminished their dependence upon, and hence their loyalty to, their home country.
选项 A、demonstrated
B、determined
C、altered
D、undermined
E、distinguished
答案 D
解析 方法一：
- 方程等号：冒号说明前后同义重复。
- 强词和对应：后文提到殖民地的日益繁荣减少了(diminished)它们对祖国(英国)的依赖以及忠诚。prosperity和success构成同义重复，因此空格和diminished构成同义重复，体现殖民统治被它的成功“减少”，负向。demonstrate证实，determine决定，alter改变，undermine削弱，distinguish区分。答案选D。
方法二：
- 方程等号：Paradoxically矛盾地，句意取反。
- 强词和对应：success指向空格，取反，体现成功的“负面作用”，正确答案为D。
