中单选题【2017年真题】Despite the enormous popularity and influence of his book, White saw his career founder.
A.relapse
B.collapse
C.decline
D.fail
参考答案:D
答案解析:(1)句子结构。
本题主句的结构为主动宾补(SVOC),主语为White,saw为谓语,his career是宾语,
founder 为宾语补语,Despite the enormous popularity and influence of his book 为让步状语。
(2)选项词义。
A.relapse vi.退回原状
B.collapse vi.倒塌;瓦解;暴跌
C.decline vi.下降;衰落;谢绝
D.fail vi.失败,不及格;破产;衰退
句子大意为“尽管怀特的书广受欢迎、影响深远,但他看到了自己的事业己终结”。题
干中的founder为动词,意为“失败”“破产”,与选项中的fail词义最为接近,因此选
项D正确。
