中单选题【2016年真题】The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jet-like speed toward gaining political independence, but we still creep at horse and buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter.
A.run
B.move
C.step
D.crawl
参考答案:D
答案解析:(1)句子结构。
本题句子结构为 The nations of Asia and Africa (主语)are moving (谓语)with jet-like speed toward gaining political independence (方式状语),but(but为并列连词,连接两个并歹ij分句)we (主语)still creep (谓语)at horse and buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter.(方式状语)。
(2)选项词义。
A.run v.使奔跑:使……快 速移动;经营
B.move v.搬家;行动;进展
C.step v.举步;踏上;跨入;轻快地走
D.crawl v.爬行;缓慢行进;巴结
句子大意为“亚洲和非洲一些国家正以喷气机式速度争取政治独立,而我们却仍为一点小事举步维艰”。原题中的creep意为“爬行,匍匐”“缓慢地行进”,与选项中的crawl词义最为接近,因此选项D正确。
