中单选题【2017年真题】Desiring to______his talking friends, Mark gave them candies to keep their mouths shut.
A.terrify
B.offend
C.reward
D.silence
参考答案:D
答案解析:(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。
