(2006年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语试题-Section I Use of English)
Not everyone agrees on the number of Americans who are homeless. Estimates
___anywhere from 600,000 to 3 million.
[A] cover [B] change [C] range [D] differ
重点解析:
题干的意思是:不是每个人都认同美国流浪汉的数量,估计数字...60万到3百
万之间。estimate是之前学习过的词,表示估计,估算。注意介词from是一个提示词,可
以推测空格处所缺单词是能够和from搭配使用的。
接下来逐个分析选项:
A.cover覆盖,包括 B.change改变,变化 Change指的是一种无规律的变化,并不涉及在范围内变化的含义。 C.range在某个范围/区域中变化 D. differ不同,跟...不一样
四个选项中,能跟from搭配的有range和differ。但是differ from的意思是与...不同,不符合句意。所以满足条件的只有C。 range from A to B,指在A到B这个区下间内变化。
参考答案:C
