The word “plummeting” (Para. 2) is closest in meaning to ______.
试题来源:2018年考研《英语二》真题及答案解析
试题解析:
答案:C
解析:
答案:[C] falling
解析:这是一道词义句意题,要想知道plummeting 的意思,首先要回到原文找线索,即plummeting所在的句子以及上下句。由原文可知,plummeting所在句子是在说现在例如风能和太阳能这样的可再生资源的价格的问题,plummeting是修饰可再生资源的价格的,接着第二段最后一句就用了具体数字来证明可再生资源的成本在下降,如太阳能成本下降了百分之八十,风能也降到三分之一。由此可知,可再生资源的成本在下降,plummeting的含义是下降的意思。所以选择C falling。
