问题 They’ve ______ the prices in the shop, so it’s a good time to buy.

选项 A、decreased
B、reduced
C、lessened
D、relieved

答案B

解析 近义词辨析。decrease意为“减少,降低”,一般用语,指逐渐地、不断地减少,着眼于逐渐的过程,如:His temperature decreases.(他的烧退了。)reduce意为“降低,减少”,可指尺寸、数量、程度、强度、可能性等的减少,通常用作及物动词,如:The fire reduced the forest to a few trees.(大火把森林烧得仅剩下几颗树。)lessen意为“减少,减轻,缩小”,指强度或严重程度的降低或减少,也有从整体中去掉一部分的含义,如:The medicine begins to take effect and symptoms lessen.(药物开始起效,症状减轻了。)relieve意为“减轻,缓解”,可指肉体上的疼痛等症状的减轻、缓解;也可指精神上痛苦、忧愁的解除,如:a drug that relieves headaches(缓解头痛的药)。
