问题 What is the passage mainly talking about?
The word "afflict" in the third sentence of the first paragraph most probably means "______".

选项 A、benefit
B、cause suffering to
C、teach
D、draw attention from

答案B

解析 词义推测题。由该词宾语society的后置定语already short on...and optimism可以看出,afflict应当是一种否定性含义,含有让本已不好的状况进一步恶化的意思。四个选项中只有[B]是否定义。 afflict指“使染上重病,折磨”。
