问题 Why does the author mention "pyramid builders"?
The word "devastating" in the last paragraph could be best replaced by

选项 A、frustrating.
B、damaging.
C、defeating.
D、worrying.

答案B

解析 devastate是及物动词。意思是:使荒芜;破坏。devastating既是现在分词,又是形容词。此处不是动词devastate的现在分词,因为它后面不跟名词短语。因此只能是形容词,它的意思是:破坏性的。frustrate是动词,意思是:使受挫;受挫。frustrating是现在分词,同时也是形容词。作形容词时,它的意思是:令人失望的。可以看出,它跟devastating的意思相差很远。It was frustrating to be out of government for the next four years.damage:破坏,毁灭。 damaging是它的现在分词,但它本身也是形容词,意思是:破坏的;毁灭的。跟devastating意思相近,是合适的选项。defeat:击败。His guerrillas defeated the colonial army in 1954. worry:担忧,发愁。worrying:令人担忧的,令人发愁的。It is very worrying that petrol bombs have been brought into a fight between two secondary schools.
