Question

【题目】Jeff’s business was originally in size, but in the last few years he has expanded it by opening scores of chain stores across America.

A. desperate B. concrete

C. modest D. absolute

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】考查形容词辨析。句意：杰夫的生意原本规模不大，但在过去的几年里，他通过在美国各地开设连锁店来扩大业务。A. desperate孤注一掷的；B. concrete具体的，有形的；实在的，实际的；C. modest谨慎的，谦虚的，适度的，适中的；不大的；D. absolute绝对的。根据后面but in the last few years he has expanded it by opening scores of chain stores across America.可知，前面与此相反，是说规模不大，故选C。
