问题 The birth control measures have helped to ______ the city’s population.
选项 A、hold up
B、hold off
C、hold on
D、hold down
答案D
解析 动词短语辨析题。hold down意思是“压制，抑制”，在此句中是“抑制”的意思。 hold up意思是“举起，支撑，阻挡，拦截”，如：Most of the lower class people in big cities are simply trying to hold up under the daily stress．(大城市中大多数的低下阶级都在生活压力下尽力支撑着。)hold off意思是“不接近，拖延”，如：The board of directors will hold off making a decision until next Wednesday． (直到下周三，董事会不会做出决定。)hold on意思是“继续，不挂断”。
