问题 Some day software will translate both written and spoken language so well that the need for any common second language could______.

选项 A、descend
B、decline
C、despair
D、depress

答案B

解析 此题既考形近又考义近。四个选项词形上都以de一开头,但descend“下来,下降”;decline“下降,衰落/退";depress“压抑,降低”。其中descend,decline,depress汉译又都有“下降,降低”的意思。然而descei,d是指位置上从高往下降和身份的降低,如descend from the summit of the mountain“从山顶上下来"。decline常用来指数量、需求或水平上的下降,如a decline in prices/in the rate of foreign exchange/in produc一’tion“物价降低/汇率下降/生产下降”。depress指“(情绪)低落”,“(生意)不景气’’,如:Business was greatly depressed after the war.“战后商业很不景气。”He was de—pressed terribly.“他极为消沉。”despair意为“失望,绝望"。句子是说对需求的下降,显然应选decline。题句意:“将来软件既能用来作文字翻译又能作口头翻译,而且翻译得如此之好以至于对任何常用的第二语言的需求都会下降。"
