问题 Fuel scarcities and price increases______ automobile designers to scale down the large models and to develop completely new lines of small cars and trucks.

选项 A、persuaded
B、prompted
C、imposed
D、enlightened

答案B

解析 考生对prompt这个词的形容词含义比较熟悉,但在此句中用其动词含义,意思为“促进,推动,激起”,如:be prompted by sb.’s example“受某人榜样的带动",beprompted by instinct“为本能所驱使”;persuade“劝告,说服,使相信”,persuadesb.to do sth.或persuade sb.into doing sth.;impose“把……强加给……”,接介词on或upon,如:Don’t try to impose your wishes on us.“休想把你的意志强加给我们。"impose oneself upon sb.“硬缠着某人”;enlighten“启发,启蒙,教导,使明白”,如:Can you enlighten me on this subject?“关于这个问题你能指点我一下吗?"从题句的结构上分析,impose和enlighten都不能接不定式to do sth.,句中已给出不定式to scale down作复合宾语,所以应排除impose和enlighten。从题句的语义上分析,persuade接不定式时意思是“说服某人做某事”,说服的动作一般由人发出,而题句的主语是fuel scarcities and price increases,可见虽然persuade可以接不定式,但语义上用在句中讲不通。题句意:“燃料的缺乏和价格的提高促使汽车设计家们将缩减大型车的生产规模,开发全新的小型轿车和卡车的生产线。"
