问题 Thousands perished, but the Japanese wished to ______ the extent of the cruel acts committed by their soldiers.

选项 A、live up to
B、mark down
C、size up
D、play down

答案D

解析 考动词词组的含义。本句是转折关系。live up to是“实行;达到…(的期望)”;mark down是“记下,削减……的价目”;size up是“估计;作出一种看法或判断”。根据句子的转折关系,选择play down。句子大意是:成千上万的人毁灭掉了,而日本人却想降低他们的士兵所犯暴行的程度。
