问题 In the airport, I could hear nothing except the roar of aircraft engines which ______ all other sounds.
选项 A、dwarfed
B、diminished
C、drowned
D、devastated
答案C
解析 本题四个选项在拼写上较接近，但词义不同。dwarf常用意思为to cause to appear small by comparison，即“使相形见绌”，如：The new tall building dwarfs all the little shops．(新建的高楼使所有那些小商店相形见绌。)diminish的意思是cause to become or seem smaller，即“减少，缩小”，如： His illness diminished his strength．(他的疾病使他身体变弱了。)drown的意思是to cover up a sound by making a loud noise，即“(噪音)掩盖”，如：The noise of the train drowned his voice．(火车的噪音淹没了他的声音。)devastate的意思是to destroy completely，即“毁灭，破坏”，如：Their houses were devastated in the flood．(他们的房子在洪水中被毁了。)相比之下，drowned应该是正确答案。
