问题 Many once prosperous northern mill towns have ______ as industry has moved to the South.
选项 A、condensed
B、shrunk
C、reduced

答案B
解析 近义词辨析。condense意为“凝结，浓缩”，多指某物由气体变成液体或固体的物态变化，如： Moisture in the atmosphere condensed into dew during the night．(夜间空气中的湿气凝结成露珠。)shrink 意为“缩水，皱缩，缩短”，指在一定条件下，引起长度、尺寸、体积、规模或范围的减小或收缩，如：Wool shrinks in washing．(羊毛洗时会缩水。)reduce；意为“减少，缩小”，可指尺寸、数量、程度、强度、可能性等的减少，常指人为地减少、降低，如：The fire reduced the forest to a few trees．(大火把森林烧得仪剩下几棵树。)contract意为“收缩”，多指物质的遇冷收缩，也可指语句等的缩短，但不能指词的缩短，如：Metal contracts as it cools． (金属遇冷收缩。)
