问题 In previous times, when fresh meat was in short________, pigeons were kept by many households as a source of food.
选项 A、store
B、provision
C、reserve
D、supply
答案D
解析 本题考查介词短语。根据pigeons(鸽子)和a source of food(一种食物)可知，人们将鸽子作为一种食物，即其它肉类不足。由此可知，空格处所填词应表示“缺乏，不足”的含义。选项中，in supply意为“供应”，in short supply意为“供应短缺”，符合语义，故D项为答案。in store意为“准备着，将要发生”；provision意为“供应，准备”，常与for搭配；in reserve意为“留出备用的”。
