问题     The first year was very hard for the Pilgrims, and only fifty of the original one hundred passengers【C1】______. Conditions began to【C2】______in the spring of 1621. The Pilgrims planted a large crop and in the fall, they had a good harvest. Therefore, they were able to get enough fresh meat【C3】______their lack【C4】______skill or experience in hunting and fishing.

【C7】
选项 A、cost
B、paid
C、spent
D、invested
答案D
解析 考查同义动词辨析。根据上下文应是“付出了代价”。虽然cost，paid，spend都有“花费”的意思，但它们用法各异。cost：意思是“花费(时间，金钱)”、“价值(多少)”、“使付出代价”，其主语一般不能是人，不用于被动语态。pay的主语是人，常用pay for“表示付款、偿付”； spend的主语一般为人，用来表示“花金钱／时间／精力千什么／在什么方面等”但后面不用for。invest表示“投资”，与题意不符。
