    In a plan called "Station Renaissance" that it 【B3】______ in November, JR East said that it would 【B4】______ using its commercial spaces for shops and restaurants, extending them to 【B5】______ more suitable for the information age. It wants train stations as pick-up 【B6】______ for such goods as books, flowers and groceries 【B7】______ over the Internet.

【B20】
选项 A、reduce
B、narrow
C、dwarf
D、shrink
答案A
解析 本题考查动词词义的辨析。填入的动词，表达Increased use of IC cards(对IC卡使用的增加)对the space needed for ticket vending(售票需要的空间)的影响。根据上文可知道，IC卡的使用替代了传统的车票和定期券，因此空格所在句子的含义是：IC卡使用的增加减少了售票所占的空间。关键看四个选项哪个与space搭配，符合文意。A项reduce“减少，缩小”，用法较为广泛，除表示数量、大小、价格等的减少外，还可以接表抽象含义的词，如reduce the risk of detection(减少被发现的危险)，原文意为：对IC卡使用的增加将会减少售票占用的空间。B项narrow“使变狭窄，使缩小”与space搭配，指“使空间变得狭小”，有“拥挤”的含义；C项dwarf指“(通过与大的事物比较)使显得小”，而实际大小没有改变；D项shrink意为“使事物本身缩小或萎缩”，均不符合文意。
