选项 A、damaging
B、spoiling
C、decaying
D、destroying

答案B

解析 词汇题。词义辨析题。spoil“损坏,糟蹋”,指降低了原有的质量或把事情搞砸等,如:He spoiled the soup with too much salt.他放了太多的盐,把汤给弄糟了。本句选spoiling,表降低了空气的品质,污染了空气,正合题意,因此,为正确答案。而dam-age和destroy都含“破坏”、“毁坏”的意思。damage指价值、用途降低或外表损坏等,不一定全部破坏,损坏了还可以修复,如:The heavy rain damaged many houses.大雨毁坏了许多房子。destroy指彻底毁坏以至不能或很难修复,如:That town was destroyed in a big fire.那个城镇在一场大火中被毁灭了。显然,这两个词都不能修饰空气。decay“衰亡,毁坏,腐烂”,表从完好健全的状态变坏,但还未达到彻底毁灭的状态,如:The civilization has begun to decay ever since.这种文明从此开始衰落。空气不能说衰落,因此也不能选此选项。
