【B7】

选项 A、pursue
B、persecute
C、proceed
D、prosecute

答案D

解析 本题考查动词词义辨析。大型的犯罪活动需要很多年才被发现,对它们进行7 也是非常困难和昂贵的,该选项应该与crime构成动宾搭配,而且要符合逻辑。首先排除[B]persecute“迫害”,因为persecute常以人或者动物为宾语;然后排除[C]proceed,因为proceed(继续下去)是不及物动词,不能独自与crime构成正确的语法结构;而对犯罪案件,人们不仅要追逐,而且还要提起公诉,所以排除[A]pursue“追逐”,选择[D]prosecute“对……提起公诉”。
