Also, the Dutch, English, Spanish, and French were beginning to【C2】______global empires.【C3】______and trade produced a【C4】______merchant class that helped to【C5】______an increasing desire for such【C6】______as wine, coffee, tea, cocoa, and tobacco.

The Industrial Revolution【C11】______in England, because that nation had the technological means, government encouragement, and a large and varied trade【C12】______. The first factories【C13】______in 1740, concentrating on【C14】______production.

选项
A、developed
B、exploited
C、loomed
D、completed
答案
A
解析
选项A表示“发展”。本题考查词义辨析。根据文章意思:“Dutch,English,Spanish以及French正开始发展全球帝国。”而develop指“事物在一段时期内‘成长、发育、发展’,朝成熟、扩大、提高的方向前进,可以是自然界中的生长发育过程,也可以是人类社会中的发展、进步过程”,其可表示时间上的“发展”,符合原文意思。而选项B“exploit开拓,开发”,选项C“loom在织机上织;隐约地出现;赫然耸现;(战争、威胁等)阴森地逼近”,选项D“complete表示积极、圆满地完成了所要做的一切事情,侧重于赋予成品以完整性,宾语往往为建筑、工程、书籍、学业等,常用于被动语态;该词还可表达‘使……完备(完美、完善)’的含义”均不符合题意。
