选项
A、fade
B、diminish
C、lessen
D、dwell
答案
A
解析
原始的记忆会衰退,所以选fade"衰退、衰减",如:His hopes/memories faded."他的希望破灭了/记忆衰退了";diminish意为"缩小、减少",如:the government’s diminishing popularity"政府日益不得人心";lessen意为"减少、减轻";dwell意为"居住"。与fade近义的还有两个很重要的词汇vanish与disappear, vanish指突然地、完全地、有时是神秘地消失不见或不再存在:The mark vanished overnight。disappear指突然地或逐渐地消失不见或不再存在:The ship disappeared at last。fade指徐徐地消失,最后完全看不见:His figure faded into the mist。
