选项
A、contrive
B、convince
C、convert
D、convict
答案
B
解析
此题属于形近词辨析题。convince sb. to do/of sth.表示"劝服某人",根据句意:教练们先是确认有发展前途的高中生后,就会到其所在学校说服这些全国最优秀的运动员,故选项convince正确。选项contrive表示"图谋,设法",如:contrive a way of escaping;选项convert表示:使改变(形式、形状等),常与介词into/to/for等连用;选项convict声示"判某人有罪",如:The criminal was convicted of murder.全句可译为:大学的教练们确认了有发展前途的高中生后,就会到其所在高中说服这些全国最优秀的运动员上他们所在的大学。
