选项 A、addict
B、entrust
C、commit
D、confide

答案C

解析 固定搭配题。本句与前句之间由or连接,很明显,两句是转折关系。前句的意思是"人类可以选择等待,直到危机迫使我们采取措施";本句相反,即立即协作,开始行动。空格后出现了to working,可判断to这里是用做介词,而不是不定式标志词,所填词应能与to搭配使用。commit oneself to"致力于"符合题意与用法。addict也可与to搭配使用,addict to意为"耽溺于…,热爱…",与句意不符;en trust和confide强调对别人信任和相信,用法搭配分别为:entrust sth. to sb.,confide in sb.或confide sth. to sb.例:The task was too important to be entrusted to a child.此任务太重要而不能托付给儿童。She confided her plans to her family.她把自己的计划吐露给家人。
