选项 A、dismiss
B、emit
C、distribute
D、release
答案D
解析 动词辨析题。句意同上。四个动词各有侧重点，dismiss表示“解雇，解散”，主要是针对人，例如：Theboss threatened to dismiss all the employees who had expressed their sympathy for the strike．but it’s allbluff．(老板威胁说要解雇所有同情罢工的员工，但是这不过是恐吓而已。)emit表示“发出，放射”，通常指发出气味、光、热、粒子等，例如：Do the radio waves that cell phones emit pose a threat to health?(手机发出的无线电波是否对身体健康构成了威胁?)distribute“分配，散布”，常指把东西分发给所属者或应得者，例如：The way to reduce unemployment and to live better is to distribute the available work byworking fewer hours per week．(减少失业和生活得更好的办法是依据每周更少的工作时间分配可获得的工作。)release表示“放出，放松，排放”，例如：It will absorb and release moisture and provide bothventilation and warmth．(它可以吸汗散潮，既通风又保暖。)原文中是指释放出水汽，所以[D]release为答案。
