问题 We live in ______not only of unpleasant insects like spiders or wasps, but of quite harmless ones like moths.
选项 A、horror
B、fear
C、alarm
D、dread
答案D
解析 近义词辨析。horror意为“恐怖，战栗”，指令人恐惧到毛骨悚然的程度，往往含有憎恶之感，作可数名词时，亦可表示引起恐怖的事物，多用复数形式，如：strike horror into sb．(使某人毛骨悚然)；fear意为“恐惧，害怕”，指由于危险、失败或灾祸等临近而引起的恐惧心情，如：He was shaking with fear．(他害怕得直发抖。)alarm意为“惊恐，惊慌”，指由于危险突然出现而产生恐惧，含有惊惶失措的意思，如：After hearing the gunshot we were all in a state of alarm．(听到枪声，我们都非常惊慌。)dread 意为“惧怕，恐惧”，指由于预知将来临的危险而产生的极度恐惧，这种恐惧往往并非一时的，常与of连用，如：They live in dread of the house catching fire．(由于害怕房子着火，他们总是提心吊胆地过日子。)句中指恐惧长期存在，并且后面介词为 of，所以应选D)。
