问题 Ever since Geoffrey sent a sizeable cheque to a well-known charity he’s been ______ with requests for money from all sides.

选项 A、devastated
B、smashed
C、bombarded
D、cracked

答案C

解析 句子大意为“自从Geoffrey给一个著名的慈善机构寄去了一张数额较大的支票后,四面八方都向他索要金钱”。四个选项都多少带有“被打倒、击溃”的意思,但是只有bombarded用在这里。含有一种比喻,即“被索要金钱的要求所包围”。bombard经常用于bombard someone with something,表示“对某人询问或给予信息过多”的意思。如:The speaker was bombarded with questions after the speech. (演讲之后,听众给演讲人提了很多问题;)Today we are bombarded with advice on what to eat and what to avoid. (今天我们被该吃什么和不该吃什么这样的建议所包围。)
