问题 In terms of economics, when business is _______ there is usually an increase in unemployment.

选项 A、depressed
B、receded
C、degraded
D、declined

答案A

解析 动词辨义。recede意为“退回,缩进”,为不及物动词,如:The mountain peaks recede into the distance as one leaves the shore.(人离岸时,山峰向后退去。)degrade意为“降级,(使)退化”,如:Charity de grades those who receive it and hardens those who distribute it.(施舍使接受它的人蒙羞,从而使发放它的人变得冷酷无情。)decline意为“下降”时,也是不及物动词,因此decrease和decline不能用于被动语态,如:His strength is declining. (他的体力日渐衰弱。)depress意为“衰退,萧条”,如:Economists feared that rising infla tion would further depress the economy.(经济学家们担心不断上升的通货膨胀会进一步削弱经济。)当表达经济萧条时,通常用depress。
