问题 South Africa’ s economy displayed some ______ signs of growth, but worldwide sanctions were slowing any widespread recovery.

选项 A、modest
B、generous
C、medieval
D、genetic

答案A

解析 形容词辨义。modest原意为“谦逊的,谦虚的”,引申为“不大的,不多的,合适的,适度的”之意,如:That movie star has a quite modest background.(那位影星没有显赫的背景。)generous意为“慷慨的”,如:The young heiress was so generous that she gave all her money away in a couple of years.(年轻的女继承人过于大方,以致不到几年工夫就把钱都花光了。)medieval意为“中世纪的,中古时代的,落后的”,如:parents with a medieval attitude toward dating(父母对于约会的守旧态度);genetic意为“遗传的”,如:a genetic disorder(基因失凋)。这里用modest表示经济适度的增长。
