选项
A、swiftly
B、promptly
C、immediately
D、quickly
答案
D
解析
此题属于近义词辨析题。四个词都表示"立刻地",但着重点不同。选项swiftly强调行为发生的敏捷性,例如:They denied the accusation swiftly.(他们很快否认那桩起诉)。选项promptly和选项immediately都含有without delay的意义,例如:I’ll deliver your purchases promptly.(我会立刻送你买的货)。又如:I came immediately after I had had dinner.选项quickly意为after only a very soon time,例如:I realized fairly quickly that I was wrong.全句可译为:北方人一般很亲切、好客,外国人经常发现自己能很快和他们交上朋友。
