But if you build a toy house with a【C8】______of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall. An earthquake in Agadir, Morocco, was not strong enough to【C9】______on distant instruments, but it completely destroyed the city. Many stronger earthquakes have done comparatively【C10】______damage. If a building is well【C11】______and built on solid ground, it will【C12】______an earthquake. Most【C13】______in earthquakes have been【C14】______faulty building construction or poor building sites.

选项
A、change
B、alter
C、differ
D、vary
答案
D
解析
词义辨析题change,alter,vary都含“改变”的意思。change指“使改变得与原物完全不同”或“使发生以新代旧的变化”,如:The appearance of the town is quitechanged.这个城镇的外观变化颇大。alter指“局部的、外表的变化,但特点不变”,如:This coat should be altered.这件外套应该改改。vary指“不规则或连续地改变”,如:Customs vary with the times.习俗随时代而异。differ(from sb./sth.)“(与某人f某事物])不同,不一样,有区别”。此处讲的是每年地震的平均数量,是指连续性的波动,故选D。
