It was on its【C1】______back to Britain with ninety-one boxes of Russian gold.【C2】______thirty-nine years it lay there, too deep for divers to【C3】______. No one was allowed to explode it, either, since the bodies of sixty of the crew also lay in the【C4】______. Then, in 1981, an ex-diver called Jessop decided to try using new diving techniques. 【C5】______he could not afford to finance the【C6】______which was going to cost four million pounds, he had to look for people who were【C7】______to take the risk.【C8】______, they were not even sure the gold was going to be there! First a Scottish diving company, then a German shipping company agreed to join in the retrieval【C9】______Not long after that, Jessop【C10】______a fourth company to take a【C11】______. Since the gold was the【C12】______of the British and the Soviet governments, they both hoped to make a【C13】______, too! The biggest problem was how to get【C14】______the gold. Fortunately, they were able to examine the Edinburgh’s sister ship, the HMS Belfast, to【C15】______out the exact location of the bomb room,【C16】______the gold was stored.

选项
A、business
B、estate
C、obligation
D、property
答案
D
解析
business生意,事务;estate地产,财产;obligation义务,责任;property财产,资产。根据句意可知,此处要表达的是这些黄金是英国和苏联的财产。从四个选项的词义可排除A,C两项。estate和property都有财产的意思。但property侧重于指金钱上的财产,如:Some of the stolen property was found in Mason’s house.(在梅森的房子里找到了一些被盗的财物。)而estate侧重于指地产,如:He owns a large estate in Scotland.(他在苏格兰有大量地产。)根据上下文可知property较为合适,故选D。
