选项 A、shrink
B、narrow
C、descend
D、reduce
答案D
解析 本题考查动词词义的辨析。填入的动词，表达Increased use of IC cards(对IC卡使用的增加)对the space needed for ticket vending(售票需要的空间)的影响。根据上文可知，IC卡的使用替代了传统的车票和定期券，因此空格所在句子的含义是：IC卡使用的增加减少了售票所占的空间。关键看四个选项哪个与space搭配，符合文意。reduce(减少，缩小)，用法较为广泛，除表示数量、大小、价格等的减少外，还可以接表抽象含义的词，原文意为：对IC卡使用的增加将会减少售票占用的空间。所以为正确选项。shrink(使事物本身缩小或萎缩)；narrow(使变狭窄，使缩小)与space搭配，指"使空间变得狭小"，有"拥挤"的含义；descend(下来，下降)均不符合文意。
