单选题 At first Jackie prayed, frozen in fear, but gradually his terror ______ curiosity.
A. put up with B. lived up to C. did away with D. gave way to

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 本题空格处是说他的恐惧逐渐转为好奇。D项gave way to“让路，让步”符合题意。如：As day gives way slowly to night．(白天渐渐转为黑夜)。其他三项put up with“忍受，容忍”；lived up to“实践，做到”；did away with“废除，弄死”都不正确。
