单选题

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】如果选用step,后面好像应该使用介词toward或者on the way to success。如果选用sign,不太符合事实,因为这里已经是有进步,而不仅仅是迹象!至于单词achievement,好像不会因为有了一点点进步改善,就说取得重大的成功。所以,这里是用measure:A definite quantity that has been measured out固定量;已知量已经测出的确定的量:“a measure of wine”定量的酒。当然measure还有很多其他的用法。请看measure的一些用法:如:(1)a limited amount or degree限度,分寸:“a measure of good-will”有分寸的善意;(2)limit;bounds限度,界限:“generosity knowing no measure”无限的慷慨;(3)a fitting amount适度:“a measure of recognition”适度的认可;(4)an evaluation or a basis of comparison标准,尺度比较的估价或基础:“the final measure of the worth of a society”“社会财富的最终估价尺度”;(5)extent or degree范围,程度:“The problem was in large measure caused by his carelessness.”这个问题在很大程度上是由他的粗心造成的。
