单选题
The streams, often petty and insignificant during dry weather, become raging ______ during a storm.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】torrent:violently rushing stream 表示“激流”、“洪流”,如:The river was a torrent after the storm.暴风雨过后,河水成了激流。current意为“潮流”、“电流”,如:go with the current of the times 顺应时代的潮流;wave意为“波浪”:tide意为“潮汐”。本句意为:“晴天时又小又不起眼的小溪在暴风雨中变得洪流滚滚。”
