单选题
A ______ of sympathy swept through Japan yesterday as people heard the shocking news of Obuchi's (小渊惠三) descent into a coma. A.wave B.tide C.rush D.shower
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] 习惯用法 wave表:(情绪等的)突发,高涨;例:a wave of anger(disgust,panic,sympathy)一阵愤怒(厌恶,恐慌,同情);而本句意为:昨天当人们听到小渊惠三陷入昏迷状态的惊人消息时,一阵同情席卷了日本。因此A为答案。
