单选题

【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[注释] 词义搭配。entire与whole在许多情况下可以通用。例如:The people's government has the support of the entire(=whole)population.(人民政府得到全民的支持。)但是,entire可以修饰抽象名词,whole有时就不能。例如:I am in entire ignorance of what he did.(我全然不知他做了些什么。)total与entire不同,total有较强的数量计算意味。例如:The total sum of the expenditure is twelve dollars and fifty-seven cents.(开支总数是12美元57美分。)complete完全的,不缺乏什么的。例如;Now that the missing volume has been found,the series is complete.(丢的那卷找到了,因此这部书又完整了。)complex联合的,复合的。,例如:a complex system/network。
