单选题
【C1】
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】解析:词组be prone to(do)sth.为固定搭配,其含义是“有……的倾向,易于……”。如:This part of the road is prone to accidents.这段道路容易出事故。
【答案解析】解析:本句意为:“因跨越时区而导致的不适症状通常会持续数天”。D项symptoms意为“症状”,最符合原文。首先,这种不适并不属于疾病的范畴,因此C项可以排除。A项signs意为“标志;迹象,征兆”。例如:There are no signs of life about the house.这所房子没有住人的迹象。B项defects通常指事物“固有的、先天的缺陷”。
