语法与词汇10.The city council is planning a huge road-building program to ease congestion. The underlined part means______. (2015-71)
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】ease指“减轻(痛苦、忧虑等)，缓解”，和“relieve”同义。如：These pills should ease the pain．这些药丸能缓解疼痛。calm指“使平静，使安静，使镇静”；comfort意为“安慰某人”；still用作动词，表示“使平静，使静止”，如：still a crying child使哭闹的孩子平静下来。
