单选题 The story was said to have been based on the information from a reliable ________.
  • A. source
  • B. foundation
  • C. origin
  • D. basis


【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】本题考查名词辨析。source“来源,水源,消息来源,原始资料”;foundation“基础,根本”;origin“由来,起因,出身”;basis“基础,基本,根据”。本句指信息(information)的来源,因此用source。句意为:据说这个故事建立在可靠消息来源的基础上。
