单选题 The Monk Theater is one of the few theaters from the 18th century that have been ______ in its original form.
A. conserved
B. reserved
C. deserved
D. preserved

【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】这是一道考查动词词义的题目,我们应该弄清楚词与词之间的搭配。从句子结构来看,是“The Monk Theater…have been______(Monk剧场被______)”。选项中与“theater”最搭配的动词是(D)。所以你只要掌握“preserve the theater(剧场保存下来)”就OK了。(A)“conserve”表示“保存(资源、体力、食物等)”。虽然这两个词都表示“保存”的意思,但是与它们搭配的词语是不同的。
