A

B
protect
C
love
答案解析
正确答案:A
解析:
这是一道典型的完形填空语境理解题。虽然题目只给出了第4空的选项(A. destroy, B. protect, C. love),但我们需要结合上下文逻辑来进行解析。
**正确答案:A. destroy**
### 解析过程:
1. **定位关键句**:
我们需要关注 Noah Rose 说的话:“It will just add to pollution and ____4____ some beautiful countryside.”
(译文:这只会增加污染,并且____一些美丽的乡村景色。)
2. 分析语境逻辑:
* **主体态度**:Noah Rose 是一位抗议者(protester),他住在树屋里是为了反对当地议会计划修建的新公路。因此,他对修路这一行为持**负面**态度。
* **并列结构**:句中使用了 `and` 连接两个动词短语。前一个短语是 `add to pollution`(增加污染),这是一个明显的负面后果。根据并列关系的逻辑一致性,横线处的动词也应该是一个具有**负面含义**的动作,且该动作的对象是 `some beautiful countryside`(一些美丽的乡村)。
3. **辨析选项**:
* **A. destroy (破坏/毁坏)**:修路通常会占用土地、砍伐树木或改变地貌,从而“破坏”自然景观。这与抗议者的观点一致,也与前面的“增加污染”在情感色彩上保持一致(都是坏事)。
* **B. protect (保护)**:如果修路能“保护”乡村,那么 Noah 就不会抗议了。这与上下文逻辑矛盾。
* **C. love (喜爱)**:道路本身没有情感,不能“喜爱”乡村;且即使拟人化,这也无法构成抗议的理由。逻辑不通。
### 结论:
只有 **destroy** 符合抗议者认为修路会对环境造成负面影响的逻辑。
**完整句意:**
“It will just add to pollution and **destroy** some beautiful countryside.”
(这只会增加污染,并**破坏**一些美丽的乡村景色。)
