问题 The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14,1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. (190 words)

选项 4、What does the underlined word “abolished” mean?
A. Put off
B. Established
C. United
D. Ended

答案D

解析这是一道词义推测题,我们通常需要根据上下文的线索来猜测词义。就本题而言,划线词所在句子的大意是“1792年9月,君主制被怎么样了。”这篇文章是按照时间顺序进行叙述的,所以我们需要了解在1792年9月之前发生了什么,我们细读这几句话“Louis tried to flee the country in 1792, to get the support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished.”(1792年国王路易十四试图逃跑以期得到奥地利和匈牙利的支持,但是他还是被捕入狱)。随后在这句话后面出现句子“In the same year, Louis was executed.”(同年,路易十四被处决)。因此我们可以推断一个国家国王逃跑,后又被处决,那么这个国家的政权制度肯定就被废除了,所以我们确定答案D。这里选项A短语 put off的意思是“推迟、推延”。选项B的意思是“建立、设立”;选项C的意思是“联合,团结”。
