一道英语选择,请说明理由
Another issue is urban sprawl.This is where cities ______ quickly into rural areas,sometimes at a much faster rate than urban population growth.
[A] expand [B] split [C] invade [D] enlarge
感觉这句话的逻辑有问题
答
这句话没问题.
选A,expand
Another issue is urban sprawl.This is where cities expand quickly into rural areas,sometimes at a much faster rate than urban population growth.
另一个问题是城市扩张.这是城市迅速扩展到临近的乡间,有时甚至以比城市的人口增长更快的速度.expand into的意思是扩大成。。。而这题想表达的意思是扩大到。。。。那不是应该用expand to吗expand into，是说，城市扩张进入了周边的乡间。这里 into，没有问题。看一下英文解释吧：expand into something：to grow into something; to enlarge into something.按照这个解释，那enlarge也可以用了一定程度上是的。不过个人认为 enlarge 不合适。象城市扩张，expand就正好，大家都这么说。
