【单选题】"Our life is ______ away by detail. Simplify, simplify. " That dictum of HenryDavid Thoreau's, echoing from the days of steamboats and ox-drawn plows, had long haunted me.
A．frittered
B．quenched
C．reproached
D．scouted
网考网参考答案：A
网考网解析：
[解析] 本题空格处是说我们的生命被琐碎的事情所消耗。短语fritter away的意思是“浪费，慢慢消耗”，因此A项为正确答案。其他三项“B项quenched结束，熄灭；C项reproached责备；D项scouted侦察，监视”都不正确。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
