职称英语考试

【单选题】 Not all member states abided by the principle they had agreed on previously.
A．adhered to
B．abandoned
C．applied
D．adopted

网考网参考答案：A
网考网解析：
本句的意思是“并非所有的成员国都遵循他们先前达成一致的原则。”abide by是个短语，意为“服从，遵守”，adhere to也是一个固定的短语，和stick to同义。abide by常见的搭配还有abide by the rule/the law/decision，如：The players all abided by the referee's decision although it was not really fair．其余的三个选项apply(应用)，abandon(抛弃)，adopt(采纳)均可以和principle搭配，但词义和abide by不符。 查看试题解析出处>>
