A. unfinished B. broken
C. bent D. unusual
分析:原文中与crooked相关的信息为 "…didn't get all lines straight.",所以可以推测crooked意为not straight,所以答案为C.
例二:Growth, reproduction and daily metabolism all require an organism to expend energy. The expenditure of energy is essentially a process of budgeting, just as finances are budgeted. If all of one's energy is spend on clothes, there may be none left to buy food or go to the movies. Similarly, a plant or animal cannot squander all its energy on growing a big body if none would be left over for reproduction, fir this is the surest way to extinction. (托福Official Guide)
The word squander in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. extend B. transform C. activate D. waste
分析:通过similarly可以判断上下例子为类比关系,即性质同样的例子。所以,上句话中同样位置的表达与squander应是同义词,即all of…is spend on…,因此判断答案为D.
