(单选题)
After living for years in a big city, they found it difficult to settle ______ in a town。
A.for
B.at
C.up
D.down
参考答案:D
参考解析:
考查动词短语辨析。句意:在大城市生活了数年之后,他们发现很难在小镇上定居下来。settle for意为“满足于”,后接名词,故排除A;settle at a town意为“定居在小镇”,但题目中已经有介词in,故排除B;settle up意为“付清,了解”,不符合句意,故排除C;settle down意为“定居”,后接地点状语。故选D。
