(单选题)

It was ten years ago that Mary saw Rachel last time, but Mary ______ her at once when she met Rachel at airport.

A.identified

B.distinguished

C.spied

D.recognized

参考答案：D

参考解析：

考查动词辨析。句意：玛丽最后一次见瑞秋是十年前，但玛丽在机场遇到瑞秋时，立刻认出了她。identified意为“确认，认出”，to be able to say who or what sb/sth is，如：She was able to identify her attacker.（她认出了袭击她的人）；distinguished意为“辨认，区别”；spied意为“当间谍，暗中监视”；recognized意为“承认，认出”，to know who sb is or what sth is when you see or hear them/it, because you have seen or heard them/it before。根据句意可知，此处recognize符合题意。故选D。
