(单选题)
The meaning of the underlined word “mature” in the passage is “_______”.
A.wake up
B.give up
C.grow up
D.bring up
参考答案:C
参考解析:
词义猜测题。通过mature定位在文章的第二段第五、六句“His father died when he was only twenty. His father’s death forced him to mature fast.”他父亲的去世属于磨难,肯定是起到了迫使他“成长、长大”的作用,所以C项正确;wake up意为“醒来”;give up意为“放弃”;bring up意为“养育”均不符合句意。故选C。
