Answer 1

【答案】D

【解析】

句意：上個(gè)月亞馬遜雨林發(fā)生大火，并迅速蔓延了三個(gè)星期。許多動(dòng)物和土著居民失去了家園。

考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)和動(dòng)詞辨析。break down：出故障，壞了；break up：分裂，破碎，分手；break off：折斷，斷開(kāi)，突然中止；break out：突然爆發(fā)，break的過(guò)去式是broke。went：去，走，go的過(guò)去式；sped：加速，speed的過(guò)去式；developed：成長(zhǎng)，發(fā)展，develop的過(guò)去式；spread：蔓延，擴(kuò)散，散開(kāi)，傳播，過(guò)去式也是spread。根據(jù)句意可知選D。
