英语题，求详细辨析

Question

the rare animals would _____ if men were allowed to shoot as many as they wished
A die out B die off C die down D die away
die off 有“相继死亡；绝种 ”的意思，我感觉带进去也对
die down “逐渐消失”
die away “消逝”
感觉带进去都对，可答案选A

Answer 1

1die out: To cease living completely; become extinct: tribes and tribal customs that died out centuries ago.
看词义可知，die out 指 完全不再生存下去-就是“灭绝”的意思：“部落及其习俗在数百年前就消亡了。”

2.die off:
To undergo a sudden, sharp decline in population: Rabbits were dying off in that county.
看词义可知，die off 是指 人口数量骤然下降：“那国的兔子正在减少。”

3.die down:
To lose strength; subside: The winds died down.
看词义可知，die down是力量的削减：“风力减弱了。”

4.die away :
become less in amount or intensity; "The storm abated".
看词义可知，die away 是数量和强度的减少: “风暴减弱了” 和3类似。

所以应该选A。我教你个记忆的方法，die out表“灭绝”，die off 表“正在灭绝”，虽然这个不是很准确，但你这样记忆做题就没问题了。

Answer 2

die out (指物种、家族、习惯、观念等)绝迹, 消失
die off (一组生命体)一个接一个地死去直到死光
die down 变得越来越弱直到消失
die away(尤指声音、光、风)逐渐消失, 停止
