What made the whole nation sad was that more than 100 miners were buried      in the underground coal mine.
A.liveB.livingC.aliveD.lively
C

试题分析:考察形容词辨析。living意为“活着”强调说明“尚在人间”,“健在”,可用来指人或物,作定语或表语。注意:living 前加上 the , 表示类别,指“活着的人们”。living 还可用于短语,例如:make a living 谋生。alive 意为“活着”,侧重说明生与死之间的界限,既可指人,也可指物;可用来作表语,后置定语或宾补。虽有死的可能,但还活着。live “活着的”,通常指物,不指人,常用来作定语放名词的前面。还指“实况转播的”。例如:a live wire 有电的电线,a live fish 一条活鱼。lively 则意为“活泼的”,“活跃”,“充满生气的”,可作定语、表语或宾补,既可指人,又可指物。本句中的be buried alive指被活埋。故C正确。
点评:本题四项是常考的近义词。要掌握好它们的基本用法及细微差别。尤其要注意特殊用法,只有live有“实况转播的”的意思。live/liv/还可作动词,意思是“居住”。
