(2013·高考湖北卷)He didn’t selfishly keep for himself the money inherited from his uncle.Instead，he made a________contribution to help the community. A．commercial B．generous C．comparable D．profitable

Answer 1

B

选B。句意：他没有自私地把从叔叔那里继承的钱自己留着，而慷慨捐赠出去以帮助社区。commercial“商业的，商务的”；generous“慷慨的，大方的”；comparable“类似的；比得上的”；profitable“有利可图的”。根据关键词instead可知，前后语意相反，make a contribution表示“捐献”，因此B项“慷慨的，大方的”符合语境。
