25、。decrease下降，符合句意。benefit获益；damage损伤；measure测量。2C本题为强调句式，第二个空必须用who或that引导从句，因此可排除A项和D项；rather than意为“而不是”。此处强调的是Truman，故谓语动词应为单数，因此选C项。3D考查动词词组辨析。give in投降，让步；give away分发，散发；泄露；give up放弃；give off发出(光、热、气味等)。根据句意可知选D项。4Arespond to是固定搭配，表示“对作出回应”。5C考查固定短语辨析。in case以防万一。故C项正确。6B句意为：我一直在纳闷为何电梯突然失灵了。oper
