选项 A.transplanted
B.recommended
C.prescribed
D.published
答案 D
解析 语义辨析题。空格所在句子指出,从亚马逊近日发布的2017年年报看,亚马逊在全球共有约56.6万名员工,较一年前的34.14万,增幅不可谓不惊人。根据空格后出现的annual report,应选[D]published,意为“发布”,its recently published annual report for2017意为“亚马逊近日发布的2017年年报”。[A]transplanted意为“移植”,和空格后的“report”不能构成搭配,故排除;[B]recommended意为“推荐”,意义上也不恰当;[C]prescribed意为“规定,开处方”,年度报告的内容是根据统计数据得出的,不是规定的,因此也不合题意
