A、gave incentives to
B、caused losses to
C、took advantage of
D、kept track of
【正确答案】:B
【名师解析】:选项B "caused losses to" 是正确的答案。在这个句子中,短语 "took its toll on" 意味着对某事物产生了负面影响或造成了损失。根据题目内容,报告对 "Chinese tire-makers" 产生了负面影响,即造成了损失。而选项A "gave incentives to" 意味着给予激励或奖励,选项C "took advantage of" 意味着利用某事物,选项D "kept track of" 意味着追踪或记录,这些选项都不符合句子的语境。因此,选项B "caused losses to" 最准确地反映了报告对 "Chinese tire-makers" 的影响。
