Complete the following sentence with a (compound) word derived from the one given in bracket.
So many people exhaust their health gaining wealth, and then have to spend their wealth to( )their health. (gain)
【正确答案】:REGAIN
【题目解析】:
本题考查常见动词的衍生动词。
分析语境,太多的人消耗自己的健康来获取财富,然后他们又不得不花费金钱来...健康。由不定式标志to可知,空缺处应填动词原形,而前句已出现gain,那么此处含义应为“重新获得、恢复”,gain作动词意为“获得”,加上前缀re-变成regain意为“恢复”,符合题意。
句意:太多的人消耗自己的健康来获取财富,然后他们又不得不花费金钱来恢复健康。
