I had planned to invite Tom to the party to increase the atmosphere, but it turned out that his arrival ____ the atmosphere.| A．damaged | B．harmed | C．destroyed | D．spoiled |

答案
| D |
解析
试题分析：原句意思是，为了增加气氛，我打算邀请汤姆来参加聚会，没想到事实证明，他的到来反而破坏了气氛。damage 毁坏 harm 伤害destroy消灭 spoil 破坏，A和D都有破坏的意思，其中damage一词通常指那种使价值降低，有用性和有效性减少的损害，表达的语气比较严重；而spoil是损坏和彻底摧毁价值、优点和力量，表示无可挽回的损坏，语气较轻。本题要表达“破坏了气氛”，不是委严重的事情，所以选D。
