第43题【单选题】

[2007.04]Thecentraltheatrehasaseatingofmorethan3,000people.

A、capability

B、capacity

C^ability

21

D、facility

【正确答案】B

【答案解析】本题考查词义辨析。ability主要指天赋的能力或应用知识的才能，

应该是属于那种已经具备并发展较快的能力。如"Hehasunusualabilityinscience"。

capability与ability不同的是，它不仅能用于人，也可用于物,如：Electronic

refinements,however;havegreatlyextendedtheusesandcapabilitiesofsomeof

theolderelectricaldevices,capacity指容纳或吸收事物的能力,可用于人和物。

如"Thehallhasaseatingcapacityof500”。根据句意,本题应该选capacity。
