D.reviving

参考答案:B进入在线模考
【译文】吉米靠为博物馆修复艺术品为生。
【解析】动词含义。Restore“恢复”,指“使某物回到其原来的状态”,如:restore a building(修复建筑物)。recover“(身体)复原,重新获得”,如:The patient had fully recovered when he was discharged from hospital.(病人出院时已经痊愈。)也可表示“弥补,补偿”,如:recover one’s losses(挽回某人的损失).在此不合题意。renew“使……更新”和revive“使……恢复生机”都不符合题意。
