The sentence "… steeped in years of dealing with terrorism" in the 8th paragraph means that
A．London has been engaged in anti-terrorism for years.
B．London hasn’t witnessed terrorism for years.
C．London has been targeted by terrorists for years.
D．London has been soaked in terrorist attacks for years.
参考答案
正确答案：A
解析：解答本题的关键在于理解题干中steep一词的意义。steep作形容词表示“陡峭的”，作动词表示“浸泡，沉浸”。在此处，上述词义显然不合乎上下文。下文提到伦敦的紧急救援人员和市民都似乎早有准备，反应迅速，组织得当，可见所有这些与伦敦多年致力于反恐密不可分，因此steeped in在此应当是“致力于，专注于”的意思，因此选A。
