【2007.04]Thecentraltheatrehasaseatingofmorethan3,000people.

A、capability

B、capacity

C、ability

D、facility

【正確答案】B

【答案解析】本題考查詞義辨析、ability主要指天賦的能力或應用知識的才能，

應該是屬于那種已經(jīng)具備并發(fā)展較快的能力。如"Hehasunusualabilityinscience"。

capability與ability不同的是，它不僅能用于人,也可用于物,如:Electronic

refinements,however;havegreatlyextendedtheusesandcapabilitiesofsomeof

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

如"Thehallhasaseatingcapacityof500”。根據(jù)句意,本題應該選capacity。
