Answer 1

C
试题分析：根据语境可知此题重点考查beat，defeat和win的区别。defeat和beat属一组同义词，它们的宾语必须是人或一个集体，如a team, a class, an school, an army。defeat尤指在战场上打败敌人；beat是游戏、比赛的专门用词。二者常可换。
We beat their team by 10 points. 我们赢了他们队十分。
win表示在较强的竞争中取得胜利，它常跟的宾语有game, war, prize, fame, battle等。
They won the battle but lost many men. 他们取得了这次战斗的胜利，但牺牲了很多人。因题干的宾语是game故选C。
考点：beat，defeat和win的区别
点评：三个词都有击败，战胜的意思，根据语境要弄清楚他们的宾语的不同，来选择不同的单词。
