单选题
[2007.04]The central theatre has a seating ________ of more than 3，000 people.
A.capability
B.capacity
C.ability
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“He has unusual ability in science”。capability与ability不同的是，它不仅能用于人，也可用于物，如：Electronic refinements， however， have greatly extended the uses and capabilities of some of the older electrical devices.capacity指容纳或吸收事物的能力，可用于人和物。如“The hall has a seating capacity of 500”。根据句意，本题应该选capacity。
