【分析】
做词义猜测题时，需结合上下文语境推断生词含义。本题中，前文提到银行新经理第一天就比预想的更忙，后文列举了老板给他安排的多项额外任务（创建安全系统、管理存退款等），由此可推断划线词“inundate”的含义是“给某人过多任务，使负担过重”，对应选项A。
【解析】
根据原文语境，新经理工作繁忙，老板为其安排了大量额外工作，因此“inundate”在此处意为“使负担过重”。选项A“Overload”（使负担过重）符合词义；选项B“Provide”（提供）、D“Offer”（提供）均不符合“过多任务”的语境；选项C“Underwhelm”（使感到失望）与语境无关，故正确答案为A。

B
Moisture is collected from the atmosphere by the action of cold. During the day, the powerful heat of the sun causes water to evaporate from the earth, forming moist vapor, which condenses into dew after sunset as temperature drops. Dew is more copious in the spring and autumn than at any other season. It is also more common in warm countries than in cold ones because of the sudden changes of temperature. Egypt abounds in dew all summer long; for the air is too hot to condense the vapors in the day-time and the dew never gathers into clouds and forms rain.
(
A.large drops of rain falling from the sky
B.water vapor that condenses in the clouds
C.small droplets that form when water vapor condenses
D.the water that makes up the lakes and puddles on earth
