The scientist found it puzzling that his theory encountered (i)_______ despite widespread agreement that it was (ii)_______.
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】空格(i)+空格(ii):
- 方程等号:despite尽管,让步转折,反义重复。
- 强词和对应:it指代his theory,句中没有强词,说明两个空格为强词。所以空格(i)和空格(ii)根据despite取反,选一组反义词。代入选项,respect尊敬…crucial重要的,不取反,排除;dismissal不予考虑…simplistic过分简单的,不取反,排除;skepticism怀疑…unfathomable难以理解的,不取反,排除;opposition反对…indisputable不容置疑的,取反,代入句意合适,正确;acceptance接受…comprehensive全面的,不取反,排除。答案选D。
