单选题 The Roman Emperor Claudius was viewed with ______ by generations of historians until newly discovered evidence showed him to be ______ administrator.
A. suspicion...a clever B. disdain...a capable
C. antagonism...an eager D. indignation...an incompetent

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] B选项：disdain的意思为“鄙视”，capable的意思为“有能力的”，如：He was treated with disdain．(他受到鄙视。)句意：历代历史学家都十分鄙视罗马皇帝克劳迪亚斯，但新发现的证据表明他是一位有能力的管理者。故选B。
suspicion怀疑；clever聪明的；antagonism对抗，敌对；eager热切的；indignation愤慨；incompetent无能力的。
