Given the failure of independent laboratories to replicate the results of Dr. Johnson’s experiment, only the most (i)______ supporters of her hypothesis would be foolish enough to claim that it had been adequately (ii)______.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】空格(ii): - 方程等号:would be出现,前后取同。 - 强词和对应:空格(ii)体现的是Dr.Johnson的支持者对她提出的假设的态度,空格(ii)和supporters构成同义重复,体现支持者的态度肯定是“支持的”,正向。define明确,verify证实,publicize宣传,research研究,undermine削弱。排除选项E。 空格(i): - 方程等号:would be之后的内容描述支持者的行为特点,空格(i)修饰支持者,前后句意同义重复。 - 强词和对应:空格(i)和foolish构成同义重复,体现支持者是“愚蠢的”,负评价。fastidious一丝不苟的(错),partisan盲目支持的(对),vigilant警惕的(错),enlightened有见识的(错),fervent热情的(错)。综合空格(ii),答案选B。 - fastidious这个词的英文释义为:if you say that someone is fastidious,you mean that they pay great attention to detail because they like everything to be very neat,accurate,and in good order,中文释义为“一丝不苟的,注重细节的”,是一个正评价。
