I’m not the one who brought them together or decided which individuals deserved a place in the magic circle. I serve【C1】________in the roles of custodian and interpreter, mindful that I am the latest in a long line of collectors and librarians who have cared for the manuscripts of figures from the past. I’ve learned from them, argued with them, and—yes—loved them, not because they were【C2】________but because they were humans, and because they granted me such rich works of art. Reading one of their manuscripts is different from reading their work in【C3】________because writing, as is noted, harbors all sorts of secrets: remainders of the author’s creative decisions and passing thoughts, and【C4】________ of their emotional states in particular moments. It is impossible, for example, to look at a page from the manuscript draft of The Girl of the Golden West【C5】________grasping the energy, indeed frenzy—with which Puccini composed.

【正确答案】 1、F    
【答案解析】形容词辨析题。分析句子结构可知,空格位于be动词were后,因此可填入一个名词或形容词。空格位于not because they were________but because they were humans结构中,所以,空格所填词与humans有对应关系,且两者语义应该能够产生对比。在所有名词和形容词选项中,只有F. faultless“完美无缺的”符合条件,故为答案。虽然H. inhumane更像是humans的反义词,但inhumane意为“残忍的,不人道的”,很明显不能用来修饰那些历史名人,故排除。
