先处理空格Ⅱ:题内"It is true that..."代表了第一种说法,"but reports that..."代表了与第一种说法相反的情形。既然前者是“确凿可信的”(true), 则后者应是“虚妄谬误的”,与true一词构成反义。(D) reasonable 和 (E) substantiated (具体化的,被证实了的)构成的是同义关系,可先予排除。(A) empirical (经验主义的)无针对性。(C) irrelevant 意为“不相关联的”,它并不就意味着“谬误的”。唯 (B) unfounded (没有根据的,无稽之谈的)为正确。在空格Ⅰ处,所代入的动词用以描述 “seeds” 的某种情况,可将第二句中再涉及seeds这一概念时所用的viable一词以动词形式直接代入,则求得同义的(B)germinated一词。/ d& x1 e D0 f. ^2 j* @1 w5 ]

以Even though 引导的让步状语从句与主句构成对立相反的关系,将中心线索定位于useful一词,则求得其反义词(E)deleterious(有害的,造成伤害的)。 |
