问题 In the absence of any (i)____ caused by danger, hardship, or even cultural difference, most utopian communities deteriorate into (ii)____ but enervating backwaters.

选项 A、turmoil…frantic
B、mistrust…naive
C、amelioration…ignorant
D、decimation…intrusive
E、stimulation…placid

答案E

解析 空格(ii):
- 方程等号:but前后连接两个communities的两个特征,but起强调作用,前后词义取同,感情色彩取反。
- 强词和对应:空格(ii)对应enervating,体现没有活力的。frantic发狂的,naive天真的,ignorant无知的,intrusive入侵的,placid平静的。选项E合适。
空格(i):
- 方程等号:In the absence of表示缺乏,意思为not,反义重复。
- 强词和对应:enervating指向空格(i),根据In the absence of取反,体现“有活力的”,正向。turmoil混乱(对),mistrust怀疑(对),amelioration改善(错),decimation大量毁灭(对),stimulation刺激(对)。amelioration的释义是if someone or something ameliorates a situation,they make it better or easier in some way。by后面的danger,hardship和cultural difference强调不好的方面,所以排除选项C。综合空格(ii),答案选E。
