选项 A、reactive…shielding
B、stable…blackmailing
C、depressed…cheating
D、prohibitive…placating
E、excessive…gouging

答案E

解析 空格(i):
- 方程等号:逗号说明前后句意同义重复。
- 强词和对应:前文提到燃料普遍不足,空格(i)和shortage构成同义重复,体现燃料不足对价格带来的影响,而供给不足价格会“升高”。 reactive有反应的,stable稳定的,depresseol萧条的,prohibitive(价格)过高的,excessive过高的。 选项A、D和E合适。
空格(ii):
- 方程等号:so…that…因为太…所以…,前后句意同义重复。
- 强词和对应:空格(ii)和空格(i)构成同义重复,体现供应商对消费者因为“高价”而产生的影响。 shield保护(错),blackmail敲诈(对),cheat欺骗(错),placate安慰(错),gouge敲诈(对)。综合空格(i),答案选E。
