问题 The controversy about Alexander the Great’s personality derives from the fact that our sources are (i)________, all eyewitness accounts having perished. What remains is, at best, (ii)________ (one history, for instance, is based largely on the now-lost memoirs of Alexander’s alleged half-brother, Ptolemy) and at worst, highly unreliable.
Blank (i)                    Blank (ii)
A. outdated                D. secondhand
B. inadequate               E. repetitious
C. abstruse                 F. deceptive

选项

答案B,D

解析 空格(i):
-方程等号:逗号,同义重复。
- 强词和对应:逗号前面说我们的原始资料是空格(i)的,逗号后面说所有目击者的描述都被销毁了,所以空格(i)根据逗号取同,应填入perish的同义词。outdated过时的,inadequate不足的,abstruse难以理解的,答案选B。
空格(ii):
- 方程等号:括号,同义重复。
- 强词和对应:括号内的内容是对括号前面空格(ii)的一个详细解释,括号内说一段历史记录很大程度上是基于现在已经遗失的回忆录,这个回忆录来自Alexander宣称的同父异母兄弟,说明这段历史应该是来自于他人的,是间接的。secondhand二手的/间接的,repetitious重复的,deceptive骗人的。答案选D。
