问题 Within the next decade, sophisticated telescopes now orbiting the Earth will determine whether the continents really are moving, (i)____ the incipient (ii)____ among geologists about the validity of the theory of continental drift.

选项 A、obviating…consensus
B、forestalling…rift
C、escalating…debates
D、engendering…speculation
E、resolving…rumors

答案B

解析 空格(ii):
- 方程等号:within the next decade和incipient时间对比,反义重复。
- 强词和对应:因为未来会决定是否大陆真的在移动,所以起初的观点就是不确定的,所以空格(ii)填入一个表示“不确定”含义的单词。consensus共识,rift分歧,debate争论,speculation推测,rumor谣言。选项B、C、D合适。
空格(i):
- 方程等号:第二个逗号,前后取同。
- 强词和对应:逗号前面说未来精密的望远镜就可以确定大陆是否真的移动,对于起初的不确定性进行了排除,所以空格填入一个负向词。obviate排除(正确),forestall阻止(正确),escalate扩大(错误),engender产生(错误),resolve解决(正确)。综合空格(ii),答案选B。
