选项 A、counterpart
B、opposite
C、competitor
D、opponent

答案B

解析 词汇类试题;上下文类试题。counterpart:one that has the same functions and characteristics as another;an opposite number:“对手方相应的人或物:与另一个具有相同的功能或特点的人或物;对策的人”:Theforeign minister is the counterpart of the secretary of state.外交部长是和国务秘书对等的人。opposite:altogetherdifferent,as in nature,quality,or significance:“正相反的:截然相反的,如在自然属性、质量或重要性方面”:competitor:one that competes with another, as in sports or business;a rival.“竞争者:指与他人竞争的人,如在体育或商业上;对手”。opponent:acting against an antagonist or opposing force:“对立的:作为反面人物的,反对的”,opponent armies敌军。联系上下文,可以看出这两种观念是正相反的,但并没有“敌对”的意思,因此选择opposite。
