问题 Because of the excellent preservation of the fossil, anatomical details of early horseshoe crabs were (i)______ for the first time, enabling experts to (ii)______ the evolution of the horseshoe crab.

选项 A、scrutinized...ensure
B、verified...advance
C、identified...distort
D、obscured...illustrate
E、clarified...reassess

答案E

解析 空格(i):
- 方程等号:because of因为,同义重复。
- 强词和对应:根据题意,因为化石的完美保存,空格(i)和excellent preservation根据because of构成同义重复,体现早期马蹄蟹的构造细节第一次因为极好的保存而“获得”,填一个正向词。scrutinize仔细检查,verify证实,identify识别,obscure使模糊,clarify澄清。scrutinize的释义是to examine(something)carefully especially in a critical way,指以批评的态度进行审视,排除选项A和D。B、C、E三项合适。
空格(ii):
- 方程等号:逗号说明前后同义重复。
- 强词和对应:根据题意,空格(ii)体现化石的保存使得专家能够“了解”进化,填一个正向词。ensure确保,advance进步,distort扭曲,illustrate解释,reassess重新评价。因为evolution是马蹄蟹自身发展的过程,无法由科学家使得其进步,排除选项B。综合空格(i),答案选E。
