问题 Despite a tendency to be overtly________, the poetry does not consist solely of pious sentiments: It sparks the imagination and provides lively entertainment.
A. preachy
B. querulous
C. insincere
D. sanctimonious
E. plaintive
F. disingenuous

选项

答案A,D

解析 逻辑连接词是despite。表示前后让步转折。让步的部分说虽然有明显的趋势,转折的部分说这首诗歌并没有只包含pious sentiments(虔诚的情感),冒号后进一步解释:诗歌中还闪耀着想象和生动的娱乐。空格部分与not consist solely of pious sentiments句意相反,即空格与pious sentiments相同。A项preachy(爱讲道的)和D项sanctimonious(假装虔诚的)符合,这里pious有“伪善的”的含义,即falsely appearing to be good or moral,所以preachy(爱讲道的,假正经的)和sanctimonious(道貌岸然的,假装虔诚的)符合。
