问题 Many of the unusual behaviors attributed to crows—such as drinking coffee or presenting gifts to people who feed them—are based on (i)________and therefore fall into the category of (ii)________ rather than science.
Blank (i)                 Blank (ii)
A. long-term observation  D. anecdote
B. controlled experiments E. speculation
C. secondhand testimony   F. hypothesis

选项

答案C,D

解析 题目说,许多关于乌鸦的不寻常行为的描述是基于(i)________的,因此属于(ii)________的范畴而非科学。注意空格(i)和空格(ii)所在的句子为因果关系,因此空格(ii)与空格(i)同义对应。同时,空格(ii)后面有rather than,因此空格(ii)与rather than后面的science反义对应。综上,空格(i)和空格(ii)同义对应,并且都与science反义对应。先做空格(i),A项1ong—term observations(长时期观察)和B项controlled experiments(控制变量试验)都属于科学的研究方法,与科学同义对应。不选;因此,只能选C项secondhand testimony (道听途说)。空格(ii)与空格(i)同义对应,即与secondhand testimony同义对应,因此选D项anecdote(趣闻轶事)。
