问题 The point we might still take from the First World War is the old one that wars are always, as one historian aptly put it,______: they produce unforeseeable results.
选项 A、unsurprising
B、astounding
C、conventional
D、ruinous
E、stunning
答案B，E
解析 The colon after the blank indicates a definitional relationship between the blanked word and the phrase that follows the colon. The two answer choices for which "they produce unforeseeable results" would most clearly serve as a definition are "astounding" and "stunning." While "ruinous" and "devastating" might be adjectives describing the effects of war, they clearly do not fit the logical structure of this sentence, since they are not by definition "unforeseeable."
Thus, the correct answer is astounding(Choice B)and stunning(Choice E).
