问题 Although his outnumbered troops fought bravely, the general felt he had no choice but to (i)____ defeat and (ii)____ a retreat.

选项 A、hasten…suggest
B、seek…try
C、oversee…reject
D、overcome…request
E、acknowledge…order

答案E

解析 空格(i):
- 方程等号:Although尽管,反义重复。
- 强词和对应:had no choice but to相当于had to,fought bravely和defeat根据Although构成反义重复,因此空格(i)填入不改变句子的逻辑方向的词。hasten加速,seek寻求,oversee监督,overcome克服,acknowledge承认。hasten,seek和oversee都体现了“主动自愿”的行为,与had no choice but to(别无选择,只能…)矛盾。因此排除选项A、B、C和D,选项E合适。
空格(ii):
- 方程等号:and连接平行结构,并列空格(i)和空格(ii),前后同义重复。
- 强词和对应:空格(i)和空格(ii)构成同义重复。and前面说“承认失败”,所以and后面也要表达“失败”,retreat表示撤退,所以空格填入一个不改变句子逻辑方向的词。suggest建议(对),try尝试(对),reject拒绝(错),request要求(对),order下令(对)。综合空格(i),答案选E。
