问题 The concept of the Hellenistic period in ancient history has proved useful but also________, with scholars disagreeing on the dates when the period began and ended.
A. slippery
B. elusive
C. fruitless
D. deceptive
E. futile
F. compelling

选项

答案A,B

解析 空格前的but also表示前后取反,这里需要注意同一主体的转折关系在取反时不要自相矛盾,类似于“虽然我很聪明,但是我很笨”这样的句子在解题的时候应该避免。前面说useful,后面如果选fruitless和futile岂不矛盾?所以最符合的是A项slippery和B项elusive。slippery的含义需要注意,可参考《美国传统词典》的第三条解释:not trustworthy;elusive or tricky,所以A、B两项是同义词,都可以表示“难以捉摸”。
