O Wilson, much of his most recent book Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge will be (i)________, as the book represents the culmination of a life spent thinking about everything from the social lives of ants to the social lives of people.

Blank (i)       Blank (ii)
A. predicatable D. purview
B. discounted   E. overreaching
C. startling    F. contingency

选项

答案A,D

解析 空格(i)表示的是对于E项威尔逊的热心读者(avid reader)而言,这个作家最近的这本书将会是怎么样的。既然是这位作家的粉丝,那么当然应该对这位作家的一切都很熟悉。并且空格(ii)前面的内容告诉我们“新的思想被混合进了旧的思想(new thoughts have been mixed in with the old)”,所以更能体现出其“可以预测”的属性,因此空格(i)选择A。有的同学可能会错选C选项,句子中并没有体现出乎意料的语气,仅仅告诉我们的一个线索就是这个读者是热心的。空格(ii)要填入一个名词,表示这本书的一个特点,整本书的特点很简单,就是as the book represents the culmination of a life spent thinking about everything from the social lives of ants to the social lives of people,所以选择D,表示“范围,视野”。
