Blank (i)    Blank (ii)       Blank (iii)
A. flawless  D. durable       G. many appreciate in value
B. fungible  E. useless       H. reflect the buyer’s connoisseurship
C. expensive F. irreplaceable I. serve no practical purpose

选项

答案C,E,I

解析 通读句子发现,空格(i)和空格(ii)证明了两个结论,那么解题线索自然来自于分号后面。分号后面在说他们的购买者有很多钱愿意花在这些商品上(their purchasers have so much money they can spend it on goods),说明这些商品很贵,并且空格(iii)后面也再次告诉我们这些商品很贵,所以前两个空格中就有一个要体现出“很贵”这样的概念,空格(i)选择C选项。空格(i)证明了空格(iii)前后的语句,那么空格(iii)由谁来证明呢?只能是空格(ii),所以空格(ii)和(iii)是一对同义概念。那么问题来了,很多同学空格(i0会错选D或F。如果选择D选项的话,那么DG、DH都是合理组合,你因为durable而选择了这些宝石,就说明这些宝石有升值的可能,同时也能说明你具备一定的鉴赏力。如果空格(ii)选择F,理由也是一样的,FG、FH也都可以选择,所以这里我们只能选择E和I。E项useless(无用的)及I项serve no practical purpose(没有实际用途)符合句意。
