问题 The simplicity of the theory—its main attraction is also its (i)____, for only by (ii)____ the assumptions of the theory is it possible to explain the most recent observations made by researchers.

选项 A、liability…accepting
B、virtue…qualifying
C、downfall…considering
D、glory…rejecting
E、undoing…supplementing

答案E

解析 空格(ii):
- 强词和对应:explain the most recent observations指向空格(ii),取同“新的理论”才能解释“新的观察”,因此空格(ii)+the assumptions of the theory体现“新”。accept接受,qualify限定,consider考虑,reject拒绝,supplement补充。选项A和C只是停留在已有的theory层面,无法解释最近的“recent”。选项E合适,增补theory的assumption,让其能解释最近的观察
空格(i):
- 方程等号:for表示因果,同义重复。
- 强词和对应:空格(i)和for后面的句子构成同义重复。only by后的句子倒装,正确的语序是it is possible to explain the most recent observations made by researchers only by______the assumptions of the theory。只有不断让theory变“新”才能解释最近的观察,因此体现theory是“有缺陷的”,空格(i)是一个负向词。liability责任(错),virtue优点(错),downfall衰落(对),glory荣耀(错),undoing失败的原因(对)。综合空格(ii),答案选E。
