问题 The controversy about Alexander the Great’s personality derives from the fact that our sources are (i)________, all eyewitness accounts having perished. What remains is, at best, (ii)________(one history, for instance, is based largely on the now-lost memoirs of Alexander’s alleged half-brother, Ptolemy) and at worst, highly unreliable.
Blank (i)     Blank (ii)
A. outdated   D. secondhand
B. inadequate E. repetitious
C. abstruse   F. deceptive

选项

答案D

解析 先看空格(i),逻辑连接标志是逗号,表示前后同义重复。前面说关于亚历山大大帝的性格的争论是因为原始资料是________的,后面说所有见证者的描述都消失了(perished)。Our sources are________与all eyewitness accounts having perished同义对应。空格表达“描述记录消失”的含义,显然是说原始资料不足,B项inadequate(不足的)符合预期。再看空格(ii),逻辑连接标志是括号中的for instance,表示前后同义重复。前面说剩下的往好了说是________,后面括号中说比如有段历史基本上是基于他表亲的回忆录。空格(ii)表达“来源于别人的回忆”的含义,D项secondhand(二手的,间接获得的)符合题意。
