问题 Environmental models—mathematical representations designed to simulate natural systems—are regularly used by litigants in legal disputes over environmental issues. Unfortunately, the (i)________scientific model is (ii)________in environmental tort litigation. Because of the adversarial nature of litigation, models are often used by one side to (iii)________empirical evidence presented by the other. And because modeling is a particularly technical field, the task of assessing a given model’s relevance and reliability may exceed the abilities of judges and juries.
Blank (i)                  Blank (ii)     Blank (iii)
A. evidentiary value of    D. avoided     G. adduce
B. uncertainty inherent in E. predictive  H. obfuscate
C. increasing reliance on  F. exacerbated I. replicate

选项

答案B,F

解析 通读题干,首先解决空格(iii),空格(iii)所在句子说模型将会被一方用来(models are often used by one side)去________另外一方。前面的because of引导原因,由于诉讼的对抗性质(adversarial nature of litigation),因此空格(iii)要体现出与adversarial nature有关的含义,即“攻击”的类似概念,所以选择H项obfuscate。接下来解决前两个空格,表示科学模型的什么在环境侵权诉讼中是怎样的。空格(iii)所在句子以及最后一句话都是引导原因,由because引导。最后一句话说法官与陪审团无法判断一个模型的相关性与可靠性(a given model’s:relevance and reliability mac exceed the abilities of judges and juries),证明这些models在诉讼中处于一种模棱两可的状态,法官们无法判断,所以一二两空联动选择B、F最为合适。有的同学会错选A、F,法官无法判断models的相关性与有效性,未必是个坏事,如果你掌握了解释的主动权反而是一件好事,所以这里不能直接下结论说证据的价值被恶化了。individually as if mass-produced)更为合适。
