问题 The (i)________nature of the candidate’s comments is calculated. As a long-standing target of critics who regard him as a radical, he understands that he needs to be as (ii)________as possible if he is to overcome those critiques and appear as a (iii)________leader.
Blank (i)        Blank (ii)      Blank (iii)
A. opprobrious   D. innocuous    G. polarizing
B. platitudinous E. truculent    H. cautious
C. pugnacious    F. supercilious I. conciliatory

选项

答案B,D,I

解析 先看空格(iii),逻辑连接词是and,表示前后同义重复。前面说要overcome those critiques(指责他radical),后面说表现为怎样的领导,因此空格(iii)表达radical的反义(才不会被critique),I项conciliatory(安抚的,调和的,make more friendly)符合,比cautious(小心谨慎的)更符合题意,cautious其实与not radical无关,因为一个人可以是非常激进的,但是同时也可以是非常谨慎的。再看空格(ii),同空格(iii)一样要表达正评价,才能不被critique,因此排除E、F负评价词,D项innocuous(无害的)符合。最后看空格(i),候选人言论的________是故意的(calculated)。后面说他为避免critique而装作innocuous从而表现出conciliatory,所以空格(i)应该是他故意表现出的状态。A项opprobrious与C项pugnacious不符合(否则就会被critique),因此选B项platitudinous(陈词滥调的)。
