【C19】
选项 A、counterpart
B、opposite
C、competitor
D、opponent
答案B
解析 词汇类试题；上下文类试题。counterpart：one that has the same functions and characteristics as another；an opposite number：“对手方相应的人或物：与另一个具有相同的功能或特点的人或物；对策的人”：Theforeign minister is the counterpart of the secretary of state．外交部长是和国务秘书对等的人。opposite：altogetherdifferent，as in nature，quality,or significance：“正相反的：截然相反的，如在自然属性、质量或重要性方面”：competitor：one that competes with another, as in sports or business；a rival．“竞争者：指与他人竞争的人，如在体育或商业上；对手”。opponent：acting against an antagonist or opposing force：“对立的：作为反面人物的，反对的”，opponent armies敌军。联系上下文，可以看出这两种观念是正相反的，但并没有“敌对”的意思，因此选择opposite。
