问题 The trade in scientific literature in nineteenth-century Germany was so robust that publishers constantly worried about (i)________of new titles, an anxiety that gave even relatively undistinguished authors, who made their living writing technical treatises, (ii)________.
Blank (i)    Blank (i)
A. prices    D. limited public relevance
B. supplies  E. enviable scholarly credentials
C. embargoes F. strong bargaining positions
选项
答案B,F
解析 先看空格(i)，逻辑连接词是so…that…表示前后同义重复。前面说科学文献这个行业(trade)是如此的繁荣(robust)，后面说以至于出版商忧虑新文章的________。既然这个行业robust，出版商唯恐供不应求，空格(i)要体现新文章供应的含义，选项符合预期的是B项supplies(供给)。有些同学空格(i)可能会选A项prices。注意，行业繁荣的时候供应商(即出版商)担心的是供给，而消费者关心的是价格。举个例子，我们把这里的trade in scientific literature换成trade in iPhone，当苹果手机交易火爆的时候，商家最担心的是价格还是供货问题?显然，应当是担心供货。再看空格(ii)，逻辑连接词是and，表示前后并列重复。前面说担心新文章供应，后面说这种担心给那些甚至不出名的(undistinguished)作家________。因为害怕供不应求，自然是卖方市场，卖方话语权更大，所以，空格(ii)表达“话语权重”这一含义，选项符合预期的是F项strong bargaining positions(很高的谈判地位)。
