问题 Business forecasts usually prove reasonably accurate when the assumption that the future will be much like the past is (i)____; in times of major (ii)____ in the business environment, however, forecasts can be dangerously wrong.

选项 A、specified…discontinuities
B、questioned...surges
C、contradicted…improvements
D、entertained…risks
E、satisfied…shifts

答案E

解析 空格(i):
- 方程等号:when引导时间状语从句,同义重复。
- 强词和对应:when前面说通常认为商业预测是非常精准的,accurate和be much like根据when取同,因此空格(i)和reasonably取同,体现假设是“合理的”,填入一个正向词。specify明确提出,question质疑,contradict反驳,entertain接受,satisfy满足。选项E合适。
空格(ii):
- 方程等号:however表示转折,反义重复。
- 强词和对应:前文说满足未来像过去高度相似这一假设,那么是商业预测是准的,accurate和wrong根据however取反。所以目前就不满足之前的假设,也就是说过去和未来不一致,也就意味着商业环境多变。discontinuity不连续性(对),surge猛增(错),improvement改善(错),risk风险(错),shift改变(对)。综合空格(i),答案选E。
