问题 In aquatic environments, the herbicide atrazine is more likely to (i)________developing amphibians when it is highly diluted than when it is much more concentrated, a new study suggests. Although counterintuitive, the finding is (ii)________some past research on atrazine and studies showing that other hormonally active compounds are most damaging at trace concentrations.
Blank (i)     Blank (ii)
A. supplant   D. unanticipated given
B. kill       E. consistent with
C. circumvent F. undiminished by
选项
答案B,E
解析 通读题干，发现空格(ii)最好做。空格所在句子由although引导转折关系，所以空格对应counterintuitive取其反义词即可，表达“尽管与直觉不一致，但是与之前的研究是一致的”的含义，所以选择E选项。之前的研究告诉我们其他激素活性化合物(hormonally active compounds)在微量浓度(at trace concentrations，注意trace这个熟词僻义)的时候最具有杀伤力，所以这里显然trace concentrations对应的是前文的高度稀释(when it is highly diluted)，所以空格(i)对应的是most damaging，取其同义词即可，选择B选项。
