问题 The old man could not have been accused of (i)____ his affection; his conduct toward the child betrayed his (ii)____ her.

选项 A、lavishing…fondness for
B、sparing…tolerance of
C、rationing…antipathy for
D、stinting…adoration of
E、promising…dislike of

答案D

解析 - 方程等号:分号,同义重复。not取反。空格(i)和空格(ii)联动。could not have been accused of表示虚拟语气,体现“老人不应该因为对自己的爱所做出的行为受到指责”(实则他受到了指责)。
空格(i)+空格(ii):
- 如果空格(ii)和affection取同,体现他的“爱”,选项中fondness for喜爱,adoration of慈爱,满足要求;空格(i)和betrayed根据not取反,体现“没有表现”,填入一个负向词,lavish过分给予,stint吝啬。stint表示缺少爱,正确,答案选D。
- 如果空格(ii)和affection根据not取反,体现他“不爱”,空格(i)和betrayed取同,体现“表现”,填入一个正向词,意为老人“不应该因为他爱孩子而指责他”(实际是人们指责他爱孩子),与常识不符。因此排除此种可能性。
- 其余选项:spare节俭…tolerance of忍耐;ration分配…antipathy for厌恶;promise承诺…dislikeof讨厌。答案选D。
