For many years, Americans have had a love affair with ferryboats. Ferries are said to relieve our frayed nerves after we’ve stewed in bumper-to-bumper traffic, and conventional wisdom also says ferries (i)________congestion and air pollution by getting us out of our cars.

选项
答案
B,E,G
解析
通读句子:许多年来,美国人一直都很喜欢渡船。据说渡船可以放松我们在拥挤的交通之后紧张的神经,并且传统观点也声称渡船可以通过让我们离开车的方式来(i)________交通堵塞和空气污染。空格(i)要填入一个动作,表示渡船对于堵塞和空气污染的作用。通读前面的句子很容易得知美国人对渡船是正面的态度,所以渡船应该会有正面的作用,因此渡船对于交通堵塞和空气污染这类负面的东西的作用,应该是消除、削弱的,所以空格(i)选B项reduce(减少)。再看空格(iii),这个概念最近________了几个西海岸的市长,结果这些市长极度渴望在他们的城市开展渡船服务。空格(iii)所在部分的逻辑连接词为in consequence(因此),引导因果,因的部分与果的部分取同。果的部分说这些市长极度渴望在他们的城市开展渡船服务,即这些市长对渡船是正面的评价,所以空格(iii)填入的动词应该是表示市长们会正评价渡船的原因,所以选G项captivated(吸引)。而H项confused(使困惑)和I项outraged(使愤怒)都不能导致市长们对渡船的正评价,所以不予考虑。再看空格(ii),这里要填一个形容词,表示this ________notion的特征,这里的this ________notion指代前面认为渡船有各种各样正面影响的观念,这个观念使市长们渴望在他们的城市开展渡船服务。注意,空格(ii)所在的句子前面的词unfortunately(不幸的是),只有在明明知道这么做的结果会不好,依然有人这么做的情况下我们才会把这类行为称之为不幸的。因此这里指的是渡船有各种正面影响的这种观念让那些本不应该在其城市开展渡船服务的市长渴望开展渡船服务。显然这种观念是具有误导性的,所以空格(ii)选E项misguided(具有误导性的)。
