问题 Because of its lack of theaters, the city came, ironically, to be viewed as an (i)______ theater town, and that reputation led entrepreneurs to believe that it would be (ii)______ to build new theaters there.

选项 A、unprofitable…risky
B、untapped…pointless
C、unappreciated…difficult
D、unlikely…appropriate
E、unimpressed…shrewd

答案A

解析 空格(i):
- 方程等号:ironically体现句意反义重复。
- 强词和对应:根据原文,这座缺少剧院的城市让企业家考虑建立新剧院会空格(ii)。企业家(entrepreneur)考虑的是盈利(参看注释。按照常理,一个没有剧院的地方对企业家来说是一个潜在的赚钱市场,但根据ironically取反得知,空格(i)体现这座没有剧院的城市反而让企业家“无法赚钱”。unprofitable无利可图的,untapped未开发的(有钱可赚),unappreciated未被欣赏的/值得欣赏的(有钱可赚),unlikely不可能的,unimpressed无深刻印象的。选项A、D、E合适。
空格(ii):
- 方程等号:led…to表示因果,前后句意同义重复。
- 强词和对应:根据前文,这座没有剧院的城市对企业家来说是“无法盈利的”,因此空格(ii)和空格(i)根据led to取同,体现建造新剧院是“没有好处的”或“无法盈利的”,负评价。risky危险的(对),pointless无意义的(对),difficult困难的(对),appropriate合适的(错),shrewd精明的(错)。综合空格(i),答案选A。
