Blank (i)         Blank (ii)
A. alienated from D. eager to exploit
B. emboldened by  E. unable to seize
C. encumbered by  F. forced to reconsider

选项

答案C,E

解析 先看空格(i),第一句话说作者将图书出版业描绘成一个死板守旧的(hidebound)行业,one是hidebound industry的同位语,解释说明这个行业的特点,所以空格(i)所在部分应体现出其hidebound的特点,表示其拘泥于过去、不与时俱进,所以空格(i)选择C。so…as to…则表示因果关系,前面说图书出版业拘泥于过去,所以怎样了科技变革带来的契机,既然是过时的东西,当然无法抓住科技变革的契机,所以空格(ii)选择E。
