问题 Even though company’s CEO professes to be (i)_________and urges the deal forward, its investors are unlikely to be so (ii)________about its prospect. Many were uncomfortable at the way the corporation was forced to spend much of last year expansion, and this new venture is potentially even more risky.
Blank (i)       Blank (ii)
A. apprehensive D. indifferent
B. apathetic    E. sanguine
C. confident    F. anxious

选项

答案C,E

解析 末句完整,语义是很多投资者都对去年公司被迫花费大量资金进行扩张表示不满(uncomfortable),并且这个新的投资项目更加冒险(risky)。投资人对公司及这个新项目是持负评价态度的。再看前句,逻辑连接词是even though,表示前后让步转折。让步的部分说尽管公司的CEO宣称(i)________并且极力推动(urge)此次交易的进行,转折的部分说投资者对它的前景却没有(unlikely to)那么(ii)________。因此,be(i)________与unlikely to be so(ii)________反义对应。两空格是同义关系,都是CEO对新项目的态度。因为投资者是负评价,因此空格填一组正评价的同义词,C项confident(自信的)和E项sanguine(乐观的)符合预判。
