问题 Among the most popular Currier & Ives lithographic prints in nineteenth-century America were bird’s-eye views of great cities such as New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. These were edited into books, and the cities’ (i)________meant that new views were (ii)________for successive editions.
Blank (i)                  Blank (ii)
A. tremendous productivity D. hard to obtain
B. extraneous growth       E. rendered superfluous
C. unparalleled activity   F. regularly required

选项

答案A,F

解析 首句完整。语义是19世纪 Currier & Ives平版印刷中最流行的当属大城市的鸟瞰图。后句说这些图片被编辑成册(these were edited in to books),城市的(i)________意味着(ii)________新版的鸟瞰图(successive editions)。空格(i)和空格(ii)联动。既然需要successive editions,表明原先的版本由于城市的某种属性而不适应了,同时空格(i)后也提及了new view,A项tremendous productivity(巨大的生产力)和F项regularly required(定期需要)符合句意。其中productivity的形容词productive,在词典中也有“创新的”的意思。
