问题 Since 1813 reaction to Jane Austen’s novels has oscillated between (i)________ and condescension; but in general later writers have esteemed her works more highly than did most of her literary (ii)________.

选项 A、dismissal…admirers
B、adoration…contemporaries
C、disapproval…readers
D、indifference…followers
E、approbation…precursors

答案B

解析 空格(i):
- 方程等号:oscillate between A and B在A和B之间摇摆,A和B反义重复。
- 强词和对应:condescension的释义是the trait of displaying arrogance by patronizing those considered inferior,表现高人一等的(形容自己的优越感即轻蔑的态度)。因此空格(i)和condescension取反,填入一个正评价。dismissal不予考虑,adoration崇拜,disapproval反对,indifference冷漠,approbation赞许。选项B和E合适。
空格(ii):
- 方程等号:more…than…前后对比,反义重复。
- 强词和对应:前文说后来的作家更加尊重她的作品,因此空格(ii)和later writers构成对象取反,同时根据later得出是不同时期的对象,体现“之前的作者”或“当时的作者”。admirer崇拜者(错),contemporary同时代的人(对),reader读者(对),follower追随者(对),precursor先驱(错)。而“之前的作者”是不可能读过之后的书的,因此排除选项E。答案选B。
