问题 While early biographies of Florence Nightingale tended to be quite________, Lytton Strachey’s irreverent 1918 essay about her ushered in a new era, making it acceptable, even fashionable, to criticize her.

选项 A、unsympathetic
B、sycophantic
C、unsentimental
D、censorious
E、pedantic

答案B

解析反义对立类题目。while放句首，如果后面没有明确时间点的话，一般都理解为“尽管”。空格表示的是early biographies of Florence Nightingale的一个属性，而while引导前后转折，所以线索应从后面寻找。后半句后说林顿.斯特拉奇关于她的一些不尊敬的文章(irreverent 1918 essay)引领了一个新的时代，使得对于这个人的批评变得可以接受，甚至成为一种时尚。后面的几个关键词irreverent，criticize体现的都是负评价，所以转折之前一定填入一个正评价词。综上，应当选择B项sycophantic(奉承的)。注意C选项，unsentimental的意思是“不感情用事的”，不是“冷漠”的意思。有同学会错选D，理由是“尽管早期的批评十分严厉，但是林顿.斯特拉奇开启了一个新的时代，使批评变得可以接受，甚至十分流行；censorious与acceptable在程度上取反”。这个思路错在，空格(i)表示的是biographies的属性，而句末修饰的是criticize的属性，所以不存在程度上的改变，前后指的不是同一事物，说白了就是“尽管早期传记作品怎么样，但是后来使得批评变成时尚”，所以还是应该对criticize取反。
