问题 With the emergence of scientific history-writing in the late nineteenth century, several authors sought to ignore the glowing myths surrounding George Washington and uncover the human being within, but their biographies were still (i)________enough that Washington remained a marbled and remote figure.

Blank (i)    Blank (ii)         Blank (iii)
A. ponderous D. a deified       G. debunk
B. empirical E. an ignored      H. aggrandize
C. laudatory F. a misunderstood I. reproduce

选项

答案C,D,G

解析 先看空格(i),逻辑连接词是but,表示前后语义相反。前面说有一些作家试图忽视(ignore)乔治.华盛顿身边环绕的散发着光芒的谜团(glowing myths)并揭露(uncover)隐藏在内部的人,后面说但是他们的传记依然足够________,华盛顿仍然是大理石塑像般的遥远的人物(marbled and remote figure)。从后半句的marbled和remote可以看出这些作家对于华盛顿的态度仍然是赞美的,所以空格(i)选C项laudatory(赞美的)。再看空格(ii)逻辑连接词是indeed,表示前后同义重复,应该也是表达赞美。到了20世纪20年代,华盛顿变成了如此________的角色。空格(ii)与前面的赞美同义对应,D项a deified(尊崇,神化)最符合预期。最后看空格(iii),逻辑连接词是the other extreme,表示前后取反。前面句子是赞美,后面说有人走向另外一个极端,开始________这个传奇。空格(iii)与前面两个空格反义对应,填负向评价词,G项debunk(揭露,揭穿)最符合。
