Because they had expected the spacecraft Voyager 2 to be able to gather data only about the planets Jupiter and Saturn, scientists were______the wealth of information it sent back from Neptune twelve years after leaving Earth.
选项
A、anxious for
B、confident in
C、thrilled about
D、keen on
E、elated by
答案
C,E
解析
In the sentence, the words "expected" and "only" imply that the data received from the spacecraft exceeded scientists’ expectations. Therefore, the words that fill the blank should describe a reaction to results that are better than hoped for, and the choices "thrilled about" and "elated by" both express such a reaction. The scientists may well also have been eager for, or keen on, the information, but their eagerness is not well explained by the unexpectedness of the information.
Thus, the correct answer is thrilled about(Choice C)and elated by(Choice E).
