It wasn’t (7)_____ the late 20th century that countries began to (8)_____ large, permanent, all-volunteer armed forces that were carefully (9)_____ and trained for combat. Britain was the first, when it phased out conscription in 1962. In 1975, the United States followed (10)_____. For over a century, conscription has been seen (11)_____ the way to remain (12)_____ strong without breaking the bank. But the conscripts did not stay in uniform long enough to get really good at fighting. Britain and American were the first two nations to realize that conscription was so (13)_____ that the voters would pay extra to (14)_____ a professional force. Within a decade, an army of professionals begins to pay (15)_____. The professionals are not only more (16)_____ on the battlefield, but are also, if carefully (17)_____ (for education and aptitude) more likely to constantly develop better ways to (18)_____ This produces a tremendous battlefield (19)_____ It doesn’t make you (20)_____, but it does make you very difficult to defeat.
选项
A、invariable
B、invincible
C、robust
D、rigorous
答案
B
解析
选项"invincible"(战无不胜)在本句中与其后面由"but"一词引导的成分形成对立对比关系。"but"一词所引导的部分的大意是:"但是确实可以做到极难被打败(...very difficult to defeat)"。"but"前面部分的含义只能是:"虽然这种优势不能确保战无不胜(invincible)"。只有在这样的语意内容的条件下,"but"前后的部分才能构成一种对立对比关系。在解题时要注意对立对比关系。
