问题 Though we live in an era of stunning scientific achievement, many otherwise educated people remain indifferent to or contemptuous of such achievement, even going so far as to________their ignorance of basic physics.

选项 A、decry
B、conceal
C、remedy
D、boast of
E、downplay

答案D

解析 空格前的even在这里表示程度递进。even前面说:many otherwise educated people remain indifferent to or contemptuous of such achievement(许多人对这样的成就持冷漠或者蔑视的态度)。such achievement,scientific achievement(科学成就)与basic physics (基础物理学)同义对应,因此even之后________their ignorable of basic physics(________他们对基础物理的无知)体现对科学成就的无知即可。their ignorance of basic physics(他们对基础物理的无知)已经体现了对科学成就的负面态度,因此空格填入加强此态度的词,因此选D项boast of(以……为傲)。
