问题 Twenty years ago, when the book was first published, most reviewers dismissed the author’s predictions as (i)________. Sometimes people (ii)________their errors: those same reviewers today, comparing the predictions with actual events, acknowledge how (iii)________the author was.
Blank (i)     Blank (ii)      Blank (iii)
A. insightful D. persevere in G. mistaken
B. judicious  E. recognize    H. prescient
C. alarmist   F. complicate   I. pessimistic
选项
答案C,E,H
解析 非常典型的时间点前后对比类题目。首先来看空格(i)，要了解一个结构：dismiss sth.…as…意思是：把……视作……而不予考虑。既然人们不再考虑the author’s predictions，就证明在人们眼中，这是一个不好的东西，所以空格(i)应填入一个负评价词，因此选择C项alarmist(危言耸听的)。空格(ii)相对来说略难一些，直接看空格(iii)，这里说这些评论家承认(acknowledge)了作者是非常(iii)________的。既然这里用了“承认”一词，说明这些评论家改变了自己的观点，之前对作者负评价，现在就应该是正评价，所以空格(iii)选择H项prescient。冒号引导对于前面内容的解释，后面说这些相同的评论家们(those same reviewers)承认作者的预测有先见之明，所以空格(ii)要体现出这些人承认自己错了，选择E项recognize。
