问题 Unlike most other serious journals, which drain money from their owners, the Review has long been (i)________. But the formula is not without its imperfections, which have grown more pronounced in recent years. The publication has always been erudite and (ii)________but not always lively and readable. (iii)________, accompanied by a certain aversion to risk taking, has pervaded its pages for a long time.
Blank (i)    Blank (ii)       Blank (iii)
A. lucrative D. authoritative G. An originality
B. realistic E. animated      H. An impulsiveness
C. esteemed  F. trendy        I. A staleness

选项

答案A,D,I

解析 空格(i)的逻辑连接词是unlike,表示前后对比关系。前句说其他期刊drain money from their owners(耗尽所有者财富),而Review期刊一直以来________。要构成对比,空格(i)应该表达“赚钱”的含义,A项1ucrative(有利可图的)符合。第二句完整,说Review期刊也有不完美之处(not without its imperfections)。空格(ii)所在句子的逻辑连接词是but,表转折。but前说出版物总是博学的(erudite)并且________,但并不总是生动易读。我们将D、E、F选项逐一代入:E选项表示“活跃的”,如果选择E则前后矛盾,例如尽管总是生动,但并不总是生动;F选项表示“时髦的”,能够流行的东西一定是通俗易懂的,这也与后面not always readable矛盾,而且注意trendy在形容idea的时候带有贬义的成分,韦氏对trendy的解释是:marked by ephemeral, superficial, or faddish appeal or taste,所以符合选择的只有D项authoritative,表示“权威的”。再看空格(iii),accompanied…属于分词短语作状语,表示之前内容的状态。空格(iii)对应aversion to risk taking(反对冒险),因此I项staleness(陈腐)最符合。
