问题 Many of the unusual behaviors attributed to crows—such as drinking coffee or presenting gifts to people who feed them—are based on (i) ______ and therefore fall into the category of (ii) ______ rather than science.
Blank (i)                             Blank (ii)
A. long-term observations               D. anecdote
B. controlled experiments               E. speculation
C. secondhand testimony                F. hypothesis

选项

答案C,D

解析 空格(i):
- 方程等号:and并列,同义重复。
- 强词和对应:很多属于乌鸦的异常行为是基于空格(i)因此落入空格(ii)的范畴而非科学。由and并列结构可知两个空格是同方向的,又依据rather than可知空格(i)与science是反义重复,应填入表示“非科学的”。long-term observation长期观测,controlled experiment控制实验,secondhand testimony二手证词,答案选C。
空格(ii):
- 方程等号:rather than=not,前后取反。
- 强词和对应: 因此这些东西属于空格(ii)的范畴而非科学。本题的强词是science指向空格(ii),依据rather than取反,可知空格(ii)应填入一个表示“不科学”的词。anecdote奇闻轶事,speculation猜测,hypothesis理论假说,此时只能排除F。再由and可知两个空格同方向,答案选D。
