Blank (i)     Blank (i)
A. defensive  D. a traditional
B. dominant   E. an enhanced
C. customary  F. a diminished

选项

答案A

解析 先做空格(i),forced to accept interference from the government(被迫接受政府的干预)这个分词短语修饰British business owners(英国的企业老板),表明这些企业老板所处的状态。企业老板们被迫接受政府的干预,说明他们处于不利的状态,空格(i)填入表示“处于不利状态”的词,所以选A项defensive(防守的)。再做空格(ii)所在部分的逻辑连接词为and,表并列,并列的两个部分语义相同,即to accept:interference from the government(被迫接受政府的干预)与to acquiesce to(ii)________role for labor unions in negotiating the terms and conditions of the employment两个部分语义相同。被迫接受政府的干预说明企业老板处于不利的地位,因此同意工会在协商雇佣的条款与条件时(ii)________的作用也应该体现企业老板处于不利的地位。显然工会在协商时的作用很大对于企业老板而言是不利的,所以空格(ii)填入表示工会“作用很大”的词,选E项an enhanced(提高的,增强的)。先做空格(i),from broken bones to liver complaints (从骨折到肝病)说明的是空格(i)的范围,因此空格(i)选A项malady(疾病)。
