Blank (i)      Blank (ii)                                  Blank (iii)
A. problematic D. were suitable only for certain locations G. source for
B. profitable  E. inspired a variety of new technologies   H. adjunct to
C. versatile   F. required a good deal of upkeep           I. return on

选项

答案B,D,I

解析 对比类题目。whereas,however都是比较明确的表示反义的词汇。通读句子发现空格(ii)最好做,whereas表示前后反义关系,所以这里直接将built virtually everywhere取反即可,所以选择D项were suitable only for certain locations。接下来解决空格(iii),空格(iii)前面在说water mill好的容纳能力和可靠性(great capacity and reliability),这是一个正评价,那么空格(iii)一定也填入一个正评价的概念,所以选择I项return on(回报)。空格(iii)很多同学都会选择G选项,理由是G选项也是正评价:提供了一个资金的来源,这里要注意the money指的是建造水磨坊所需要的资金(required to build the mill),也就是说空格(iii)后面的money指的是建造成本,对于成本来说,只能是收获更好的回报,而不能说提供了成本的源头。所有错选G选项的同学,都犯了一个通病,对于空格属性分析不够明确,没有认真分析空格后的the money究竟指的是什么。在做题之前,一定要先分析清楚空格表示的是谁的属性,修饰的是谁,表示谁的动作等等,把信息分析全面之后再去做。不要拿到题目就去分析所谓线索词although,but之类的概念。空格(i)表示的是water mill比wind mill更加怎么样,结合空格(iii),选择B项profitable。
