问题 After rising continuously over the summer, commodity prices fell, leaving analyst wondering whether the downward trend is a turning point or merely a ________ before demand picks up in the winter months.
A. spike
B. upsurge
C. harbinger
D. portent
E. lull
F. respite

选项

答案E,F

解析 -方程等号:before时间对比,反义重复。
-强词和对应:文中提到日用品价格在持续上涨一个夏天之后,下降了,这就使得研究员好奇,这种下降的趋势到底是一个转折点还是在冬天需求上涨前的空格,强词是picks up,指向空格,根据before反义重复,空格应填入picks up的反义词。选项里有三组同义词,第一组是spike与upsurge上升,第二组是harbinger与portent预示,第三组是lull与respite暂缓,所以答案选择EF。
