问题 Although strikes remain rarer in Britain than in many other European countries, and their economic impact is (i)________compared to the great upheavals of the 1970s and 1980s, their number has (ii)________after a few years of somewhat greater calm.
Blank (i)       Blank (ii)
A. inconclusive D. exploded
B. demoralizing E. declined
C. negligible   F. revived

选项

答案C,F

解析 反义线索题。逻辑连接词是although,表示前后让步转折。句首说尽管罢工(strikes)在英国依然比在其他欧洲国家少见(rarer),空格(i)表示其经济影响相对于20世纪70年代和80年代的大动荡(the great upheavals)是怎样的。compared to表示对比关系,所以空格(i)对great upheavals取反即可,C项negligible符合语义。再看转折部分:然而其数量在经历了几年稍长的平静后开始(ii)________。既然前面说罢工少,那么转折后应该表达罢工多的含义。D项exploded(爆发)与F项revived(复苏)都符合语义。注意题目时态,前面已经明确说明strikes remain rarer,空格(ii)是一个现在完成时结构,前后处于同一时间,所以不能选择D选项“爆发”,应当选择F。
