问题 The poet W. H. Auden believed that the greatest poets of his age were almost necessarily irresponsible, that the possession of great gifts (i)____ the (ii)____ to abuse them.

选项 A、negates…temptation
B、controls…resolution
C、engenders…propensity
D、tempers…proclivity
E、obviates…inclination

答案C

解析 - 方程等号:逗号,同义重复,greatest poets和great gifts同义重复,体现诗人的“天赋”,abuse和irresponsible同义重复。因此空格(i)和空格(ii)联动,取同,体现诗人“不负责”的行为。
空格(i)+空格(ii):
- 如果空格(ii)为负向,体现“没有滥用”,那么空格(i)为负向词,体现“否定”“没有”“滥用” 选项中没有这种可能性,排除。
- 如果空格(ii)为正向,体现“滥用”,那么空格(i)为正向词,体现“确实”“有”“滥用”,即和irresistible同义重复。代入选项,negate否定…temptation诱惑;control控制…resolution决心;engender产生…propensity倾向;temper缓和…proclivity倾向;obviate消除…inclination倾向。因为第二空都是正向词,而选项A、B、D和E的空格(i)都是负向词,答案选C。
