问题 The slow pace of job creation was without precedent for the period of recovery from a recession, but the conditions that conspired to cause the recession were also (i)________. The stock market declined sharply, and rampant business investment slumped. Then an ensuing spate of scandals (ii)________public trust in the way companies were run. And yet, despite these powerful (iii)________ to growth, the recession proved surprisingly mild.
Blank (i)     Blank (ii)      Blank (iii)
A. heartening D. weakened     G. counterforce
B. atypical   E. illuminated  H. stimulants
C. ambiguous  F. consolidated I. concomitants

选项

答案B,D,G

解析 先看空格(i),逻辑连接词是also。前面说经济恢复期间创造新工作的速度之慢without precedent(前所未有),后面说共同引起经济萧条的条件也是________的。显然这里空格与前面的without precedent同义重复,选择“前所未有”的含义即可,选B项atypical(异常的)。第二句说股票市场暴跌,并且之前狂热的商业投资锐减。紧接着一系列丑闻________公众信任。空格(ii)指代scandals对public trust发出的动作,显然是负向动作,只有D项weakened(削弱)符合。再看空格(iii),逻辑连接词是these,表示指代重复,前后语义相同。these powerful to growth中these指代前面的“股市暴跌、投资锐减、丑闻不断”,空格表达这些负面信息对复苏发出的动作,明显是负向作用,选项中符合预期的只有G项counterforce(反作用力)。
