问题 The Red Sea town of Aydhab presents scholars with________: medieval records describe it as a major port for ships engaged in trade, yet today there is no trace of a viable harbor at the site.
A. an illusion
B. a contradiction
C. a chimera
D. a puzzle
E. an anachronism
F. a conundrum
选项
答案D,F
解析 逻辑连接标志是冒号，表示前后同义重复。前面说红海小镇向学者呈现了一，冒号后说中世纪的记录描述它是一个主要的贸易货运港口，然而今天我们在这个地方却找不到一点关于可能存在的港口的踪迹(trace)。在以前记录中是港口，而现今却找不到港口踪迹，体现了现实和以前记录的矛盾，因此空格中填入能够体现现实与记录相矛盾的词。B项a contradiction(一个矛盾)似乎可以，但是没有同义词。因此，只能选表示“谜团”的词，D项a puzzle和F项a conundrum符合要求。
