问题 People of intelligence and achievement can nonetheless be so (i)______ and lacking in (ii)______ that they gamble their reputations by breaking the law to further their own ends.

选项 A、devious...propensity
B、culpable...prosperity
C、obsequious...deference
D、truculent...independence
E、greedy...integrity

答案E

解析 空格(i):
- 方程等号:so…that…因为太…所以…,同义重复。
- 强词和对应:that后描述人们用名誉做赌注,通过违反法律来推进他们的目标,所以第一空是应该填一个为了自身利益违反法律含义的词。devious狡猾的,culpable有罪,obsequious谄媚,truculent好斗,greedy贪婪的,只有B和E可以满足“为了自身利益违法”的含义。
空格(ii):
- 方程等号:and前后取同,lacking in取反。
- 强词和对应:and前面说这些人做了不好的事,lacking in取反,所以空格(ii)是正向词propensity倾向,prosperity繁荣,deference顺从,independence独立,integrity正直。选项B中prosperity不用来形容人,排除,所以答案选E。
