选项
A、rather
B、still
C、somehow
D、even
答案
A
解析
此题属于语意搭配题,考查副词含义的区别。选项rather表示"有点,相当"(to a moderate extent,quite),如:a rather cold day。下文中的somewhat揭示我们应选一个与其意义相近的词,故rather是正确答案。选项still表示"仍然"。选项somehow表示"用某种方式,总算",如:Somehow or other I was able to work it out.选项even表示"甚至",如:It is even colder today.全句可译为:苏格兰人被认为是严肃、谨慎、俭朴的,富有创意又有点儿神秘。
