问题 The senator’s attempt to convince the public that he is not interested in running for a second term is (i)______ given the extremely (ii)______ fund-raising activities of his campaign committee.

选项 A、futile...clandestine
B、sincere...visible
C、specious...apathetic
D、disingenuous...public
E、straightforward...dubious

答案D

解析 空格(i)+空格(ii):
- 方程等号:given因为,同义重复。
- 强词和对应:根据题意,后文描述他的竞选委员会进行具有空格(ii)特征的集资活动,fund-raising activities of his campaign committee和running for a second term构成同义重复体现竞选。空格(i)和空格(ii)根据given形成联动。
- 如果空格(ii)和not interested in构成同义重复,体现他对竞选是“不感兴趣的”态度,即“不想”竞选,那么空格(i)为正向,体现他对竞选没兴趣的心态是“合理的”。空格(ii)的选项中,clandestine秘密的,apathetic冷漠的,dubious不可靠的,都是负向词。但是选项A和C的空格(i)中,futile无效的,specious假的,都是负向词,排除A和C。而E选项代入句意,因为他竞选委员会进行的筹款不靠谱,所以他对连任不感兴趣,如果不感兴趣,应该就不会有筹款,所以句意矛盾,排除E。
- 如果空格(ii)和not interested in构成反义重复,体现他对竞选是“感兴趣的”态度,即他“想”竞选,那么空格(i)为负向,体现他对竞选不感兴趣的心态是“不合理的”。空格(ii)的选项中,visible可见的,public公开的,都是正向词。但是选项B的空格(i)中,sincere真诚的,正向词,排除B,而D选项的空格(i)为disingenuous不真诚的,负向,正确,答案选D。
