It wasn’t (7)_____ the late 20th century that countries began to (8)_____ large, permanent, all-volunteer armed forces that were carefully (9)_____ and trained for combat. Britain was the first, when it phased out conscription in 1962. In 1975, the United States followed (10)_____. For over a century, conscription has been seen (11)_____ the way to remain (12)_____ strong without breaking the bank.

Within a decade, an army of professionals begins to pay (15)_____. The professionals are not only more (16)_____ on the battlefield, but are also, if carefully (17)_____ (for education and aptitude) more likely to constantly develop better ways to (18)_____ This produces a tremendous battlefield (19)_____ It doesn’t make you (20)_____, but it does make you very difficult to defeat.
选项
A、invariable
B、invincible
C、robust
D、rigorous
答案
B
解析
选项"invincible"(战无不胜)在本句中与其后面由"but"一词引导的成分形成对立对比关系。"but"一词所引导的部分的大意是:"但是确实可以做到极难被打败(...very difficult to defeat)"。"but"前面部分的含义只能是:"虽然这种优势不能确保战无不胜(invincible)"。只有在这样的语意内容的条件下,"but"前后的部分才能构成一种对立对比关系。在解题时要注意对立对比关系。
