问题 Politeness is not a (i)____ attribute of human behavior, but rather a central virtue, one whose very existence is increasingly being (ii)____ by the faddish requirement to “speak one’s mind.”
选项 A、superficial…threatened
B、pervasive…undercut
C、worthless…forestalled
D、precious…repudiated
E、trivial…affected
答案A
解析 空格(i)：
- 方程等号：not…but…不是…而是…，反义重复。
- 强词和对应：后文说礼貌是一个重要美德，因此空格(i)和central根据not…but…取反，体现“不重要”。superficial无关紧要的，pervasive普遍的，worthless没有价值的，precious宝贵的，trivial不重要的。A、C、E三项合适。
空格(ii)：
- 方程等号：one指代central virtue，并作其同位语，同义重复。
- 强词和对应：by后面提到流行的要求“有话直说”。faddish的释义是If you describe something as faddish，you mean that it has no real value and that it will not remain popular for very long。而politeness的释义是an act or utterance that is a customary show of good manners。在这里有话直说其实是一种不符合礼貌的行为，所以faddish requirement对于politeness是一个负向动作。threaten威胁(对)，undercut削弱(对)，forestall阻止(对)，repudiate否认(对)，affect影响(错)。forestall是终结性动作，不可能increasingly，排除选项C。综合空格(i)，答案选A。
