问题    Amongst a multiplicity of other topics, we took occasion to talk of the different characters of the several 【C1】______ of Europe; when one of the gentlemen, cocking his hat, and【C2】______ such an air of importance as if he had possessed all the【C3】______ of the English nation in his own person. He【C4】______ that the Dutch were a parcel of avaricious wretches; the French a of【C5】______ sycophants; that the Germans were drunken sots, and【C6】______ gluttons; and the Spaniards proud, haughty, and surly【C7】______ ; but that in bravery, generosity, clemency, and in【C8】______ other virtue, the English excelled all the rest of the【C9】______ .
【C5】
选项 A、discouraging
B、flattering
C、encouraging
D、whispering
答案B
解析 答案是B。答此题有个难点，即：横线之后sycophants一词是个陌生词。更糟糕的是，从表面看来又没有清晰的语境作参照，那就只能从跟随declared that之后作者对四个国家的人的综合描述寻摸线索了。再一扫作者对Dutch，the French，the Germans，the Spaniards的总体描述，其描述均属贬义，故可断定漏词肯定是用来修饰贬义词sycophants的。接下来再看四个选项词：A、C、D三项的意思均不如B项的flattering更沾边儿，因此也就只能选B项了。另：sycophants的意思为“谗言者”。
