问题 Although movie critic Pauline Kael had the distaste for sycophancy, he also had the need for (i)________, and as a consequence of his competing feelings, he often showed a (ii)_________signals to his relatives and friends.
Blank (i)    Blank (ii)
A. solitude  D. mixed
B. obeisance E. direct
C. clarity   F. subtle
选项
答案B,D
解析 空格(i)的逻辑连接词是although，表让步转折，让步与转折的部分语义相反。让步的部分说这个批评家对sycophancy (谄媚，奉承)很反感，转折的部分说，然而他还有(i)________的需求。空格(i)应该表达喜欢sycophancy的含义，B项obeisance(尊重，尊崇)最符合，意思是尽管他不喜欢溜须拍马，但希望别人都顺从他。空格(ii)的逻辑连接词是as a consequence，表因果，前后同义，这里his competing feelings指代前面的a distaste for sycophancy和the need for obeisance，针对前面提到的电影评论家既不喜欢别人溜须拍马，又希望别人对他毕恭毕敬的这种状态，这种“矛盾、混杂的信号”对应空格选项，D项mixed(混杂的)符合。有同学空格(ii)选择subtle，认为“精妙的”这一含义也符合题意。subtle：having or showing skill at recognizing and understanding things that are not obvious，在题目中语义并不合适。正如前面刚刚提到的，要注重语境含义，而不是单纯套用中文释义。最后，再提醒大家一点：competing这个词不要错误地理解为“竞争的”，而是“纠结的，对立的，矛盾的”。
