【C1】
选项 A、faint
B、meek
C、mild
D、weak
答案A
解析 词义辨析题。前文提到竞选美国总统是一件极耗精力(exceptionally arduous)的事情，因此可以判断空缺单词所在的词组______hearted应该是与之相反的意思。[A]faint意为“衰弱的，虚弱的，模糊的”，固定用法如faint of heart；[B]meek意为“温顺的”，用法如a meek child；[C]mild意为“温和的”，用法如has a mild disposition；[D]weak意为“无力的，疲软的”，用法如a weak stomach，history is my weakest subject。由此判断，正确答案为[A]，结合上下文，本句意思为竞选美国总统极耗精力，非胆怯之人能够担当。
