选项

答案 M

解析 上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入形容词。可选范围为“complex(复杂的),cultivated(栽培的,有教养的),immoral (不道德的,邪恶的)”。此句与上句句式对等,但句意相反。上文Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming,意为“在美好事物中发现丑恶含义的人是堕落的,而且堕落得毫无魅力”,那么根据Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are________ “在美好事物中发现美的含义的人是________ 的",我们可以明确判断所填的词义与corrupt相反,故锁定答案cultivated。
