选项 A、immune
B、resistant
C、sensitive
D、subject
答案 D
解析 本题要求判断选项中哪个形容词可以与介词to搭配，并作空格所在句子中be动词的表语。首先，四个形容词都可以和to搭配，如：immune to persuasion(不能被说服的)；resistant to corrosion(抗腐蚀的)；sensitive to criticism(对批评敏感的)；subject tocolds(容易感冒的)，关键看哪个能符合句意。空格所在句子是All theories are tentativeand are【C8】______to criticism。考生应注意句中由and连接的两个be动词后的表语都描述了主语所有理论的特点，因此是并列关系。把四个选项一一放入，只有subject to表达的容易受到批评和攻击与tentative表达的“试验性的、不确定的”在含义上近似，不确定就意味着容易遭受批评和攻击。
