问题 Broadway audiences have become inured to (i)____ and so (ii)____ to be pleased as to make their ready ovations meaningless as an indicator of the quality of the production before them.

选项 A、sentimentality…reluctant
B、condescension…disinclined
C、histrionics…unlikely
D、cleverness…eager
E、mediocrity…desperate

答案 E

解析 空格(i):
- 方程等号:inured to的释义是to cause(someone)to be less affected by something unpleasant,表示习惯于令人不悦的事,前后同义重复。
- 强词和对应:因为百老汇的观众已经习惯于“unpleasant thing”,空格(i)为负评价,同时后文说这个作品让他们的掌声毫无意义(meaningless),因此空格(i)和meaningless取同,填入一个负向词。sentimentality多愁善感,condescension屈尊俯就,histrionics装腔作势,cleverness聪明,mediocrity平庸。选项B、C和E合适。
空格(ii):
- 方程等号:and平行结构,同义重复;so…as to…表示因果,同义重复。
- 强词和对应:后文说观众的掌声作为这个作品质量的指示是毫无意义的,根据空格(i)可知,他们已经习惯了这种“不好的”的表演。inured to指向空格(ii),根据and取同,体现对表演的“负评价”。reluctant勉强的,disinclined不情愿的,unlikely不可能的,eager渴望的,desperate绝望的(suffering extreme need or anxiety)。综合空格(i),答案选E。
