问题 The sale of Alaska was not so much an American coup as a matter of (i)____ for an imperial Russia that was short of cash and unable to (ii)____ its own continental coastline.
选项 A、negligence…fortify
B、custom…maintain
C、convenience…stabilize
D、expediency…defend
E、exigency…reinforce
答案 D
解析 空格(ii)：
- 方程等号：and平行结构，同义重复。
- 强词和对应：short of cash(没有钱)和unable+空格(ii)同向，因此空格(ii)填入一个正向词，体现俄国不能“支持”它的海岸线。fortify加强，maintain维持，stabilize使稳定，defend保护，reinforce加强。空格(ii)中，5个选项都可以。
空格(i)：
- 方程等号：that引导定语从句，前后取同。
- 强词和对应：that后面说俄国缺钱而且无法捍卫其海岸线，所以空格(i)根据that取同，填入一个负向词。negligence疏忽(错)，custom惯例(错)，convenience便利(错，这是一个正向词)，expediency权宜之计(对)，exigency紧急(错)。答案选D。
