问题 The architects of New York’s early skyscrapers, hinting here at a twelfth-century cathedral, there at a fifteenth-century palace, sought to legitimize the city’s social strivings by (i)________ a history the city did not truly (ii)________.

选项 A、revealing…deserve
B、displaying…desire
C、evoking…possess
D、preserving…experience
E、flouting…believe

答案 C

解析 空格(i):
- 方程等号:by表示方式方法,同义重复。
- 强词和对应:前文说纽约早期摩天大楼的建筑家,暗示(hinting)这里是12世纪的教堂,那里是15世纪的宫殿,通过by得知here at a twelfth-century cathedral,there at a fifteenth-century palace和history同义重复。因此空格(i)和hinting取同,体现建筑师“暗示”历史。reveal揭露,display展现,evoke唤起,preserve保留,flout嘲笑。hint的释义是a statement conveying by implication what it is preferred not to say explicitly,而reveal和display都是直接的揭露,因此排除选项A和B。选项C合适。evoke的释义是to bring to mind or recollection。
空格(ii):
- 方程等号:by表示方式方法,同义重复。not取反。
- 强词和对应:the city指代New York。history体现之前的历史(12世纪和15世纪)。legitimize的中文释义为:证明…有理,英文释义为:to legitimize something,especially something bad,means to officially allow it,approve it,or make it seem acceptable。既然要让这段历史legitimize,所以空格(ii)体现这段历史是“不存在”的历史。deserve值得(错),desire渴望(错),possess拥有(对),experience经历(催),believe相信(错)。综合空格(i),答案选C。
