问题 It was not only the (i)____ of geologists that (ii)____ earlier development of the revolutionary idea that the Earth’s continents were moving plates; classical physicists, who could not then explain the mechanism, had declared continental movement impossible.

选项 A、indecisiveness…challenged
B、radicalism…deterred
C、conservatism…hindered
D、assumptions…hastened
E、resistance…mandated

答案 C

解析 空格(ii):
- 方程等号:分号,同义重复。
- 强词和对应:后文说经典物理学家声称大陆移动是不可能的,idea that the Earth’s continents were moving plates和continental movement同义重复,指大陆漂移。impossible指向空格(ii),根据分号取同,体现地质学家认为大陆漂移是“不可能的”,填入一个负向词。challenge质疑,deter阻止,hinder阻碍,hasten加速,mandate命令。A、B、C三项合适。
空格(i):
- 方程等号:of介词结构修饰空格(i),同义重复。
- 强词和对应:根据空格(ii)得知地质学家认为大陆移动这种革命性学说的发展是“不可能的”(impossible),因此这些人是“反对”革命性的发展的。空格(i)根据of取同,应该体现对革命性(revolutionary)的反对。indecisiveness犹豫不决(错),radicalism激进主义(错),conservatism保守主义(对),assumption假设(错),resistance抵抗(对)。综合空格(ii),答案选C。
