问题 Read’s apology to Heflin was not exactly abject and did little to (i)_______ their decades-long quarrel, which had been as (ii)_______ as the academic etiquette of scholarly journals permitted.
选项 A、encourage…sporadic
B、dampen…courteous
C、obscure…ceremonious
D、resolve…acrimonious
E、blur…sarcastic
答案 D
解析 空格(i)：
- 方程等号：and连接平行结构，同义重复。not取反。little取反。
- 强词和对应：and前面的内容说Read对Heflin的道歉算不上真正的卑微，即道歉没有用。所以and后面应该也说道歉没有用，体现道歉对他们几十年的争吵(quarrel)没有(little)“缓解”。encourage鼓励，dampen抑制，obscure掩盖，resolve解决，blur使模糊。 选项B、C和D合适。
空格(ii)：
- 方程等号：which引导的定语从句修饰quarrel，描述quarrel的特点，同义重复。
- 强词和对应：根据quarrel的释义：when two or more people quarrel，they have an angry argument，即生气的争论，空格(ii)和quarrel取同，填入一个负向词。sporadic断断续续的(错)，courteous有礼貌的(错)，ceremonious隆重的(错)，acrimonious尖酸刻薄的(对)，sarcastic讽刺的(对)。综合空格(i)，答案选D。
