例 Ⅲ：

Like many eighteenth-century scholars who lived by cultivating those in power, Winckelman neglected to neutralize, by some ---------- gesture of comradeship, the resentment his peers were bound to feel because of his ---------- the high and mighty.

(A) quixotic ... intrigue with

(B) enigmatic ... familiarity with

(C) propitiatory ... involvement with

(D) salutary ... questioning of

(E) unfeigned ... sympathy for

〖解答〗

空格Ⅰ："by some...gesture"(通过某种 的姿态)标志着手段，"to neutralize the resentment"(去消解愤怒)则表示目的。手段与目的之间的关系可视作一种间接的因果关系， 而因果关系则意味着同义词关系，这样，从目的便可推知手段，即代入该空格的词汇须体现“消解愤怒”之意。则(C) propitiatory为恰当。空格Ⅱ：其后的"the high and mighty"指的是上文中的"those in power"，可将后者前的"cultivating"以名词形式移入，则求得其同义词(C) involvement。

〖词汇〗

cultivate: 建立(友谊)，结交朋友

neutralize: 使成为无效，抵消

be bound to :注定要

quixotic: 愚侠的，不切实际的，盲目空想的

propitiatory: 劝人息恕的，抚慰的，谋求他人好感的

unfeigned: 非假装的，真诚的
