To the avid reader of E.O. Wilson, much of his most recent book Consilience:
The Unity of Knowledge will be (i)_____, as the book represents the
culmination of a life spent thinking about everything from the social lives
of ants to the social lives of people. Nonetheless, new thoughts have been
mixed in with the old to produce a book remarkable for its (ii)_____ and
ambition.

A. predictable  D. purview
B. discounted   E. overreaching
C. startling    F. contigency

ANS: BE

這題想不懂答案為何是BE,第一空感覺要填正向的,選了C.
第二空感覺也是要填正向詞,但不懂為何是E.

謝謝板上大大解答!

→ q22554647   : 因為有轉折 所以第一格要填負向詞吧
→ q22554647   : 第二格我就不知道為何要選E了 我個人會選D
推 BrettL      : 第一空要反映 old代表的不新鮮，因為一個avid reade
→ BrettL      : r想必看過了，所以要選 predictable。第二空需要名
→ BrettL      : 詞，所以 overreaching是錯的(是 不是overreach)。
→ BrettL      :  是remarkable因為包羅萬象，所以 purview (範圍)
→ BrettL      : 比較搭配 ambitious
