A.preparation...passionate
B.artfulness...disengaged
C.dabbling...superficial

答案选的C,不过后面半句话已经说了这个人的作品很impressive,为什么第二个空还选superficial啊,这不是矛盾了么?

A.scintillating
B.unambiguous
C.perspicuous
D.stultifying
E.facetious
答案选的A,不过我想知道这句话怎么理解,never tell a story而且又always forgot,这不是说明这个人表达能力不好么,怎么后面又跟一句witticism?
麻烦解释一下.我不懂这句话的意思啊.

问题解答：

我来补答

1.第一题
That she seemed to prefer____ to concentrated effort is undeniable（考点是prefer sth to sth,后者是concertrated ：专注的,则前者与之应该是相反的意思即 dabbling：涉猎）
her actual relationship to her art was anything but____（be anything but 意思是：根本不是）
整句翻译就是：她似乎相较于专注的努力更喜欢涉猎百家,这是无可厚非的,然而,她完成的令人钦佩的画画作品却表明她与她作品的关系根本不是肤浅的.
所以选C.
2.第二题
she could never tell a story,chiefly because she always forgot it,and she was never guity of a witticism,unless by accident（翻译为：他从来不会讲故事,主要是他经常会忘了,而且他从来不会觉得妙语连珠是有罪的,除非偶尔.）这表明这个人讲话真诚,不编故事,而且妙语连珠,所以说他的对话是scintillating:才华横溢的.
所以选A.
