求大神解答几道1200新填空！！
本帖最后由 WITTNEY 于 2018-11-23 16:19 编辑1.For a genre that’s supposed to be about the future, science fiction has certainly (i)_____ lately,
(ii)_____ is what sells best, with readers spending their money on sequels to long-running series.
A. become quite pessimistic D. suspense
B. been looking backward E. fantasy
C. anticipated technological developments F. nostalgia
答案：BF
不理解为什么第一空选B，哪里表示要取反了？第一句话说Sci-Fic应该是关于未来的，为啥第一空要填look backward?
2.The (i)______ current-generation solar cells are (ii)______: although experimental cells have
reached efficiencies greater than 40 percent, most commercially available cells in the early part of
the twenty-first century still struggle to get past about 20 percent.
A. attractions of D. clear
B. limitations of E. unmatched
C. improvements in F. misunderstood
答案：BD
虽然找到了原文也是BD
http://discovermagazine.com/2010/jul-aug/01-how-solar-power-become-cheaper-than-coal
但如果只看题的话，为什么current-generation就只指代commercially available cells呢？
我觉得current-generation应该是指both experimental & commercial cell啊，所以improvements in这两种电池是unmatched的。这也是make sense啊。
3. Unable to escape their own literary tradition, literary critics either become the ______ of that
tradition or, on the contrary, use their knowledge of it to reinterpret writers and trends from new
perspectives.
A. liberators
B. guardians
C. successors
D. antithesis
E. gadflies
答案：B
为什么不选C呢？我觉得如果选guardian的话，这道题应该要暗示这部分literary critics 是support tradition的，然而并没有。所以应该选C，不是么？
4.The notion’s ______ notwithstanding—it was first proposed by a Nobel Prize-winning physicist
—it was neglected for many years until some unexpected observations led to its revival.
A. pedigree
B. antecedents
C. precursors
D. origin
E. brilliance
F. novelty
答案: AD
请问这句话怎么理解？ it指代什么？两个破折号又是什么意思？
求大神讲解！！ 1.For a genre that’s supposed to be about the future, science fiction has certainly (i)_____ lately,
(ii)_____ is what sells best, with readers spending their money on sequels to long-running series.
A. become quite pessimistic D. suspense
B. been looking backward E. fantasy
C. anticipated technological developments F. nostalgia
先看后面哈，fantasy is what sells best，意思是，作为genre（文学书籍类型），fantasy这类卖的最快，而sci fi现在绝对是在下滑（looking backwards)
这个逻辑在于对比，卖得好的fantasy，市场不咋地的sci fi
不过，我是从答案强行解答的。。我也不喜欢这题，我的话估计也不太会选对一开始 2. 这个语气，虽然xxx但是xxx，重点在但是
虽然你很努力了，但是别的同事干得更好，要么你下岗？ 3
都guardian了还不是支持传统么？
这不是很明显么
successor的话是下一代，那得在这个基础上有所改变。 狐狸大叔 发表于 2018-11-25 11:07 static/image/common/back.gif
1.For a genre that’s supposed to be about the future, science fiction has certainly (i)_____ lately ...
亲，这道题不选BE，选BF 第一题的原文出处：
https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20026821-900-sci-fi-special-nick-sagan/
For a genre that’s about looking to the future, science fiction has sure been looking backwards lately. Nostalgia is what sells best, with readers spending their money on movie tie-in novels and sequels to long-running series.
翻译：Sci-Fic作为一种应该写未来的题材，近些年，却一直在往回看。那些怀旧体是卖的最好的，（因为）读者花了很多钱在小说改编的电影上和连载小说系列上。
我的问题是，这道题里，没有明确的反义提示词（But, However,Nonetheless，etc),那如何可以判断第一空要取反？
be supposed to有暗示取反的意思么？？
e.g. 他应该XXX，暗示他并没有XXX。 （我自己脑补的...) 本帖最后由 WITTNEY 于 2018-11-26 10:46 编辑

Successor的意思不是下一代，也不需要有所改变。意思是是继任者。
Webster定义：one that follows
问了几个native，说没见过successor of tradition/culture的讲法，即使你这么说也能明白。
一般用法是successor to sth, e.g. successor to the throne。 本帖最后由 WITTNEY 于 2018-11-26 10:44 编辑
非常感谢你的回复！
提供了很多不同的角度！

非常感谢你的回复！
提供了很多不同的角度！ 我前三题做对了
1，supposed to意思就是理论上应该怎样怎样，但是实际上并没有怎样怎样，所以取反
2，虽然少部分的实验性的cell好，但是most还在struggle，说明是有局限性的，
3，他们都逃不过这个tradition，所以要不他们就继续守护，要不就用这个东西去研究新角度了。（我翻译的估计不对）
第四题我做错了，也求解释~~ muyingliuyun 发表于 2018-11-28 10:40 static/image/common/back.gif

1. 科幻应该是看未来的，所以转折（supposed,本来应该是，但是现在却是）现在的科幻却是回头看，第二个空顺应回头看就是nostalgia，怀旧。
2. 冒号后面对前面进行解释，虽然什么电池超过沙沙，但是什么电池却不够。。。主干在后面，所以首句应该说的是主干的电池，也就是现在的太阳能电池就是21世纪早期的商业电池。
3.
既然不能逃出自己的传统，那么干脆要么做传统的捍卫者，要么去重新解释以前的文学作品
4。两个破折号解释the notions origin notwithstanding,尽管这个想法的起源很牛（是诺贝尔奖得者提出的），它（这个想法）却被人忽视了多年。。。
1.For a genre that’s supposed to be about the future, science fiction has certainly (i)_____ lately,（这里是句号！不是逗号）
(ii)_____ is what sells best, with readers spending their money on sequels to long-running series.
A. become quite pessimistic D. suspense
B. been looking backward E. fantasy
C. anticipated technological developments F. nostalgia

非常感谢！差不多搞明白了，就算不懂，也都背下来了。。{:3_62:}

我还以为certainly是对于supposed to do的肯定....科幻小说应该看未来，近年来人家也确实如此，买的最好的还是fantasy
