The journalist was someone whose habitual distrust of authority struck a few people as
(i)______
distrust struck people as (i)
but who had enough talent and charm that most found the trait to be (ii)______, with the result that it did not become a personal or professional liability.
trait is (ii)
由 strike ... as ... 以及 But ... talent and charm ... 填进自己的话 (i) = BAD, (ii) = GOOD
然后找答案
C. opportune 意思反了
B. inadvertent 形容 habitual distrust of authority 不适当
留下 A. pathological
D. regrettable 反了
F. confusing 反了
E. pardonable 虽然并不太符合一开始的设想(GOOD),但至少是答案中最 NEUTRAL 的一个
然后从头到尾读一遍看下是否通顺,发现第二空本来就要填 NOT BAD,因为后面的句子 “with the result that it did not become a personal or professional liability.” 在强调的就是 not liability。
