8. Most of Watteau’s nineteenth-century admirers simply ignored the (i)___ background of the works they found so lyrical and charming. Those who took the (ii)___ historical facts into consideration did so only in order to (iii)___ the widely held deterministic view that the content and style of an artist’s work were absolutely dictated by heredity and environment.

BLANK1	BLANK2	BLANK3
A grim	D inconvenient	G refute
B obsolescent	E compatible	H exaggerate
C ludicrous	F longstanding	I review

这题选ADG。。。想问一下这句话到底讲的是什么意思？？能不能讲解一下为什么这么选？？方便的话翻译一下这句话哈...

9. The legislation of a country recently considered a bill designed to reduce

the (i)___ inherent in the ownership of art by specifying certain conditions

that must be met before an allegedly stolen work of art can be reclaimed by a

plaintiff. The bill places the burden of proof in reclamation litigation entirely

on the plaintiff, who must (ii)___ that the holder of an item knew at the time

of purchase that it had been stolen. Therefore, the bill creates a uniform

national statute of (iii)___ for reclamation of stolen cultural property.

BLANK1	BLANK2	BLANK3
A uncertainty	D demonstrate	G limitations
B redundancy	E avoid	H enhancements
C availability	F speculate	I specificity

这题选ADG，，想问一下第三个空为什么不能选I。specificity应该也有明确的意思啊，可以理解成creat 了一个一致的且明确的国家法规啊...而且前文中不还有specifying，我觉得貌似有点呼应的意思...

Most of Watteau’s nineteenth-century admirers simply ignored the (i)_grim__ background of the works they found so lyrical and charming. Those who took the (ii)_inconvenient__ historical facts into consideration did so only in order to (iii)__refute_ the widely held deterministic view that the content and style of an artist’s work were absolutely dictated by heredity and environment.

确实是从LSAT的阅读文章里改来的。

这是我的翻译：
大多数19世纪Watteau的崇拜者认为他的作品热情饱满而吸引人，然而却忽视了他的创作的残酷背景。（背景知识可以通过阅读LSAT的整篇文章看到）那些考虑了这个让人不舒服的史实的人们这样做，仅仅是为了驳斥这样一个被广泛持有的决定论：艺术家的作品的内容和形式完全由遗传和环境所决定。

这道题我是这样考虑的：
i 的突破口是so lyrical and charming 和 simply ignored的强烈对比，
由于只关注了作品的好，而忽视了作品创作时不好的背景。

ii 的突破口是only in order to... ，
“仅仅是为了... ”，而且longstanding这个选项跟题目没什么关系。

iii 的突破口是第一句话，已经告诉我们作品很好很激情很吸引人，而当时的环境非常不好。
所以是用来驳斥那个环境决定论。



这道题确实有难度。

第二题，颁布这个法令

我们看到前面说了要想追回失窃的艺术品，必须得由原告充分证明才能有效。
The bill places the burden of proof in reclamation litigation entirely on the plaintiff, who must (ii)___ that the holder of an item knew at the time of purchase that it had been stolen

这项法案把追回（艺术品）的诉讼的取证的压力完全丢给了原告。原告必须证明艺术品的持有者，在交易的时候知道它是被偷的。

选limitations更加合理。specificity是“特性，特征”的意思，“详情，细节”是它的同根单词specific。
而且这里更加强调的是“限制”这个含义。
