请问第二空的 uncritically accepted    怎么得出的？
The most striking thing about the politician is how often his politics have been____ rather than ideological , as he adapts his political at any particular moment to the political realities that constrain him. He does not, however, piously ___ political principles only to betray them in practice. Rather, he attempts in subtle ways to balance his political self-interest with a ____ viewing himself as an instrument of some unchanging higher purpose.

(ii) brindish flout follow
(iii) profound cynicism，deeply felt moral code，thoroughgoing pragmatism

请问第二空的brandish 得出的？这里的 only to 意思的转折吗

第一题比较明显，By contest前后两句取反，第二空和as extraneous成取反对应关系

lz先说一下两题的答案吧
1. bolster    uncritically accepted         peripheral
2.quixotic    brindish      thoroughgoing pragmatism
答案是这样的吗？第二题做着有点困难

only to有转折的意思，意为  没想到会，不料竟会....
第二题第一空是根据as那句话做的，同义；第二空就是根据only to betray取反；第三空是根据however那句做的。不知道这样对不对？

其实这个题最麻烦的是第二个空，但是第二个空做不出来不怪自己，这个一会说：首先第一空，rather than ideological，那空填的就是“非ideological”，也就是C：strategic。再看第三个空：空格后面的是说：从长远来看他的针织态度是不变的，结合空所在的句子，就是说他只是适时的改一下策略，(G) profound cynicism太极端，I方向不定，只有H（这个靠语感应该也能做）。最后第二个：rather表示前后两句方向相反，后面说了，是：从长远来看他的针织态度是不变的，那这里就是变得，因此选择一个单词表示改变；目测貌似没有，brandish是挥舞的意思，这就是红宝的问题了……查英英字典是解释为：move or swing back and forth。。。这些你就明白了吧   从百度找的
