1.hybrid 与simpler and faster对应。前后关系为A was abandoned and we choose B.
第一空应该选择in favor of 的同义词，而第二空应选择attempt同义词。
reinforce . . method更佳。
2.同属同义重复。这也体现了ETS逻辑的严密性。
history是success的，后面承接conclude也应是基于正面性的note。triumphal最佳。
第二空同样选择修饰note，填入the basis of subsequent inquiries by later researchers的同义词即可，ascendancy最佳。
