请教下面这道题:
Section 14
NO.7
Nineteenth-century scholars, by examining earlier geometric Greek art, found that
classical Greek art was not a magical ____ or a brilliant ____ blending Egyptian and
Assyrian art, but was independently evolved by Greeks in Greece.
(B)exemplar...synthesis
(E)apparition...amalgam
(只列出存疑选项)(答案是E)
疑问(1):
第二空应是“混合物”的同义词,而synthesis和amalgam的确无法分辨,
这两个词的韦氏解释如下:
synthesis:
a : the composition or combination of parts or elements so as to form a whole
b : the production of a substance by the union of chemical elements, groups, or simpler compounds or by the degradation of a complex compound
c : the combining of often diverse conceptions into a coherent whole
