Critics charge that the regulatory agency, having never defined what constitutes an untenable risk, has grown (i) ______ outside influences on that issue: several experts have (ii) ______ it recently for allowing one power plant to delay an inspection for more than six weeks despite compelling safety concerns.
Blank (i) Blank (ii)
(A) susceptible to (D) complimented
(B) unaware of (E) panned
(C) irritated at (F) overlooked
这道题第一空答案是(A)感觉很不合理啊
既然易受影响的,敏感的,那就应该会做出改变啊
我在背单词过程中发现有些单词的多重意思会互相矛盾,褒义贬义都有,
比如rave, 既有 to talk irrationally in or as if in delirium 又有to talk with extreme enthusiasm
又比如deplorable 既有悲惨的,又有可鄙的
还有redoubtable既有 causing fear or alarm 又有worthy of respect
具体在句子中要根据语义来区分,但有时候真的很难区分,而且感觉很奇怪
having never defined what constitutes an untenable risk说明regulatory agency本身是有问题的,有点不能尽责的意味, allowing one power plant to delay an inspection....despite compelling safety concerns更进一步说明这个机构本身的不作为. 从这些线索可以推出,这个agency易受外部干扰和影响,因而不能发挥职责.

第二个空是overlooked 的吗?
讨论讨论:
several experts 是 outside influence的同意重复, 然后 第二个空后面的意思说明 experts失职,那么,就导致critics对experts是否定的态度。所以第一个空三个中,语气适合,含有否定意思的susceptible to 。这个推理是基于 第二空是overlook哈。
昏啊,讨论挺有意思的,为啥是pan, 看不出如果是 experts pan的话,这句和前一句有啥关系啊, pan it, 这个it 就是后面allowing one power to delay。。。。那experts和outside infulences啥关系啊,以为是同意重复,看来不是啊,5555----
