问题 After rising continuously over the summer, commodity prices fell, leaving analyst wondering whether the downward trend is a turning point or merely a ________ before demand picks up in the winter months.
A. spike
B. upsurge
C. harbinger
D. portent
E. lull
F. respite
选项
答案 E，F
解析 -方程等号：before时间对比，反义重复。
-强词和对应：文中提到日用品价格在持续上涨一个夏天之后，下降了，这就使得研究员好奇，这种下降的趋势到底是一个转折点还是在冬天需求上涨前的空格，强词是picks up，指向空格，根据before反义重复，空格应填入picks up的反义词。选项里有三组同义词，第一组是spike与upsurge上升，第二组是harbinger与portent预示，第三组是lull与respite暂缓，所以答案选择EF。
