问题 For many years, Americans have had a love affair with ferryboats. Ferries are said to relieve our frayed nerves after we’ve stewed in bumper-to-bumper traffic, and conventional wisdom also says ferries (i)______ congestion and air pollution by getting us out of our cars. Unfortunately, this romantic but (ii)______ notion recently has (iii)______ several West Coast mayors, who have in consequence eagerly pursued the implementation of ferry service in their cities.
Blank (i)                Blank (ii)                Blank (iii)
A. contribute to         D. provocative            G. captivated
B. reduce              E. misguided             H. confused
C. cover up             F. cynical                I. outraged
选项
答案 B，E，G
解析 空格(i)：
- 方程等号：also也，同义重复。
- 强词和对应：第二句话中are said to之后的部分是对ferries渡船的正面评价，第三行的says之前的正向方程等号also暗示我们says之后的部分也应该是对ferries的正面评价。contribute to导致，reduce减轻，cover up掩盖，只有B选项填入之后构成的短语reduce congestion缓解交通堵塞是正面评价，故选B。
空格(iii)：
- 方程等号：in consequence所以，同义重复。
- 强词和对应：定语从句说那些市长因而热切地在他们的城市中追求实施渡船服务，故主句中应该描述渡船对他们产生了一种正面影响，如吸引、诱惑、说服等。纵观选项captivated使倾心，confused使迷惑，outraged使生气，只有G选项符合要求，故选G。
空格(ii)：
- 方程等号：but但是，反义重复。
- 强词和对应：根据负向的方程等号but，可知空格(ii)应该填一个和romantic反向的负向词，据此可以排除provocative挑衅的。剩下的misguided具有误导性的，cynical愤世嫉俗的，虽然都是负向，但只有misguided能够和之后的captivate诱导、使倾心形成呼应。故选E。
