问题 The band’s long-standing strategy of laying leisurely explorations atop a steady funk beat has proven to be surprisingly______: a concert in Cologne from 1972 sounds as if it could have taken place today.
A fortuitous
B foresighted
C prescient
D popular
E serendipitous
F lucrative
选项
答案 B,C
解析 The colon indicates that the second part of the sentence supports the assertion made in the first part. Since this second part emphasizes the modern sound of the 1972 concert, the blank calls for choices that refer to the similarities between the band’s 1972 sound and music characteristic of more recent times. Both "foresighted" and "prescient" suggest that the band’s musical strategy anticipated the trends of the coming decades, so they are the correct choice. Of the other responses, "fortuitous" and "serendipitous" are similar in meaning, but they do not fit well with the word "surprisingly," nor with the emphasis on the band’s having a long-term strategy. Neither "popular" nor "lucrative" have a synonym among the other choices; moreover, they too go beyond the sentence’s emphasis on the band’s seemingly timeless style.
Thus the correct answer is foresighted(Choice B)and prescient(Choice C).
