问题1选项
A.lukewarm…condemned
B.scathing...exposed to
C.lackluster...rescued from
D.sensitive...reduced to
考查词义辨析和句意理解。A项lukewarm“微温的,无兴趣的”,condemn“指责,谴责”;B项scathing“严厉的”, expose to“暴露于”;C项lackluster“无光泽的,无生气的”,rescue from“从……营救”;D项sensitive“敏感的”,reduce to“减少,缩减到”。review in the press和critics是对应的,所以第一空和critics的观点应该一致,和观众的意见相反。观众的意见是enthusiastic“热情的”,所以必然要否定oblivion“遗忘”,从第二空来看,只有C可能表示否定oblivion。句意:尽管媒体的评论很 ,但她演奏的作品被热情的观众从注定被遗忘的结局里 ,听众比评论家更敏锐。所以C项符合。
