本句其實(shí)是在考查考生對于單詞同義關(guān)系的把握能力,首先由“although(盡管)”引出讓步狀語從句,所以我們應(yīng)該可以推斷出后邊的主句在感情基調(diào)上應(yīng)該是與從句意思相反。從這個(gè)角度來講,后邊的正確選項(xiàng)應(yīng)該為“pioneering”的反義詞,如A選項(xiàng)orthodox或E選項(xiàng)conventional。但是在主句中又有一個(gè)表示否定的詞“hardly(幾乎不能)”,hardly與從句中的although其實(shí)構(gòu)成了“雙重否定”,雙重否定可以理解為肯定,所以該主句中的形容詞應(yīng)該與從句的形容詞一致才符合正常邏輯。所以本題的正確答案應(yīng)該是C和F。
