This journalistic campaign was initially (i)_____, appealing to readers sense of communal duty, and became even more (ii)_____ once the war started, as smallpox outbreaks began to occur on Philadelphia’s outskirts.
解析
答案:
AE
解析:
even more能看出前后兩個空格有遞進關(guān)系,appearing to說明剛開始只是一種勸告,吸引大家做這件事,后來變得緊急了。
So,符合這個遞進關(guān)系的是AE選項。hortatory勸告的,urgent緊迫的。
其他選項:ineffective無效的,widespread廣泛傳播的,controversial有爭議的,inopportune不合適的。
翻譯:
在內(nèi)戰(zhàn)開始的前幾年,美國費城非裔美國人新聞社鼓勵讀者們接種天花疫苗。這項宣傳運動本來是為了激起人們的公眾責(zé)任感知,后來戰(zhàn)爭開始后甚至變得更加緊迫起來,因為費城的郊區(qū)已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)了天花感染病例。
