2017GRE填空模拟题：作者用事实说话

The author clearly supports the causes he writes about, but he is more a narrator than (i)___ . Some say he should have included more (ii)___ , but he is wise to let the fact speak for themselves. They are complex enough to prompt many kinds of interpretation, and he would bog down the complicated tale if he tried to adjudicate all of their competing claims.

Blank (i)

Blank (ii)

A. a reporter

D. statistical data

B. an advocate

E. analysis of events

C. an adversary

F. detailed descriptions

选 BE

翻译：作者当然相信他所写的那些原因，但他更多是在叙述而非鼓吹那些观点。有人说他应加入更多对事件的分析，但他聪明地用事实说话。材料足够复杂，可以有各种解读，如果他尝试裁判所有不同意见的观点，会令本已复杂的叙述陷入泥潭，难以推进。

reporter 书记员，记者

advocate 拥护者，辩护者，鼓吹者，支持者

adversary (竞争中的)对手

prompt 激起，鼓舞，提醒，提示

bog something down 使某物陷入泥潭，使陷入困境无法前进

adjudicate 裁判，裁断
