参考答案
正确答案:A
解析:语义题。由题干定位至首句“Bill Gates seems to relish being the skunk,it the garden party”,之后第二段解释了Bill Gates的行为表现“Mr.Gates.however,warned the participants not to celebrate too soon, lust because an u1 heath pilot scheme appears to work in sortie remote locale.he insisted,don’t‘fool yourself’into thinking it really works unless it can be replicated at scale.”,从句中的however可以看出,盖茨先生与其他参与者的态度有所不同,而句中又使用了fool yourself这样的话,对于听者而言十分不中听,会认为他泼冷水,令人讨厌,故[A]符合本处语义衔接关系。eccentric意为“奇怪的人”,这里没有谈到比尔?盖茨怪异的行为表现,[B]无依据;首段第二句提到“The former boss of Microsoft,now a global-health philanthropist-was invited to address a big‘m-health’conference in Washington,D.C.”,可见他不是组织者,排除[C];第二段首句“Mr.Gates,however,warned the participants not to celebrate too soon.”表明他持谨慎态度,显然也不是倡导者或拥护者,排除[D]。
