The word "humbug" in the last sentence of Para. 2 can be replaced by
A.tempt or temptation.
B.deception or trickery.
C.nonsense or rubbish.
D.mannerism or pretense.

参考答案

正确答案:D
解析:语义题。文章第二段第二句话指出:垃圾英语矫情虚饰,华而不实;倒数第二句又说许多人利用它"to spread fog before facts they would rather keep hidden",最后一句说结果是以至于满世界都是humbug,所"the more we read and hear, the less we know",可以推断humbug在这里意思是“矫揉造作”,A 诱惑”不合题意;B 言过其实;C 没有抓住中心要害,应排除。
