1.关键字:“Although A …, A…”结构、hardly表反义
2.空格中应该填入一个形容词,作为the work的一种描述,由于存在although,前后两个半句意思相反,因而前面说作品是有pioneering ideas的,也就是创新的,则后半句应该说其不是“创新的”。
3.由于后半句中存在hardly,因此在选取词语的时候,还是要选取与“创新”同义的词语进行填空。
4.词语解释:
[1].(A) orthodox:(正统的、传统的)conforming to establisheddoctrine especially in religion
[2].(B) eccentric:(举止怪异的)deviating from a circularpath

KEY:DF
1.关键字:“so that”结构
