GRE考试基础填空题及答案解析(22)
Instead of demonstrating the ___ of archaeological applications of electronic remote sensing, the pioneering study became, to some skeptics , an illustration of the imprudence of interpreting sites based on virtual archeology .
A. ubiquity
B. redundancy
C. limitation
D. complexity
E. promise
选 E
翻译：一些质疑者认为，这项开创性的研究没有证明电子遥感技术在考古学方面应用的前景，而是展示了一些基于虚拟考古的遗址解释工作的轻率。
ubiquity 无处不在
redundancy 多余，过剩，冗长，备份
promise 发誓，承诺，暗示，期望，(有)前途、(有)希望
electronic remote sensing 电子遥感(并不懂也不想)
imprudence 轻率，鲁莽
virtual 实际上的，像真实但不是真的，比如 virtual reality 虚拟现实
本题略难，从主干入手效果还不错：
instead of demonstrating the ___ ，the study became an demonstration of imprudence .
研究显得鲁莽、草率，而非显得 ___ 。
找一个好词，只有 promise 有前景、有希望满足，ubiquity 不算是正面评价，某种技术应用的广泛只是一种客观的描述，它也可能需要被淘汰，但如果我们说一种技术有前景，则显然是对这种技术的肯定。
