学员疑问：老师，这道题为啥选 B 呀？
When Angela Merkel became the first woman to take Germany’s top job in 2005, many deemed her too inexperienced and uncharismatic to ______. But while other leaders have come and gone over the intervening years, she has endured, enjoying an unparalleled ______.
A. succeed......glory
B. last......popularity
C. give up......favor
D. control......success
老师解答：根据题干中“many deemed her too inexperienced and uncharismatic（很多人认为她经验不足且缺乏魅力）”以及“But while other leaders have come and gone over the intervening years, she has endured（但在这些年里，其他领导人来了又走，她却一直坚持下来）”可知，第一个空应该填一个表示能持续下去、坚持住的词，第二个空结合“endured”和“unparalleled（无与伦比的）”可知，应该是表示她拥有无与伦比的受欢迎程度之类的词，所以答案选 B。句意：当安格拉·默克尔在 2005 年成为首位担任德国最高职位的女性时，许多人认为她经验不足且缺乏魅力，难以长久任职。但在这些年里，其他领导人来了又走，她却一直坚持下来，拥有着无与伦比的受欢迎程度。
点评分析：做这类词汇题时，要结合题干中前后文所描述的人物情况以及不同情况之间的对比关系，从而选出符合语境的词汇组合。
