Complete each of the following sentences with a (compound) word

Complete each of the following sentences with a (compound) word derived from the one(s) given in brackets.

Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being( ) to learn. (willing)


【正确答案】:UNWILLING
【题目解析】:

本题考查常见形容词的反义词。

由being可知,空缺处应填形容词,根据“shame可耻”分析语境,as后表达的应为负面含义,故需填willing的反义词unwilling意为“不愿意的”。

句意:不愿意学习相比于愚昧无知显得更可耻。
