6、urdity (B) excellence . mediocrity (C) anger . confrontation (D) conformism . singularity (E) ostentation . eentricity 解答 空格后面以of引导的介词结构无疑与该空格前的of结构属同一性质，作补充陈述。从unlike their neighbours可获取一“与众不同，标新立异”的概念代入空格，则求得(D) singularity和(E) eentricity为正确。既然第二句陈述Gibson一家谁都不怕与众不同，这即意味着每人都敢于或愿意表现得与众不同。据此可推知，Gibso
