The medical reform in that country proved to be _____ failure, but as we know, success often comes after _____ failure．

A．a; the

B．a; /

C．a; a

D．/; /

答案

B

解析

试题分析：第一空填a. a failure意为“失败的人或事”，failure在此处为普通名词。第二空不填。此处failure是抽象名词，表示“失败”状态。故答案为B. 本题涉及“抽象名词具体化”现象。success, failure, pressure, surprise, pleasure, experience, pride, concern, comfort等属于抽象名词，表示“状态、情感”等概念。它们也可以表示某种状态的“实例”或引起某种情感的“人或事”，这就是抽象名词的具体化。
