单项选择题
The only problem with the debate last week was that the beginning sounded more like a personal attack than a dispassionate, intellectual arguing .
A．discussion
B．argument
C．talk
D．speech
答案
参考答案：B
解析：名词辨析。arguing是argue的动名词，表辩论，争论(强调提出事实、理由、证据来支持或驳斥某一观点)；discussion讨论(主要表慎重地谈论，融洽地交流)；argument争论，辩论，论点；talk讲话，会谈；speech演说，讲话；这里用名词替换动名词，所以答案是B。
