解析
本题考查对句子逻辑和词汇的理解。解题思路是先理解句子的大致意思,即他在学习方面处于某种状态,结果是获得了高分,然后根据语境推测出合适的词汇。
原句“He was $almassdllgsentinhis\quad study\quad and$ as a consequence __ $receivedhigh\quad marks$”中,“$almassdllgsent$”应该是“absent - minded”(心不在焉的)的错误拼写,“as a consequence”表示结果,前后存在因果关系。因为获得了高分,所以前面应该是说他在学习上很专注,“diligent”有勤奋的、专注的意思,填入此处符合逻辑。
