A．respect…crucial

B．dismissal…simplistic

C．skepticism…unfathomable

D．opposition…indisputableE．acceptance…comprehensive

正确答案：D

解析：空格(i)+空格(ii)：- 方程等号：despite尽管，让步转折，反义重复。- 强词和对应：it指代his theory，句中没有强词，说明两个空格为强词。所以空格(i)和空格(ii)根据despite取反，选一组反义词。代入选项，respect尊敬…crucial重要的，不取反，排除；dismissal不予考虑…simplistic过分简单的，不取反，排除；skepticism怀疑…unfathomable难以理解的，不取反，排除；opposition反对…indisputable不容置疑的，取反，代入句意合适，正确；acceptance接受…comprehensive全面的，不取反，排除。答案选D。 知识模块：填空

C．increases…shower

D．decreases…rainstormE．stabilizes…thaw

正确答案：D

解析：空格(ii)：- 方程等号：or或者，连接两个句子成分，中心词相同，修饰语取反。- 强词和对应：根据题意，the longer和the greater作为修饰语，一个强调时间长，一个强调速率大，已经取反。所以空格(ii)与precipitation作为中心词应该相同，所以空格(ii)与“降水”相关。deluge大暴雨，drought干旱，shower阵雨，rainstorm暴雨，thaw融雪。只有B选项和水无关，排除选项B，保留其他选项。空格(i)：- 方程等号：so因此，因果关系，同义重复。- 强词和对应：

根据题意，后文描述降水的速率越大或者降水的时间越长，经过地表流走汇入河流的水就越多，证明降水量和土壤的吸水能力是负向关系，因此空格(i)填一个负向词。rise上升(错)；diminish减少(对)；increase增加(错)；decrease减少(对)；stabilize使稳定(错)。综合空格(i)，答案选D。 知识模块：填空

D．insightful…innovativeE．dispassionate…evenhanded

正确答案：B

解析：空格(i)+空格(ii)：- 方程等号：more…than…比…更…，比较级，反义重复。- 强词和对应：句中没有强词，说明两个空格为强词。所以空格(i)和空格(ii)根据more than取反。选一组反义词。compelling吸引人的…intriguing吸引人的，同向，排除；accessible可理解的…recondite难以理解的，反向，正确；hidebound保守的…reactionary保守的，同向，排除；insightful富有洞察力的…innovative革新的，同向，排除；dispassionate公正的…evenhanded公正的，同向，排除。答案选B。 知识模块：填空

A．little…voluble

B．heated…contentious

C．cordial…quarrelsome

D．frustrating…affableE．interminable…businesslike

正确答案：B

解析：空格(ii)：- 方程等号：make使得…，同义重复。- 强词和对应：根据题意，冒号后面的内容提到很多关于全球气候变化的不确定性和巨大的成本花费，因此空格(ii)和uncertainties与huge cost根据made构成同义重复，体现不确定性让政策决定者“不确定”。voluble话多的，contentious有争议的，quarrelsome爱争吵的，affable友善的，businesslike务实的。A、B、C三项合适。空格(i)：-

方程等号：冒号说明前后同义重复。- 强词和对应：根据题意，environmental issues和global climatic change同义重复。冒号后面的3s版本为：政策制定者讨论激烈，所以冒号前面的3s版本应该与之相同，体现“讨论很激烈”。little不多的(错)，heated激烈的(对)，cordial友好的(错)，frustrating令人沮丧的(错)，interminable无休止的(对)。C选项中，cordial是“友好的”，与第二空的quarrelsome相互矛盾，排除C选项。因此综合两空，答案选B。 知识模块：填空

experience that such art seeks to provoke necessarily engenders a certain ______.

A．familiarity

正确答案：C

解析：- 方程等号：冒号说明前后同义重复。- 强词和对应：冒号前的3s版本为：艺术令人不安。such art指代前面的art。空格和disturbing根据冒号构成同义重复，体现这种艺术产生“令人不安的影响”。familiarity熟识，ennui无聊，upheaval动荡不安，intimacy亲密，tranquility安静。答案选C。 知识模块：填空

present life itself, can also offer impossible and dreamlike unrealities.

A．trivialities

B．biases

C．constraints

D．paradoxesE．liabilities

正确答案：D

解析：-方程等号：冒号说明前后同义重复。-强词和对应：冒号后面的内容中，still表示“静止”，motion表示“运动”，说明电影兼有静止和运动两个对立的特征，所以选一个表示“对立”含义的答案。同时life itself“生活本身”和unrealities“不真实”也提示我们应该选择一个表示“对立”含义的单词。triviality不重要的事，bias偏见，constraint限制，paradox矛盾，liability责任。答案选D。
