A.provoke…delay
B.denounce…deny
C.instigate…conceal
D.curtail…promoteE.avoid…postpone
正确答案:E
解析:空格(i):- 方程等号:war和the queen之间省略that。that引导定语从句,修饰war,前后句意同义重复。- 强词和对应:根据后文得知女王的顾问们是谨慎的(prudent),因此prudent指向空格(i),取同,体现女王和顾问们对战争采取“谨慎的”态度。provoke激起,denounce公开指责,instigate激起,curtail限制,avoid避免。选项D和E合适,即“不轻易发动战争”。空格(ii):- 方程等号:and连接平行结构,前后句意同义重复。- 强词和对应:根据题意,and前面的内容提到女王和她的顾问们是谨慎地对待战争,空格(ii)和空格(i)根据and取同,体现对战争的“谨慎”态度。delay推迟(对),deny否认(错),conceal隐藏(错),promote促进(错),postpone推迟(对)。综合空格(i),答案选E。 知识模块:填空
2. Despite many decades of research on the gasification of coal, the data
accumulated are not directly (i)______ to environmental questions; thus a new
program of research specifically addressing such questions is (ii)_____.
A.analogous…promising
B.transferable…contradictory
C.antithetical…unremarkable
D.applicable…warrantedE.pertinent…unnecessary
正确答案:D
解析:空格(i):- 方程等号:despite尽管,句内取反。not取反。两次取反后,方向相同。- 强词和对应:尽管对煤的气化问题进行了几十年的研究,但是积累起来的数据没有直接空格(i)环境问题,despite和not两次取反,所以空格(i)填一个正向词,体现多年的研究对环境问题没有(not)“用”。analogous相似的,
transferable可转移的,antithetical对立的,applicable适用的,pertinent相关的。选项D和E合适。空格(ii):- 方程等号:thus表示因果,同义重复。- 强词和对应:thus前面说煤的气化这种研究对于环境问题没有用,thus后面提到了新的研究项目应该对于环境问题就是有用的,所以空格(ii)填一个正向词。promising有前途的(对),contradictory矛盾的(错),unremarkable不显著的(错),warranted合理的(对),unnecessary不必要的(错)。综合空格(i),答案选D。 知识模块:填空
3. Unlike other creatures, who are shaped largely by their (i)______
environment, human beings are products of a culture accumulated over centuries, yet
one that is constantly being (ii)______ by massive infusions of new information from
everywhere.
A.harsh…unconfirmed
B.surrounding…upheld
C.immediate…transformed
D.natural…mechanizedE.limited...superseded
正确答案:C
解析:空格(i):- 方程等号:unlike不像,反义重复。- 强词和对应:逗号后面描述人类是文化积累了多年的产物,unlike前后取反,所以空格(i)和over
years根据unlike取反,体现生物很大程度上是由“时间不长”的环境所塑造的。harsh严厉的,surrounding周围的,immediate当下的,natural自然的,limited有限的。immediate的释义:happening or existing now,当下发生的,因此选项C合适。空格(ii):- 方程等号:by被…,前后同义重复。- 强词和对应:空格(ii)体现从各处大量注入的新信息对文化所做的一个持续的动作,new information指向空格(ii),根据by取同,体现“新信息的影响”。unconfirmed未被证实的(对),upheld被支持的(错),transformed被改变的(对),mechanized被机械化的(错),superseded被取代的(错)。综合空格(i),答案选C。 知识模块:填空
4. Edith Wharton sought in her memoir to present herself as having achieved a
harmonious wholeness by having ______the conflicting elements of her life.
A.affirmed
B.highlighted
C.reconciled
D.confinedE.identified
正确答案:C
解析:-方程等号:by通过…,表示方式方法,同义重复。- 强词和对应:前文说Edith Wharton在回忆录中将自己表现为和谐统一的整体,by表示方式方法,所以空格+the conflicting elements和harmonious取同,体现“和谐统一”。affirm肯定,highlight强调,reconcile协调,confine限制,identify识别。仅仅“限制”冲突是无法达到和谐的,因此排除选项D。答案选C。 知识模块:填空
5. In their preface, the collection’s editors plead that certain of the important
articles they (i)______ were published too recently for inclusion, but in the case of
many such articles, this (ii)______ is not valid.
A.discussed…replacement
B.omitted…excuse
C.revised…clarification
D.disparaged…justificationE.ignored…endorsement
正确答案:B
解析:空格(i):- 方程等号:important articles和they之间省略that,that引导定语从句,修饰articles,前后句意同义重复。- 强词和对应:空格(i)表现编辑对重要的文章(important articles)的动作,根据were published too recently for
inclusion可知文章的发表时间太晚所以没有被收录,因此空格(i)填一个负向词,体现这些文章“没有被收录”。discuss讨论,omit遗漏,revise修改,disparage轻视,ignore忽视。D和E都表示“忽视、轻视”,但是这和important矛盾,所以排除D和E,答案选B。空格(ii):- 方程等号:this表示指代,说明前文出现过该对象,同义重复。- 强词和对应:前文说作品集的编辑们为自己的行为找借口(plead的释义是if you plead a particular thing as the reason for doing or not doing
something,you give it as your excuse),因此空格(ii)和plead根据this构成同义重复,体现“借口”。replacement代替(错),excuse借口(对),clarification澄清(错),justification正当的理由(错),endorsement支持(错)。justification的释义是a
justification for something is an acceptable reason or explanation for it,和not
valid(不合理的)矛盾,因此排除选项D。 选项B合适。 知识模块:填空
6. The labor union and the company’s management, despite their long history
of unfailingly acerbic disagreement on nearly every issue, have nevertheless reached
an unexpectedly ______, albeit still tentative, agreement on next year’s contract.
A.swift
B.onerous
C.hesitant
D.reluctantE.conclusive
正确答案:A
解析:- 方程等号:despite尽管,句内取反。- 强词和对应:disagreement和agreement根据despite取反,体现尽管他们长期以来的尖酸刻薄的分歧,但还是在一个问题上达成了一致。long history指向空格,根据despite取反,体现时间“短”。swift迅速的,onerous繁重的,hesitant犹豫的,reluctant勉强的,conclusive确定无疑的。conclusive确定无疑的与tentative临时的,前后矛盾,不能说“尽管临时的,但是确定无疑的一致意见”,排除E选项。答案选A。 知识模块:填空
