Section1

1. Since one of Professor Roche's oft-repeated adages was that familiarity leads to ___, his students were quite surprised to find him so ___ Return of the Native, a novel he had taught for over 30 years.

A love...enthusiastic over

B contempt...disdainful of

C knowledge...conversant with

D boredom...excited by

E admiration...confused by

参考答案:D

句中的Return of the Native由其后同位结构(一本他讲了三十多年的小说)可推论其即意味着familiarity,因而学生所感到惊讶的内容(即空格2)应和familiarity会带来的内容(即空格1)形成反义,因而排除ABC(均为同义);而E选项的admiration和confused并不构成反义;而D选项的boredom和excited可构成反义(厌倦与兴奋)。

参考译文:

由于罗希教授(Professor Roche)常挂在嘴边的格言之一就是熟悉会带来厌倦,因而他的学生当发现他对《本土人的回归》这一他已讲了三十多年的小说仍会兴奋时倍感惊讶。

2. Reason was once believed to be ___ human, but lately this assumption of intellectual superiority has come under increasingly skeptical scrutiny: most researchers now at least ___ the notion that some animals can think.

A logically…ridicule

B unique…entertain

C scarcely…embrace

D quintessentially…balk at

E peculiarly…scoff at

参考答案:B

句中有两层关系,首先,由but后内容(人类的智力优越性愈来愈受到怀疑和审视)推论出前句内容应为推理被认为是人类的能力,因而空格1应表肯定,由此可排除C(scarcely表否定);其次,从冒号所起的解释作用可推论出大多数研究人员应支持动物能够思考的观点,,因而空格2应表肯定,由此可排除ADE(选项2均表否定)。

参考译文:

推理曾一度被认为是人类所独有的,然而近来这一关于人类的智力优越性的假设愈来愈受到怀疑与审视:大多数研究人员现今至少接受了一些动物也能思考这一观点。

3. Powerful as they are, the ___ songs the artist is best known for might sting more and have even greater emotional complexity if one felt that his criticisms were aimed at himself as well as at his unnamed foes.

A accusatory

B altruistic

C mournful

D simplistic

E humble

参考答案:A

空格内容修饰歌曲,而由从句中his即指代主句中the artist可推论歌曲即意味着criticisms (批评),因而空格内容应和此一致,即选择A(责问的,控诉的)

参考译文:

尽管一位艺术家赖以成名的控诉性歌曲如此有力,然而如若人们感受到艺术家的批判既是指向自己也是指向未提及的敌人,这些歌曲可能更会刺到痛处,也会在情感上更为复杂。4. In her love the sea is ___ symbol: to the narrator it clearly represents everything that is destructive in nature, but at other times it seems to stand for everything in nature that is serenely beautiful.

A an enduring

B an ambiguous

C a coherent

D an obtrusive

E a discrete

参考答案:B

冒号后内容对其前的内容起解释作用,可由冒号后内容(或毁灭;或平静)推论空格内容应意指不清或矛盾,因而正确选项为B。

参考译文:

她的爱情里海洋是一个模棱两可的符号:对于陈述者而言它显然象征着一切本质上毁灭性的事物,而其他时候它却似乎象征着一切本质上平静美好的事物。

5. Despite their extensive efforts to determine the mode of oil ___, scientists still have not ___ the process by which oil is produced.

A dispersion…excluded

B synthesis…rejected

C creation…investigated

D recovery…condoned

E genesis…established

参考答案:E

句中their所指即为scientists,由despite和still not可推论出空格2内容应与determine同表肯定,因而可排除AB(选项2均表否定),而CD中选项2与文意不符,E即为正确选项。参考译文:

尽管科学家做了多方面的努力以确定石油的起源模式,他们至今仍不能确定石油所产生的过程。

6. Compared with their parties, politicians are ___: they are considerably less enduring than the organizations in which they function.

A ubiquitous

B autonomous

C fickle

D immutable

E transitory

参考答案:C

冒号后内容对其前的内容起解释作用,由冒号后内容(政治家要在韧性上远逊色于他们所效

力的组织)可推论出空格内容应与enduring形成反义,因而排除ABD;而E从含义上判断应指事物难于持久而非形容人,因而可排除从而选择C(见参考释义)。

fickle:

《Webster》marked by lack of steadfastness, constancy, or stability : given to erratic changeableness

《American Heritage》characterized by erratic changeableness or instability, especially with regard to affections or attachments; capricious

transitory:

《Webster》①tending to pass away : not persistent ②of brief duration : temporary 《American Heritage》existing or lasting only a short time; short-lived or temporary

参考译文:

政治家与其政党相比起来更为嬗变:他们要在韧性上远逊色于他们所效力的组织。

7. Chavez’ account of her supervisors’ ___ decision-making belies the agency’s image as little more than ___ bureaucracy.

A cautious…a staid

B ill-informed…a dis organized

C reckless…an incompetent

D systematic…a methodical

E headlong…a timorous

参考答案:C

little more than即为no more than,因而空格2内容应表否定,由此可排除AD;而由belies 可推论出空格1内容仍应表否定,且应与空格2内容一致,即可由空格1内容推出空格2内容,因而可排除BE从而选择C(见参考释义)。

reckless:

《Webster》irresponsible

查韦斯(Chavez)对她主管们轻率的决策的描述证明了该机构不过是一个不合格的官僚机构。
