題目
1. The name of the Sloane Matthew Library has long been _____ ; even longtime city residents assume it is a run-of-the-mill library, never suspecting what art treasures it contains.
A. revered
B. proposed
C. misleading
D. elevated
E. intriguing
正確答案
C
題目解析
分號前后語氣方向一致，其中never suspecting what art treasures it contains.說到大家認為博物館里面沒啥特別的。那么空就選負向詞misleading
其它選項含義：A 尊敬 B 提議 D 提高，振奮 E 有趣的，令人著迷的
2. At their best, (i) _____ book reviews are written in defense of value and in the tacit hope that the author, having had his or her (ii) _____ pointed out, might secretly agree that the book could be improved.
Blank (i) Blank (ii)
A. abstruse D. strengths
B. adverse E. transgressions
C. hortatory F. assumptions
正確答案
B E
題目解析
首先，that后面的內(nèi)容the author, having had his or her()pointed out, might secretly agree that the book could be improved. 這句話的意思是，在他的( )被指出來之后，作者才同意書能被修改。既然說書能被修改，說明存在不足之處，故空格2應該填寫一個負評價的詞語，表示作者的(負評價詞語)被指出來。負評價的詞只有transgressions。其次，that前面說：盡其所能，基于維護書的價值以及基于心照不宣的希望，( )的書評被寫下來。在這里，書評被寫下來的目的有兩個：1.維護書的價值;2.有著心照不宣的希望。而that引導定語從句，先行詞是hope，that定語從句的主干是the author might secretly agree that the book could be improved，故這個hope指的是作者同意書可以被修改。而作者同意書被修改，是在他的transgressions被指出來之后。因此，寫書評的目的能夠達到，就要指出作者的transgressions，而什么樣書評才能指出作者的不足?當然只有負評價的書評才能指出不足。所以空格1要填寫一個負評價的詞匯，adverse。
題目翻譯
往好的方面考慮，負面的書本評價可以是用來維護書的價值的，并且對于作者來說，他們也暗自(secretly)同意，當他們的transgression被指出的時候，他們的書可以獲得進一步的提升。
3. In the nineteenth century the (i) _____ advanced mechanical printing techniques made it possible for newspaper owners to print newspapers cheaply and in mass quantities, but unlike many other mechanized industries, where machines (ii) _____ workers, the new printing machines required trained compositors to run them, thereby (iii) _____ the demand for skilled printing labor.
Blank (i) Blank (ii) Blank (iii)
A. wide application of D. marginalized G. ignoring
B. extensive resistance to E. intrigued H. anticipating
C. great expense of F. isolated I. increasing
正確答案
A D I
題目解析
第一空由題意易知選A，表示19世紀機器打印技術(shù)的廣泛應用使報紙打印更便宜和更大數(shù)量。第三空，新機器需要訓練新人去操作機器，，因此打印技工的需求會怎樣，需要新人，那需求就是增加。第三空為increasing。第二空unlike和but都體現(xiàn)反義重復，新機器需要工人，舊機器_工人，應該是體現(xiàn)工人的不重要性。排除E. intrigued吸引人的，剩下兩個的意思分別是：
isolate：set apart from others; select from among others; insulate隔離;區(qū)別;孤立
marginalized：to relegate to unimportant or powerless position within a society or group降到不重要的位置。
故第二空為D
4. A particular bacterium that has never encountered a particular virus will usually succumb to it, a _____ that may, surprisingly, be beneficial to the colony in which the bacterium lives.
A. susceptibility
B. theory
C. characteristic
D. juxtaposition
E. collision
F. hypothesis
正確答案
A C
題目解析
第一句：從未遭遇過特定病毒的細菌往往會屈服于它，令人驚奇的是，它的這一特性有益于細菌的繁殖生長。surprising 表前后矛盾/反義。前面說細菌容易屈服，為負評價，后面說這一特性也帶來了好處，描述的是細菌的特性 所以選AC 表示特征 特性
補充： 前面說會前面說會抑制，后面說會有益于，然后中間要填的是一個過程colony in，這個過程必須包涵有病毒的特性，所以選A，關(guān)于C是因為susceptibility的上意詞是characteristic。
5. Family photos of the author suggest that she was _____ child: she seemed to wear a permanent frown.
A. a sullen
B. an amiable
C. a surly
D. a beautiful
E. a prudent
F. a stunning
正確答案
A C
題目解析
這位作家的家庭合照表明了她從小就是個___的孩子：她看起來像是永遠在皺眉。
frown提示選不開心，陰郁;sullen 不高興的;amiable 令人愉悅的;surly 壞脾氣;prudent 謹慎;stunning causing astonishment or disbelief
6. Biologists agree that snakes descended from lizards, but exactly where this first happened has been a matter of debate since the 1800s, when two _____ theories emerged.
A. complex
B. competing
C. dubious
D. conclusive
E. contending
F. irrefutable
正確答案
B E
題目解析
第一句話指出生物學家的共識，就是蛇的祖先來自蜥蜴。第二句話but轉(zhuǎn)折，強調(diào)過去的爭議。所以theories前面的形容詞應填debate的同義字。
competing=contending都有提出相互競逐的主張之義;irrefutable=conclusive則為debate的反義字;dubious是懷疑的意思，和complex不構(gòu)成任何一組同義字。
