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
參考答案：D
句中的Return of the Native由其后同位結(jié)構(gòu)（一本他講了三十多年的小說）可推論其即意味著familiarity，因而學(xué)生所感到驚訝的內(nèi)容（即空格2）應(yīng)和 familiarity會帶來的內(nèi)容（即空格1）形成反義，因而排除ABC（均為同義）；而E選項的admiration和confused并不構(gòu)成反義；而D選項的boredom和excited可構(gòu)成反義（厭倦與興奮）。
參考譯文：
由于羅希教授（Professor Roche）常掛在嘴邊的格言之一就是熟悉會帶來厭倦，因而他的學(xué)生當(dāng)發(fā)現(xiàn)他對《本土人的回歸》這一他已講了三十多年的小說仍會興奮時倍感驚訝。
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
參考答案：B
句中有兩層關(guān)系，首先，由but后內(nèi)容（人類的智力優(yōu)越性愈來愈受到懷疑和審視）推論出前句內(nèi)容應(yīng)為推理被認(rèn)為是人類的能力，因而空格1應(yīng)表肯定，由此可排除C（scarcely表否定）；其次，從冒號所起的解釋作用可推論出大多數(shù)研究人員應(yīng)支持動物能夠思考的觀點，，因而空格2應(yīng)表肯定，由此可排除 ADE（選項2均表否定）。
參考譯文：
推理曾一度被認(rèn)為是人類所獨有的，然而近來這一關(guān)于人類的智力優(yōu)越性的假設(shè)愈來愈受到懷疑與審視：大多數(shù)研究人員現(xiàn)今至少接受了一些動物也能思考這一觀點。
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
參考答案：A
空格內(nèi)容修飾歌曲，而由從句中his即指代主句中the artist可推論歌曲即意味著criticisms（批評），因而空格內(nèi)容應(yīng)和此一致，即選擇A（責(zé)問的，控訴的）
參考譯文：
盡管一位藝術(shù)家賴以成名的控訴性歌曲如此有力，然而如若人們感受到藝術(shù)家的批判既是指向自己也是指向未提及的敵人，這些歌曲可能更會刺到痛處，也會在情感上更為復(fù)雜。
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
參考答案：B
冒號后內(nèi)容對其前的內(nèi)容起解釋作用，可由冒號后內(nèi)容（或毀滅；或平靜）推論空格內(nèi)容應(yīng)意指不清或矛盾，因而正確選項為B。
參考譯文：
她的愛情里海洋是一個模棱兩可的符號：對于陳述者而言它顯然象征著一切本質(zhì)上毀滅性的事物，而其他時候它卻似乎象征著一切本質(zhì)上平靜美好的事物。
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
參考答案：E
句中their所指即為scientists，由despite和still not可推論出空格2內(nèi)容應(yīng)與determine同表肯定，因而可排除AB（選項2均表否定），而CD中選項2與文意不符，E即為正確選項。
參考譯文：
盡管科學(xué)家做了多方面的努力以確定石油的起源模式，他們至今仍不能確定石油所產(chǎn)生的過程。
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
參考答案：C
冒號后內(nèi)容對其前的內(nèi)容起解釋作用，由冒號后內(nèi)容（政治家要在韌性上遠(yuǎn)遜色于他們所效力的組織）可推論出空格內(nèi)容應(yīng)與enduring形成反義，因而排除ABD；而E從含義上判斷應(yīng)指事物難于持久而非形容人，因而可排除從而選擇C（見參考釋義）。
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
參考譯文：
政治家與其政黨相比起來更為嬗變：他們要在韌性上遠(yuǎn)遜色于他們所效力的組織。
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 disorganized
C reckless…an incompetent
D systematic…a methodical
E headlong…a timorous
參考答案：C
little more than即為no more than，因而空格2內(nèi)容應(yīng)表否定，由此可排除AD；而由belies可推論出空格1內(nèi)容仍應(yīng)表否定，且應(yīng)與空格2內(nèi)容一致，即可由空格1內(nèi)容推出空格2內(nèi)容，因而可排除BE從而選擇C（見參考釋義）。
reckless:
《Webster》irresponsible
參考譯文：
查韋斯（Chavez）對她主管們輕率的決策的描述證明了該機構(gòu)不過是一個不合格的官僚機構(gòu)。

A love...enthusiastic over
B contempt...disdainful of
C knowledge...conversant with
D boredom...excited by
E admiration...confused by
參考答案：D
句中的Return of the Native由其后同位結(jié)構(gòu)（一本他講了三十多年的小說）可推論其即意味著familiarity，因而學(xué)生所感到驚訝的內(nèi)容（即空格2）應(yīng)和 familiarity會帶來的內(nèi)容（即空格1）形成反義，因而排除ABC（均為同義）；而E選項的admiration和confused并不構(gòu)成反義；而D選項的boredom和excited可構(gòu)成反義（厭倦與興奮）。
參考譯文：
由于羅希教授（Professor Roche）常掛在嘴邊的格言之一就是熟悉會帶來厭倦，因而他的學(xué)生當(dāng)發(fā)現(xiàn)他對《本土人的回歸》這一他已講了三十多年的小說仍會興奮時倍感驚訝。

參考答案：B
句中有兩層關(guān)系，首先，由but后內(nèi)容（人類的智力優(yōu)越性愈來愈受到懷疑和審視）推論出前句內(nèi)容應(yīng)為推理被認(rèn)為是人類的能力，因而空格1應(yīng)表肯定，由此可排除C（scarcely表否定）；其次，從冒號所起的解釋作用可推論出大多數(shù)研究人員應(yīng)支持動物能夠思考的觀點，，因而空格2應(yīng)表肯定，由此可排除 ADE（選項2均表否定）。
參考譯文：
推理曾一度被認(rèn)為是人類所獨有的，然而近來這一關(guān)于人類的智力優(yōu)越性的假設(shè)愈來愈受到懷疑與審視：大多數(shù)研究人員現(xiàn)今至少接受了一些動物也能思考這一觀點。

E humble
參考答案：A
空格內(nèi)容修飾歌曲，而由從句中his即指代主句中the artist可推論歌曲即意味著criticisms（批評），因而空格內(nèi)容應(yīng)和此一致，即選擇A（責(zé)問的，控訴的）
參考譯文：
盡管一位藝術(shù)家賴以成名的控訴性歌曲如此有力，然而如若人們感受到藝術(shù)家的批判既是指向自己也是指向未提及的敵人，這些歌曲可能更會刺到痛處，也會在情感上更為復(fù)雜。

參考答案：B
冒號后內(nèi)容對其前的內(nèi)容起解釋作用，可由冒號后內(nèi)容（或毀滅；或平靜）推論空格內(nèi)容應(yīng)意指不清或矛盾，因而正確選項為B。
參考譯文：
她的愛情里海洋是一個模棱兩可的符號：對于陳述者而言它顯然象征著一切本質(zhì)上毀滅性的事物，而其他時候它卻似乎象征著一切本質(zhì)上平靜美好的事物。
5. Despite their extensive efforts to determine the mode of oil ___, scientists still have not ___ the process by which oil is produced.

參考答案：C
little more than即為no more than，因而空格2內(nèi)容應(yīng)表否定，由此可排除AD；而由belies可推論出空格1內(nèi)容仍應(yīng)表否定，且應(yīng)與空格2內(nèi)容一致，即可由空格1內(nèi)容推出空格2內(nèi)容，因而可排除BE從而選擇C（見參考釋義）。
