答案:1.A exhaustive是"透徹韻,徹底的"意思。exhaustive study:透徹的研究,exhaustive investigation:深入的調查。所以extremely thorou~是正確答案。 Long and boring:長得令人厭倦,superficial:表面的,unconvincing:不能使人信服的,均不合適。
2.B ingenious:靈巧的,巧妙的,大致上和clever同義。ingenious mind:機靈的頭腦,ingenious rnachine:精巧的機器,ingenious tactics:巧妙的戰(zhàn)術等。effective"有效的",implausible"不合情理的",original"有新意的"。
3.D courteous是"有禮貌的,謙恭的",在四個選項中只有respectful和它意義相近。respectable和respectful的區(qū)別:前者是"可尊敬的",后者是"恭敬的,尊重別人的",a respectable gentlemen:一位值得尊敬的先生,a respectful bow:充滿敬意的一鞠躬。efficient"有效率的",well-informed"有學問的"。 4.D invaluable這個詞從形式上看似乎是valuable(貴重的,有價值的)的反義詞,其實不然,它的意思恰恰是"無法估計的,十分寶貴的",故應選extremely useful。其他的搭配還有an invaluable treasure:無價之寶,invaluable advice:很有用的忠告,invaluable heritage:寶貴的遺產。選項A和invaluable反義,選項B的意思是"確實很實用",選項C的意思是"幾乎沒有"。 5.C此句的意思是"我認為在這里建一家豪華賓館的想法簡直是荒唐"。insane是sane的反義詞,意思是"精神錯亂的,瘋狂的",故該詞和mad,crazy同義。He went insane at last.他最終發(fā)瘋了。reasonable和sensible的意思都是"合理的,有理的",故都和insane相反。
