1 C wipe out是個短語,意思是'消滅、摧毀‘ 和動詞destroy 同義。又如：The whole
town was wiped out by the landslide.
2 C 在四個選項中和contempt （蔑枧） 意義最接近的是hate,pity 的意思是 “憐憫”。
3 D assemble 是“集結(jié)” 的意思,gather是具有這一詞義的最普通的一個詞。
4 B inspire sb. to do sth.是 “鼓勵、激勵某人做某事” 的意思,這里inspire和encourage
的詞義和用法一樣,故可以用encourage 來代替。
5 A severe 有 “嚴厲的、嚴重的”多種意義。severe damage是嚴重破壞,故可用serious代替。又如：severe criticism嚴厲批評、severe situation嚴峻的形勢、severe winter嚴冬、severe loss嚴重損失、severe teacher嚴厲的老師。
6 D steep這個詞最常用的意義是‘陡峭的’,如：a steep slope,陡峭的山坡,但在口語中它可以用來表示 （ 要求、價格）‘過高、難以接受’ 的意思。
7 C tag 小標簽,如：price tags 價格標牌,luggage tags 行李標簽。在四個選項中l(wèi)abel和它同義。form 是‘表格', code 是 ‘碼' 如bar code條形碼。
8 D take in 這個短語可以有多種解釋,如‘接納、接受、留宿、收縮、改小’ 等等。在本句中它的意義很明顯是‘吸收、消化’故選digest.
9 A chant 這個詞的意思是‘唱' 尤其是 ‘反復、單調(diào)地唱或吟誦' 本句中說窗外的人群反復呼喊Joe的名字,所以這里可以用repeat來替代chant.
10 C puzzle做動詞用的意思是‘感到不解、迷惑’,句子的意思是：令我不解的是為什么他的書如此受歡迎。動詞confuse 恰好和puzzle 同義,而且用法也相同。
11 B layout 是‘布局、安排’的意思,如：layout of the exhibition hall,layout of the shopping complex 等。本句的意思是： 大樓里所有的公寓布局都一樣。arrengement 可以指時間、日程的安排,也可以指空間的分割和安排,function是‘功能’。
12 A crisp通常用于修飾食品,表示‘脆的、新鮮而脆生的’,如：crisp crackers,crisp
lettuce 等。但它也可以用來描述天氣,表示‘清新、涼爽的‘,在本句中它表示就是這個意思,所以可以用fresh 來代替。
13 D hollow 是‘空心的’ 意思,如：a hollow tree,a hollow pipe這里可以用empty來替換。
14 A update 的意思就是現(xiàn)在常說的‘升級、更新‘和modernize‘現(xiàn)代化’ 意義相近。
