Section 12
1. Animals that have tasted unpalatable plants tend to ________ them afterward on the basis of their most conspicuous features, such as their flowers.
(A) recognize
(B) hoard
(C) trample
(D) retrieve
(E) approach
解析:unpalatable 表示难吃的意思,来自于palate表示味觉。因此吃了不好吃的食物下次就不吃了呗。后面说on the basis of their most conspicuous features 以他们最危险住的特征为基础,那要他们最为显住的特征干嘛呢?就是要把他们和其他的食物区别开来,所以选择A选项,识别出。
hoard表示储存,如果不喜欢一定是不会存起来的。这个单词要跟hoary区分开。
hoary - Overused and unoriginal; trite: 古老的,陈旧的,老掉牙的
hoard - Accumulate (money or valued objects) and hide or store away: 存储
答案:A
2. As for the alleged value of expert opinion, one need only ________ government records to see ________ evidence of the failure of such opinions in many fields.
(A) inspect.. questionable
(B) retain.. circumstantial
(C) distribute.. possible
(D) consult.. strong
(E) evaluate.. problematic
解析:注意alleged表示声称的,一般是一个贬义词。
alleged - Said, without proof, to have taken place or to have a specified illegal or undesirable quality:
所以可以看出对于expert opinion作者是没有带着什么好态度的。果真,后面说了the failure of such opinions in many fields。 因此选择D选项,你只需要看看政府的记录就能得到这些意见失败的强有力的证据。
注意B选项的circumstantial表示的是详细的。
circumstantial - (Of a description) containing full details:
答案:D
3. In scientific inquiry it becomes a matter of duty to expose a ________ hypothesis to every possible kind of ________ .
(A) tentative.. examination
(B) debatable.. approximation
(C) well-established.. rationalization
(D) logical.. elaboration
(E) suspect.. correlation
解析:让一个怎样的假设暴露给各种可能的什么?而且这种暴露还是一种必须,一种责任。那必须是要检验这种hypothesis,让他保证他的正确。因此选择A选项。
tentative - Not certain or fixed; not fully developed ; provisional: 暂时的
这里面注意两个空格的位置很近,因此只能快速带入,靠两个空格形成的整体意思来解决问题。
答案:A
4. Charlotte Salomon's biography is a reminder that the currents of private life, however diverted, dislodged, or twisted by ________ public events, retain their hold on the ________ recording them.
(A) transitory.. culture
(B) dramatic.. majority
(C) overpowering.. individual
(D) conventional.. audience
(E) relentless.. institution
解析:however这个词这里面不是然而的意思,而是引导了一个让步状语从句,相当于no matter how。
首先一个难点是currents of private life中current该怎么理解,这里我们取想法意思,英文解释为
current - an idea, feeling, opinion, etc., that is shared by many or most of the people in a group。 也就是人们对于他私生活的态度,无论被怎么样的public events所改变(divert),删去(dislodge)或是被扭曲(twisted),都还是会对他专辑的作者产生影响。
答案:C
5. Philosophical problems arise when people ask questions that, though very ________ , have certain characteristics in common.
(A) relevant
(B) elementary
(C) abstract
(D) diverse
(E) controversial
解析:这道题目很简单,应该选一个跟有共同点形成转折的词,所以选择D选项。虽然很多样,但是也是有相同之处的。
有共同之处,可以说have something in common,这个短语虽然简单,但是可能大家却不会灵活使用。
答案: D
6. Although Johnson ________ great enthusiasm for his employees' project, in reality his interest in the project was so ________ as to be almost nonexistent.
(A) generated.. redundant
(B) displayed.. preemptive
(C) expected.. indiscriminate
(D) feigned.. perfunctory
(E) demanded.. dispassionate
解析: 后面as to be almost nonexistent是一个成都的递进,所以第二个空格应该填入一个词体现出稍稍有一点但是也不多。前面说明他其实没有enthusiasm,却还要表现出有很啊的enthusiasm,所以选择D选项。
解析: D
7. Not all the indicators necessary to convey the effect of depth in a picture work simultaneously, the picture's illusion of ________ three-dimensional appearance must therefore result from the viewer's integration of various indicators perceived ________ .
(A) imitative.. coincidentally
(B) uniform.. successively
(C) temporary.. comprehensively
(D) expressive.. sympathetically
(E) schematic.. passively
解析:注意前后两句话是“therefore” 的因果关系,所以掐面熟哦不是所有的indicator同时(simultaneously)工作,因此后面就要体现出他们不同时,因此只有B选项合适。
第一个空格填入uniform会让大家造成一些困扰,这里的uniform表示的是整体一致的意思,从意思上就可以理解为simultaneously的意思。
答案:B
