题目
1. In his unexpurgated autobiography, Mark Twain commented freely on the flaws and foibles of his country, making some observations so_______ that his heirs and editors feared they would damage Twain’s reputation if not withheld.
A. buoyant
B. acerbic
C. premonitory
D. laudatory
E. temperate
答案: B
解析:题目翻译成在马克吐温的完整自传中,他对自己的国家的缺陷和弱点进行了自由评论。从而使得一些言论过于尖刻,以至于他的继承者和编辑害怕如果他们不坚持与马克吐温保持观点一致的话,将会破坏他的名誉。所以这里最恰当的是B选项,acerbic为尖刻的。A选项,buoyant为轻快的,feared在文中表示害怕、恐惧,可以推测原文的语境是偏向消极而不是积极的。所以不正确;C选项,premonitory为先兆的,和原句含义无关;D选项,laudatory为赞美的,与原句语境相反;E选项,temperate,温和的,同样与原句语境不符。
2. The controversy about Alexander the Great’s personality derives from the fact that our sources are (i)________, all eyewitness accounts having perished. What remains is, at best, (ii)________ (one history, for instance, is based largely on the now-lost memoirs of Alexander’s alleged half-brother, Ptolemy) and at worst, highly unreliable.
Blank (i) Blank (ii)
A. outdated D. secondhand
B. inadequate E. repetitious
C. abstruse F. deceptive
答案:B D
解析:题目翻译成:对亚历山大大帝个性的争论来自于我们的史料是不充分的这个事实,所有的目击者已逝。剩下的资料,最好的情况是二手的,(一段历史,举例来说,很大程度上是基于已经失传的亚历山大同父异母的兄弟托勒密写的回忆录),最坏的情况,非常不可靠。
第一空后面一句说所有的目击者已逝,暗示留下来的史料是不充分的。outdated,过时的;abstruse,深奥的;所以最恰当的选项是B不充分的。
第二空后面提到亚历山大同父异母的兄弟的回忆录,说明是二手史料。 repetitious,重复的;deceptive,欺诈的。所以最恰当的选项是D二手的,间接获得的。
3. While some commentators suggest that abstraction and complexity in scientific research are signs that a given direction is misguided, Lisa Randall, a professor of physics at Harvard, counters that these qualities instead reflect the success of human ingenuity in(i)________ the increasingly (ii)________ challenges that nature presents. They can, however, make it more (iii)________ to communicate scientific developments, even to colleague.
Blank (i) Blank (ii) Blank (iii)
A. creating D. difficult G. challenging
B. meeting E. conspicuous H. unproductive
C. eschewing F. pragmatic I. advantageous
答案:B D G
解析:题目翻译成:尽管一些评论员认为,科学研究的抽象性和复杂性表明一个给定的方向是错误的。哈佛大学的物理学教授Lisa Randall反驳说,相反,这些特征反映了人们在成功应对大自然日益困难的挑战方面的创造力。只是,这些特征使科学发展的交流更具挑战性,即使是在同事之间。
第一空是固定搭配,meeting challenges; 所以最恰当的选项是B. eschewing,避开。第二空第三空可由开头的abstraction and complexity推断,大自然的挑战是越来越困难的,科学发展的交流也是越来越有挑战性的。conspicuous,显而易见的;pragmatic,实际的;unproductive,徒劳的,不毛的;advantageous,有利的,有益的,不合题意。
4. Consumers may think that genetic engineering of foods is something new, but humans have been modifying plants for ages; the_______ is not that new genes are introduced but that genes can now be moved from one species to another.
A. novelty
B. quandary
C. advantage
D. innovation
E. discrepancy
F. predicament
答案:AD
解析:题目翻译成在消费者们可能认为基因工程的食品是新奇的事物。但人类很久以来都在改变植物;创新不是指新基因被引入而是如今基因能够从一个物种转移到另一个物种上。这里最恰当的是A、D选项,novelty为新奇。innovation为创新。B选项,quandary为困境,原句提到的重点是something new, 而不是消极的含义,因此B原句含义无关;C选项,advantage为优势,与原句的new含义不符,不是突出优势;E选项,discrepancy,为矛盾,与原句语境不符。F选项,predicament为困境,同样与原句语境不符。
5. Since it was committed to the idea of science as an international, politically neutral enterprise, the Royal Society of London refused to____ members from enemy nations during world wars of the twentieth century.
A. betray
B expel
C endorse
D oust
E sanction
F condemn
答案:B D
解析:前后是因果关系。句子前半部分大意为科学是无国界的,中立的。故句子后半部分大意为,皇家科学协会拒绝开除来自敌国的会员。
6. Although the insistence on balancing spending against tax revenues has contributed to the economy's stagnation, unfortunately, the government does not seem likely to_____ this rigid policy.
A initiate
B persist in
C publicize
D repudiate
E continue
F recant
答案:D F
解析:Unfortunately,表明政府不愿放弃这个严苛的政策。故选有放弃含义的词。
