98年11月試題
1．【中文釋義】很難有一個這樣的綜合概括，這個概括能夠?qū)θ藗兊纳鐣袨榧爸笇?dǎo)這一行為的各種價值觀作出歸納，這種概括同時從其他的各種觀看角度來看又能不被動搖，或者不會被指責(zé)為思維簡單或毫無意義。
【解題分析】兩個從句同時修飾generalization，所以這兩個特殊并列的從句應(yīng)該同義重復(fù)，第一個從句的觀點是能夠建立這樣的概括，第二個從句重復(fù)的方式是以雙重否定來表示對這種概括的肯定。事實上全句講述的就是中國古老的觀點“仁者見仁，智者見智”，也就是對任何社會行為和價值觀都無法作出一個綜合的最終的概括。
【重點詞條】generalization 1: the act or process of generalizing 2: a general statement, law, principle, or proposition 3: the act or process whereby a response is made to a stimulus similar to but not identical with a reference stimulus
inform 1 obs: to give material form to 2 a: to give character or essence to b: to be the characteristic quality of: animate 3 obs: guide, direct 4 obs: to make known 5: to communicate knowledge to <~ a prisoner of his rights> ~ vi 1: to impart information or knowledge 2: to give information (as of another's wrongdoing) to an authority

rapid : marked by a fast rate of motion, activity, succession, or occurrence syn see fast --
2.【中文釋義】盡管食品的放射性處理所導(dǎo)致的維他命的損失可以由使用食品填加劑來彌補(bǔ)，但是也可能缺乏對致癌物的防范，這種致癌物是由（使用食品填加劑）這個過程所導(dǎo)致的，從而產(chǎn)生了對食品的某種恐慌心理。
【解題分析】上下句轉(zhuǎn)折，下句為no protection, 是一種壞的情況，所以上句應(yīng)為好的情況，上句結(jié)構(gòu)簡化即為destruction could be counterbalanced（a） ,只有這一選擇才能表示一種好的情況。
【重點詞條】destruction 1: the state or fact of being destroyed: ruin 2: the action or process of destroying something 3: a destroying agency
counterbalance 1: a weight that balances another 2: a force or influence that offsets or checks an opposing force 2counterbalance vt (1611) 1: to oppose or balance with an equal weight or force 2: to equip with counterbalances
introduce 1: to lead or bring in esp. for the first time 2 a: to bring into play b: to bring into practice or use: institute 3: to lead to or make known by a formal act, announcement, or recommendation
3.【中文釋義】盡管他拒絕承擔(dān)任何談判失敗的責(zé)任，但是史蒂文自己也沒有赦免的理由；的確是由于他的尖刻才導(dǎo)致了這場徹底的失敗。
【解題分析】分號上下句重復(fù)，上句的主句與從句轉(zhuǎn)折，即使不填答案也應(yīng)知道上句主句的意思為；他該承擔(dān)責(zé)任，所以分號下半句重復(fù)這個意思，表示他有責(zé)任，可選d或者e, 而d的第一個單詞不正確，故選擇e.
【重點詞條】 berate to scold or condemn vehemently and at length syn see scold accuse 1: to charge with a fault or offense: blame 2: to charge with an offense judicially or by a public process ~ vi: to bring an accusation -- ac.cus.er n -- ac.cus.ing.ly adv
4.【中文釋義】這種占絕對主導(dǎo)地位的將對細(xì)節(jié)事實的強(qiáng)烈興趣與對抽象概括的同樣的專注結(jié)合的做法是我們當(dāng)今社會的特點；在過去，這種結(jié)合最多只是零星地出現(xiàn)，并且顯得是偶然出現(xiàn)的。
【解題分析】簡化句結(jié)構(gòu)即為：union is a hallmark of our present society; in the past, this union appeared sporadically. 一個常見的時間對比型。句子最為復(fù)雜的部分為union 后的介詞短語，但這個介詞短語的分隔純屬 ETS設(shè)置的陷阱，根本不需要理會。
【重點詞條】devotion 1 a: religious fervor: piety b: an act of prayer or private worship--usu. used in pl. c: a religious exercise or practice other than the regular corporate worship of a congregation 2 a: the act of devoting b: the fact or state of being ardently dedicated and loyal (as to an idea or person) 3 obs: the object of one's devotion syn see fidelity
hallmark 1 a: an official mark stamped on gold and silver articles in England to attest their purity b: a mark or device placed or stamped on an article of trade to indicate origin, purity, or genuineness 2: a distinguishing characteristic, trait, or feature 2hallmark vt (1773): to stamp with a hallmark
cy.clic or cy.cli.cal adj (1794) 1 a: of, relating to, or being a cycle b: moving in cycles <~ time> c: of, relating to, or being a chemical compound containing a ring of atoms 2 cyclic: being a mathematical group that has an element such that every element of the group can be expressed as one of its powers -- cy.cli.cal.ly also cy.clic.ly adv
5【中文釋義】一個世紀(jì)以前醫(yī)生的話是必然會招致懷疑的，它幾乎被看成是褻瀆神靈的。
【解題分析】冒號表示重復(fù)和解釋，既然醫(yī)生的話被認(rèn)為是褻瀆神靈，當(dāng)然就會遭到懷疑。
【重點詞條】inebirable incontrovertible
6【中文釋義】如此多的美國現(xiàn)代小說是自傳體的，并且又有如此多的自傳體作品小說化了，以至于文體之間有時看上去很大程度上是可以互換的。
【解題分析】整句是一個so--that 的因果結(jié)構(gòu)，原因句中頻繁出現(xiàn)小說和自傳，并且是兩者的相互表達(dá)，所以結(jié)果句中選c答案是顯而易見的。
【重點詞條】interchangeable : capable of being interchanged; esp: permitting mutual substitution <~ parts> -- in.ter.change.abil.i.ty n -- in.ter.change.able.ness n -- in.ter.change.ably adv
misapprehension to apprehend wrongly: misunderstand -- mis.ap.pre.hen.sion n
7.【中文釋義】魯賓的話并不缺乏情緒，它們只是通過小心翼翼地平衡各種突發(fā)地極端情緒來保持平穩(wěn)的語調(diào)。
【解題分析】by前后是手段和因果的關(guān)系，若要保持平穩(wěn)的語調(diào)則應(yīng)盡量減少極端情緒，答案為a。
【重點詞條】equipoise 1: a state of equilibrium 2: counterbalance 2equipoise vt (1664) 1: to serve as an equipoise to 2: to put or hold in equipoise
level : steady, unwavering (2): calm, unexcited 3: reasonable, balanced
8.【中文釋義】她看上去更喜愛時斷時續(xù)的興趣而不是集中大量的努力，這種做法是無可否認(rèn)的；況且，她的完成后的作品的令人難忘的高質(zhì)量就說明了，她和她藝術(shù)之間的真正的關(guān)系絕對不是淺嘗輒止的。
【解題分析】分號句上下句重復(fù)。上句講她的做法是undeniable的，所以下句應(yīng)對她和藝術(shù)的關(guān)系作褒揚(yáng)，而anything but表示否定，故第二空格應(yīng)為貶義詞，b.c.候選，但b的disengaged不能作relationship 的表語，故選c.
【重點詞條】 dabbling n.a superficial or intermittent interest, investigation, or experiment
indecision : a wavering between two or more possible courses of action: irresolution considered 1: matured by extended deliberative thought 2: viewed with respect or esteem
disengage : to release from something that engages or involves ~ vi: to release or detach oneself: withdraw -- dis.en.gage.ment n
9.【中文釋義】因為化石的完美的保存，早期馬蹄蟹的解剖體細(xì)節(jié)才第一次得以澄清，使得科學(xué)家能夠重新衡量馬蹄蟹的演變。

【重點詞條】identify ) 1 a: to cause to be or become identical b: to conceive as united (as in spirit, outlook, or principle) 2 a: to establish the identity of b: to determine the taxonomic position of (a biological specimen) ~ vi 1: to be or become the same 2: to practice psychological identification <~ with the hero of a novel> -- iden.ti.fi.able adj -- iden.ti.fi.ably adv

10.【中文釋義】哲學(xué)家們認(rèn)為一個必須在幫助別人之前非常清醒地克服自己的冷漠的人是比另外一種人做得更高貴的，另外那種人是指那些自身的基本性格導(dǎo)致這些助人行為發(fā)生而不需要事先深思熟慮的人。
【解題分析】一套比較好的題型，第一種人需要must consciously 做一件事。故一對比即可知道后文的without后應(yīng)填上consciously對應(yīng)的同義詞。答案選e。
【重點詞條】duplicity 1: contradictory doubleness of thought, speech, or action; esp: the belying of one's true intentions by deceptive words or action 2: the quality or state of being double or twofold 3: the technically incorrect use of two or more distinct items (as claims, charges, or defenses) in a single legal action
11.【中文釋義】這議員試圖來使公眾相信他對參加第二屆連任不感興趣是不真誠的，考慮到他的競選委員會的極為公開的募集資金的活動。
【解題分析】該題題干與98年4月section 4的第五題幾乎完全一樣，邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)也一樣，只不過4月份的考卷中議員說了真話，而11月份中又說了假話而已。
12.【中文釋義】盡管管理的變化可能顯得是預(yù)示了公司的命運(yùn)的轉(zhuǎn)變，更多的可能是它的影響微不足道。
【解題分析】上下句轉(zhuǎn)折，上句談這種轉(zhuǎn)變可能會有作用，下句的主語是its impact，下句應(yīng)對上句提出否定，答案e的 inconsiderable指影響力微不足道，表否定，成為正確答案
【重點詞條】betray 1: to lead astray; esp: seduce 2: to deliver to an enemy by treachery 3: to fail or desert esp. in time of need 4 a: to reveal unintentionally b: show, indicate c: to disclose in violation of confidence ~ vi: to prove false syn see reveal -- be.tray.al n -- be.tray.er n

13.【中文釋義】最近發(fā)現(xiàn)的一種古老的鳥的骨骼表明這個古代的動物，不象更早的鳥和爬行動物的祖先，它的頭部沒有牙齒，在這方面它比今天的鳥類提前了。
【解題分析】this ancient creature指代上文的 bird ，所以第一空格填 ancient 的同義詞，可選a和 c，下文中又有了一次比較，可得知這個古代的鳥沒有牙齒，而它和今天的鳥在有沒有牙齒這個問題上是相同還是不同呢？當(dāng)然，今天的鳥也沒有牙齒，所以答案選 c。
【重點詞條】foreshadow vt (1577): to represent, indicate, or typify beforehand: prefigure -- fore.shad.ow.er n
14.【中文釋義】盡管很多人使用順勢治療法來解決健康問題，但其他人不支持另類治療法，反而依賴傳統(tǒng)的醫(yī)藥治療。
【解題分析】第二空格為分隔結(jié)構(gòu)，重復(fù)前文，alternate treatment 與 traditional medical treatments 又顯然是反義詞，故兩空格應(yīng)為同義詞，可直接選擇得答案c。
【重點詞條】homeopathic 1: of or relating to homeopathy 2: of a diluted or insipid nature -- ho.meo.path.i.cal.ly adv
employ 1 a: to make use of (someone or something inactive) <~ a pen for sketching> b: to use (as time) advantageously c (1): to use or engage the services of (2): to provide with a job that pays wages or a salary 2: to devote to or direct toward a particular activity or person <~ed all her energies to help the poor> syn see use -- em.ploy.er n 2em.ploy n (1666) 1 a: use, purpose b: occupation, job 2: the state of being employed
