參考答案:
1. B. catch a cold (感冒)是固定的搭配。
2. B. vanish是 disappear的近義詞,是“消失”,所以disappear 是答案。另外,linger 是“逗留”,renew是“使更新”。
3. D. prior to是“在……之前”,所以 before是答案。
4. C. last是“最近過去”,而 past 是正合此義。
5. A. astonish和 surprise是近義詞,是“使吃驚”。
6. D. 該短語的語義可從句義推出,該句說“當(dāng)兩人在談話時(shí)……是不禮貌的”。備選答案中,to stand in between(站在中間)和 to sit in between(坐在中間)在語義效果上等值,所以相互排除,而to talk loudly是“大聲地說話”,interrupt是“打斷”,比較而言,interrupt更合適。而實(shí)際上我們也經(jīng)常說“別打斷別人的談話”。
7. A. 畫線詞break有多種含義,但因它的賓語是record(記錄), 所以其語義是“打破”。而 beat的基本含義是“打,勝過”。
8. A. 畫線詞settle有多種含義,但因它的賓語是dispute(爭奪), 所以其語義是“解決”。而 solve的基本含義是“解決”,所以solve是答案。備選答案中 Untie = un + tie(系),un是否定前綴。
9. A. 畫線詞account for有多種含義,但因它的賓語是your absence(你的缺席),所以其語義是“解釋”。 而 explain的基本含義是“解釋”,所以explain是答案。備選答案中,excuse是及物動詞(后面必須跟賓語),所以在這里不合適。
10.B. 畫線詞limited的含義是“有限的”,而四個(gè)備選答案均是常見詞匯,且前三個(gè)語義相近,都有“小的”的含義(low是“低的”)。所以這道題是考辨詞。因small修飾可數(shù)名詞,little修飾不可數(shù)名詞, 而tiny 的語義是“微小的”,一般指體積。看原題干:limited后是number, 而number是可數(shù)名詞,所以答案是B.
11.C. 畫線詞widen含義較單一,是“加寬”,且widen = wide + (e)n (en加在部分形容詞后構(gòu)成“使……變得更……”之意)。而備選答案中broaden 也是由此法構(gòu)成:broaden = broad + en ,所以可先觀察該詞,而 broaden的基本含義是“加寬”。
12.B. 畫線詞convert含義較單一,是“轉(zhuǎn)換”,因它的賓語是money(錢), 所以其語義是“換”。而 change的基本含義是“換”,所以change是答案。
13.C. 畫線詞foster有多種含義,在foster眾多的詞義中包含了cultivate的含義,所以答案是cultivate.
14.A. 畫線詞regret主要語義是“為……致歉”。 而 sorry的基本含義是“為……致歉”, 所以sorry是答案。
15.D. 畫線詞outcome含義單一,是“結(jié)果”。 而 result的基本含義是“結(jié)果”, 所以result是答案。
