1.
An example of illegitimate method of arugument is to lump ------- cases together deliberately under the ------- that the same principles apply to each.
(C) irrelevant. .assumption
(D) dissimilar. .pretense
感觉under the pretense找不到严格的对应,而且dissimilar不如irrlevant合乎argument和cases的语义,而且assumption也是个中性词挑不出毛病吧
2.
Prudery actually draws attention to the vice it is supposed to -------; the very act that forbids speech or prohibits sight ------- what is hidden.
(C) repress. .dramatizes
(D) obviate. .fosters
答案给的fosters很明显没有跟hidden构成反义的感觉~我选的dramatizes M-W的解释to present or represent in a dramatic manner其中dramatic的AHD解释有一条arresting or forceful in appearance or effect
3.
Since many casual smokers develop lung cancer and many ------- somkers do not, scientists believe that individusls differ in their ------- the cancer-causing agents known be present in cigarette smoke..
(A) heavy. .susceptibility to
(C) habitual. .proximity to
我查到的proximity只有接近的意思,这里说不通啊。我认为答案是A
4.
Far from being -------, Pat was always ------- to appear acquiescent.
(A) unctuous. .loath
(B) brazen. .reluctant
(C) ignoble. .concerned
(D) obsequious. .eager
(E) gregarious. .willing
记得陈圣元书上解释unctuous在这个句子里是跟acquiescent同义重复。但我这个意思我没查到。
如果真选A的话可不可以这样理解,far from being在这里表让步,即:虽然不假殷勤||假热心||做作,但P也绝不表现得passive assent
我记得在图书馆里看到一本小书上给的答案是E,即far from表示逗号前后纯反义,但是这个E好发散啊一点都不必然,跟acquiescent没啥联系

When theory formerly considered to be ------- in the objectivity are found instead to reflect a consistent observational and evaluating bias, then the presumed neutrality of science gives way to the recognition that categories of knoledge are human -------.
(A) disinterested. .constructions
(B) callous. .errors
(C) verifiable. .prejudices
(D) convincing. .imperatives
(E) unassailable. .fantasies
这个题是我最想问的,陈圣元书和教我填空的杜昶旭老师在langlib给的答案都是A,但我认为肯定是错的。怎么能说在客观性上表现的客观呢?这难道不是重复了吗?就好像你要表达这个苹果很红,你总不能说它在红色上表现的很红吧,除非你承认在红颜色上表现的很绿也不算疯话;只能说在红色上很浓很深对吧。第一个空应该填一个广义的正评价去说明theory有objectivity就足够,排除AB。再判断prejudices和fantasies过于负面,而imperative正好与categories构成联系(分类嘛自然就是人们强加上去的),所以我选的D。以上是我的看法,欢迎大家拍我!
6.
The National Archives contain information so ------- that researchers have been known never to publish because they cannot bear to bring their study to an end.
(A) divisive
(B) seductive
(C) selective
(D) repetitive
(E) resourceful
对这个出了名的恶心题大家貌似都达成了共识选divisive,陈圣元书里给的好像也是A。理由就是“分裂不和”勉强还算个一个负评价。但大家说说D在这里是不是更好呢?反对的童鞋肯定会说repetitive在句子中找不到重复,但你能说divisive就一定能bring their study to an end吗?更何况这个题中涉及的researchers和study说明这句话说的学术领域的事,“重复”在学术领域就应该算是一种负评价了吧,都有前人研究出来了你还做个锤子啊,又不是毕业设计。所以我觉得D更靠谱作者: emcts 时间: 2011-5-2 09:35:31
首先声明一下,本人非牛人,看到你发的讨论题目贴,干到现在好少人发这种学习贴了,所以,本着相互鼓励,相互促进的原则,大家一块看看,我的解释仅仅是抛砖引玉,力求准确,但不一定是最对的,第一次回这类贴,没有经验
NO.1你分析的比较好,但是same对应的应该就是dissimilar吧,要不illegitimate 提想不出来了,而irrelevant不相关的,和same没什么关系!还有第二个空,pretense有一种欠扁的意思,向来是不实际的假定,MW上面说了一个例子under false pretenses,正好与deliberately呼应,assumption中性词,所以不太好!
NO.2引自笑看红尘的答复:乔装打扮强调外表,反而会引起他人对他想要掩盖/阻止(obviate)的缺陷(vice)的注意,这正如(;)禁止言论或禁止观看的行为会让隐藏的东西更明显/更引人注目(foster有促进的意思,本来想掩盖的结果促进了被发现)% w1
sufeiya8(sly) 解释:分隔句所以是重复,而actually 提示是前后反义。实际上draw attention 所以suppose to 不关注;the very actor 对应的是 prudery,空格对应 draw attention,hidden刚好对应前一个空格。所以,选择d。c的dramatize似乎说不过去。
NO.3 since many casual smokers develop lung cancer and many __ smokers do not, scientists believe that individuals differ in their __ the cancer--causing agents known to be present in cigarette smoke.0 `/ g, ^7 n( v2 \8 z, oA heavy...susceptibility to b chornic.. concern about c habitual..proximity toDdevoted..reliance uponEregular.. exposure
这个不选C吧,大哥是不是看错了,选A
边边解释:casual与第一个空应该是泛反义关系,ACE都可以,重点是第二个空,破折号表解释说明,causing agents是癌症的诱因,对应的是第二个空,只能和易感性,即susceptibility对得上,随意选A.

(选C么,如果是这样,首先,casual与habitual是一对完美对应,题目做多了你就有这个感觉了;另外,susceptibility的对象一般是病菌、疾病,而很少是药剂--agents,这里proximity的适用范围更广)

(首先这题确实有争议,后半句希望你再好好读一遍,because后面的意思是他们不忍心让研究结束,也就是说divisive指的是引起分歧,正因为引起分歧不能得出一致结论,因此他们不忍心让研究结束。)
我也觉得我选完选项后总要再确认一下句子的语义,我知道这个习惯不好~可能是原来XDF课上杜昶旭总强调正确选项合理且必然的原因吧~
额我觉得第6题是你没把意思看清楚吧,呵呵,这里有个never,再加上个cannot两个否定,所以是“如果information被publish的话就会bring to an end吧”,所以空格填bring to an end的同义
还有第5题我以前也看过很多解释都是“找重复”,但ETS也没说做填空的方法就是像CQ说的那样连句子意思都不看就只关注敏感词吧。我觉得这样生搬硬套不对噢。而且第5题我绝对没有加入自己的想法就是严格的按逻辑走的,就算是找重复objectivity已经跟bias重复了
