1. Although political events in different countries were not (i) ________ in the nineteenth century, their interrelationship was (ii) ________ compared with the present, when interdependence has become far greater: (iii) ________ has ceased to be an option.

Blank (i)
A. unconnected
B. trivial
C. simultaneous

Blank (ii)
D. conditional
E. superficial
F. transparent

Blank (iii)
G. isolationism
H. resilience
I. idealism

参考答案是: A E G

针对第二个 E 我选择的是 D: conditional
我的理由: 虽然19世纪有联系,但是比起现在,过去的联系是受限制的。感觉可以说,另外就是 看到后面紧跟的句子是 when …has become far greater…
Conditional 可以与 这个 形成对比啊。

为什么 选择 E 呢?


2.  Laws protecting intellectual property are intended to simulate creativity, yet some forms of creative work never enjoyed legal protection 􀀁 a situation that ought to be of great interest, if we see certain form of creative endeavor (i)________ as a result of uncontrolled copying, we might decided to (ii)________ intellectual property law. Conversely, if unprotected creative work (iii)________ in the absence of legal rules against copying, we would do well to know how such flourishing is sustained.

Blank (i)
A. languishing
B. proliferating
C. diversifying

Blank (ii)
D. jettison
E. extend
F. relax

Blank (iii)
G. declines in originality
H. manages to thrive
I. openly invites imitation

暂时缺答案
我觉得答案应该是 A languishing   E extend    H manages to thrive

如果不受控制的盗版 衰弱了 创意,我们应当扩大法律。Conversely,不受保护的作品存活了下来,我们知道作品如何发展。

1. 如何来应对 conversely呢?

2. 但我第一次是选的是: B languishing   D jettison   G declines in originality
如果不受控制的盗版 激增了创意,我们应当抛弃法律。相反的,如果不受保护的作品反而失去创造性,那么我们知道这种繁荣如何发展的。

我现在感觉第一次想的不对,但也不知道错在哪儿?就是怪怪的。错误原因难道是 因为我把最后一句话 we would…当成结论句了么?





3.  Despite a tendency to be overtly ________, her poetry does not consist solely of pious sentiments: it often sparks the imagination and provides lively entertainment.

A. preachy
B. querulous
C. insincere
D. sanctimonious
E. plaintive
F. disingenuous
这里这道题 A D 的意思根本无法形成同义, 另外还查到 pious:  marked by sham or hypocrisy 的意思, 那这样  C F 感觉也有可以选的价值了。



4. With the numerous opponents of the controversial new taxation measure in such a fury, anyone who publicly advocated the measure did not fail to meet with ________ usage.
A. politic
B. severe
C. sober
D. respectful
E. dejected

这里的 did not fail to 相当于 就是肯定,那为什么还要选B? E 不可以么?



5. Pioneering medical research scientist’ (i)________ claims regarding the (ii)________ new researchers make the public wonder their own doctors are not dispensing miracles. There’re forces both external and internal, on scientists that most require them to (iii)________. Without money, there is no science. Researchers must constantly convince administrators who control tax dollars, investors, and individual donors that the work they are doing will make a difference.

Blank (i)
A. modest
B. inflated
C. fastidious

Blank (ii)
D. serious constrains on
E. overblown interpretations of
F. potential benefits of

Blank (iii)
G. improvise
H. oversell
I. generalize
参考答案: B E I
这里表达的意思都是 scientist 在夸大事实,为什么第三空不选oversell??


6. Unquestionably, the particular forms that folly and cruelty take in Jane Austen’s novels are(i)________ the character’s social milieu, which was also Austen’s own; but to realize that one’s society motivates people in unfortunate ways is not necessarily to (ii)________ it, for the alternatives, though different, might be no more (iii)________.

Blank (i)
A. shaped by
B. removed from
C. unrecognizable in

Blank (ii)
D. expose
E. condemn
F. rationalize

Blank (iii)
G. salutary
H. corrosive
I. realistic
参考答案:  A E G

这里的core 不能理解,尤其是 后面两空。第二空是怎么确定的?

1. sth. is conditional的意思是说sth. holds true only if certain conditions are satisfied,这里并没有提到任何关于condition的话题,不要脑补单词的意思。其实这个空很简单,就是让你填一个和great(在语境中)意思相反的词,superficial很合适。
2. 最后一个空比较好填,后半句的such flourishing直接表明前面一个空应该是表达发展的意思。既然conversely的情况是发展,那么前面一句就是受限,languish正合适。如果疏于监管导致创意作品发展受限,那么自然要extend相关的法律。
3. A/D挺对的,都有类似道貌岸然的意思,和pious对应。SE不要求单词意思完全一样,只要在语境中相同就可以了
4. 没看懂这里usage是什么意思
5. 我会选BFH,第二空后面应该是new researches,不然说不通啊。以及wonder后面是不是应该有if

4 usage在 webster里有一个意思是 manner of treating 就是对待的意思。
整个句子意思就是,公开支持的人会被那些反对者treat harshly

1. 是因为我没有查字典么?superficial 是肤浅的,表面的,和great 怎么形成对比呢?

2. 所以 第2题 我第一次错的问题 在于把最后一句话当作整个段落的结论句了?

3. preachy 就是布道的,唠叨的 怎么和 道貌岸然的联系在一起 (好囧)

4. 楼下的童鞋已经回复了 usage了

5. 还是不解

6. 看到你的解释了  也回复了我的想法了  你能不能看出来 我目前最大的问题在哪儿啊

万分感谢!!! 谢谢谢谢!!!

第5题 题源:Also writing in Slate, Yoffe comments that when it comes to stem cells and other high-tech biology, scientists invariably oversell the medical benefits of their research. “Without money,” she writes, “there’s no science. Researchers must constantly convince administrators who control tax dollars, investors, and individual donors that the work they are doing will make a difference.”

应该是oversell,估计答案错了吧。

2. 所以 第2题 我 ...

1. 最好查英文字典,webster上superficial的引申义有not deep or serious,用在这里就是说这种interrelationship只是很浅层的,不太紧密的的联系,和后半句形成了对比。
2. 嗯
3. 这三个词都和虔诚有关,但都不是完全的虔诚。sanctimonious最明显,字典里直接的解释就是 hypocritically pious or devout;preachy则是由preach延伸而来,“布道”是向他人灌输某些宗教或道德观念,但当事人自己是不是相信这些观念我们是不知道的,所以只能说表面上看来他好像很有信仰很有道德;而pious你查过了,某些时候和sanctimonious同义
5. 原文的意思很简单,就是科学家会对科研成果的潜在效益(potential benefits)夸大其词(inflated claims),因为他们缺钱,所以必须过度推销(oversell)
_______________________________
你的问题主要是无法准确把握单词在语境中的引申义,这种对单词的感觉光靠做题和查字典是很难培养的,建议大量广泛地阅读不同的材料。
