3楼对2题，4楼对一题。

看来这次真的有点难度，这题再放一天，看有没有人全对的。

两位在公布答案之前修改是算数的哦～每题分值为5，加油:loveliness:

基本上1，3，4都是比较有把握的；第2题觉得在AE之间作取舍……

现在对两题；我觉得第3题是肯定对的，这个比较明显……其他的想不到……:confused:

看来要等公布答案

蓝色的题目一般不是特别难。仔细分辨词义就能做出来了

第4题不明白；对于更大的事情我们很开心（？），引起麻烦的都是些锁碎事……
这样解释觉得不通顺？我认为用congested，韦氏的第一个意思：1 : to concentrate in a small or narrow space；我的理解是集中在细小的地方。尽管这个解释也不是太尽人意，但感觉是选项中最好的一个了……:confused:

第一题，对conclusive理解有偏差，认为是"决定性的"；现在想起来，用concomitant是正确的，后面也有提及通过量化lymphocyte proliferation学习therapy的对免疫功能的影响。
