白皮书 最新习题二
section2
5Although just barely___as a writer of lucid prose,Jones was an

extremely ____editor who worked superberly with other writers in

helping them improving the clarity of their writing.
(A)deficient   muddling
(B)proficient  contentious
(C)adequate    capable
(D)appaling    competent
(E)engaging    inept
从 editor引导的定语从句来看 superberly,应该是一个正面的词修饰editor
剩下BCD选项。Altough提示取反 两个选项 意思相反的只有。。。可惜没有。
答案是C
求解释

31rite
(A)coherent interpretation
(B)improvised act
(C)deductive approach
(D)casual observation
(E)unnecessary addition
rite=a ceremonial act or action
由于ceremonial 对casual 我就选了D（记得observation有仪式的意思）
答案是B

填空：
第二空褒义，排除A,C,E，再看第一空，由于有Although，前后有转折关系，注意第一空前有barely这个关键词，那么这句话的感情色彩就是，尽管仅仅是_____,但却是好的，那么前面就是感情程度比后一空略弱的词。另外appalling放这完全说不通吧
rite
observation没有仪式的意思，我记得好像有个填空就是rite和improvise对应的，记不大清了
附：MW:
observation：1 : an act or instance of observing a custom, rule, or law : OBSERVANCE
2 a : an act of recognizing and noting a fact or occurrence often involving measurement with instruments *weather observations*  b : a record or description so obtained
3 : a judgment on or inference from what one has observed;  broadly   : REMARK, STATEMENT
4 obsolete   : attentive care : HEED
5 : the condition of one that is observed
