1.
Although she gives badly () titles to her musical compositions, they () unusual combinations of materials including Gregorian chant, Asian scale patterns and rhythms, electronic sounds, and bird songs.
A.
Exotic belie
B.
Eccentric deploy
C.
Traditional exclude
D.
Imaginative disguise
E.
Conventional incorporate
分析：首先看到although想到上下分句逻辑反义，后半句开头的they指代的上句的musical compositions, 下半句的意思主要是说这些资料结合了很多的unusual的东东，内容是很丰富的有不寻常的，但有although，所以题目应该是不丰富或者是不是不寻常既寻常的广义词，对应到E，也只有这个选项了
2.
Even though the folktales Partout collected and retold were not solely French in origin, his versions of then were so decidedly French in style that later anthologizes of French folktales have never () them
A．
Excluded
B．
Admired
C．
Collected
D．
Promoted
E．
Comprehended
分析：even though前后反义，上半句说这个P收集的东东were not solely——不唯一，也就是说别人那也有，下句的转折就应该说这个东东唯一，别人那没有，而空格前面有never, them指代的当然是P收集的东东，从来不如何如何要表示一个东西是唯一的话那只能这么说“从来不排除它，或者是从来不 不包括它”，所以A
3.
In arguing against assertions that environmental catastrophe is imminent, her book does not ridicule all predictions of doom but rather claims that the risks of harm have in many cases been ()
A.
Exaggerated
B.
Ignored
C.
Scrutinized
D.
Derided
E.
Increased
分析：上半句是个状语从句，含义应该修饰主句的谓语动词，上半句的意思大体是说对与环境灾难要来临的结论持反对意见，下半句有个but rather, 前面大致意思是她的书不是全盘否定上个状语从句中的assertion，就证明这个assertion部分是对的，但是but rather表反义，即使对也存在瑕疵，锁定在A/B选项中，这里我就解释不清为什么选A不选B了，总之就是分析到这感觉就是说的“被夸大”了的事，所以选A
4.
There seems to be no () the reading public’s thirst for books about the 1960’s: indeed, the normal level of interest has () recently because of aspiration of popular television documentaries.
A.
Quenching
moderated
B.
Whetting
mushroomed
C.
Curtailing
waned
D.
Ignoring
transformed
E.
Slaking
increased
分析：第一个空格应该填的词根public’s thirst对应，冒号后面表解释上半句，同义，先看because 后面，说是因为电视题材流行的aspiration,前面说的是books,所以这里应该是说books被电视所取代了，或者是books的重要性，人们对它的兴趣已经转到电视上去了，而第二个空格前the normal level of interest对应的是应该是public’s thirst for books, 那第二个空格就因该填一个动作向下的词，C直接选出来
5.
Despite a tendency to be overtly (), the poetry of the Middle Ages often sparks the imagination and provides lively entertainment, as well as pious sentiments
A.
Diverting
B.
Emotional
C.
Didactic
D.
Romantic
E.
Whimsical
分析: despite可知前后句反义，后半句说这个poetry能够启发人，带给人entertainment根据despite前面应该就是不启发人，让人感到没意思的那种感觉，C说教的，尊尊教诲的，这个词又是负面词又很符合原意，所以C了
6.
One of the first () of reduced burning in Amazon rain forests was the chestnut industry: smoke tends to drive out the insects that, by pollinating chestnut tree, allow chestnuts to develop.
A.
Reformers
B.
Discoveries
C.
Casualties
D.
Critics
E.
Beneficiaries
分析：冒号表解释作用，冒号后面说烟让这个昆虫离开，这个昆虫呢对C树是有危害的，昆虫一走C树就生长的和好，就是说烟对C树有好处，前半句说减少reduced燃烧，那烟就少，烟少C树就不好，所以空格填一个负面词， 且要表达一种结果，应该是C了
7.
The research committee urged the archaeologist to () her claim that the tomb she has discovered was that of Alexander the Great since her initial report has been based only on ()
A.
Disseminate
supposition
B.
Withdraw
evidence
C.
Undercut
caprice
D.
Document
conjecture
E.
Downplay
facts
分析：我在看到only这个词的时候，就武断的判断出第二个空格应该填一个不好的词，按着这个思路，锁定的有A，C，D，看第一个空，后半句说人们认为她的报告是有瑕疵的，那么前半句就应该说test这个报告的真伪，这个报告指代的是her claim, document不仅有文献的意思，还有证明的意思，所以我直接选D，但是错了，这道题求高人指点~
1.
In the nineteenth century, novelists and unsympathetic travelers portrayed the American West as a land of () adversity, whereas promoters and idealists created () image of a land of infinite promise.

• Lurid
  a mundane
• Incredible
  an underplayed
• Dispiriting
  an identical
• Intriguing
  a luxuriant
• Unremitting
  a compelling

分析：有逗号，前后分隔且上下句必有重复，有whereas上下反义，这两句显然是个对比，前后说land 是adversity的，不幸的，那后面就应该是“好”，则第二个空格确定为正态度的词，直接E了，compelling令人赞叹的image，而且我弱弱的感觉那个infinite 应该对应第一个空格，但不知道为什么都表示相同的“无尽”，这块又点疑问
2.
Honeybees tend to be more () than earth bees: the former, unlike the latter, search for food together and signal their individual findings to one another

• Insular
• Aggressive
• Differentiated
• Mobile
• Social

分析：冒号表示对前面的解释说明，一起找食物并且在发现食物后告诉其他人，后半句强调的是与其他蜜蜂发生关系，如果要说勤劳的话就不应该说together了，而且后面那个signal也明显和工作不待，所以E
3.
Joe spoke of superfluous and () matters with exactly the same degree of intensity, as though for him serious issues mattered neither more nor less than did ()

• Vital
  trivialities
• Redundant
  superficialities
• Important
  necessities
• Impractical
  outcomes
• Humdrum
  essentials

分析：看到那个with exactly the same degree of intensity, 迅速判断出空格和superfluous是两个相反概念的词，这两个相反概念的词达到了同等程度的intensity，肤浅的对应的就应该是重要的，本质的，直接A了，不知道这么想对不对？求解~
4.
The value of Davis’ sociological research is compromised by his unscrupulous tendency to use materials () in order to substantiate his own claims, while () information that points to other possible conclusions.

• Haphazardly
  deploying
• Selectively
  disregarding
• Cleverly
  weighing
• Modestly
  refuting
• Arbitrarily
  emphasizing

分析：D的研究被他的一个动作削弱了，那第一个空格应该是个负动作，我感觉A更好，但是答案选B，对此表示不解，而且第二个空格是如何分析到disregarding的？求解~
5.
Once Renaissance painters discovered how to () volume and depth, they were able to replace the medieval convention of symbolic, two dimensional space with the more () illusion of actual space

• Reverse
  conventional
• Portray
  abstract
• Deny
  concrete
• Adumbrate
  fragmented
• Render
  realistic

分析：这道题我没有找到具体的对应，有点蒙，two dimensional space 是对应的medieval convention of symbolic吗？想不明白了，求解~
6.
It is assumed that scientists will avoid making () claims about the results of their experiments because of the likelihood that they will be exposed when other researchers cannot () their findings.

• 
  hypothetical
  evaluate
• Fraudulent
  duplicate
• Verifiable
  contradict
• Radical
  contest
• Extravagant
  dispute

分析：没搞明白~那个exposed怎么翻译呢？
