French folktales almost always take place within the basic ____ that
correspond to the ____ setting of peasant life: on the one hand, the
household and village on the other, the open road.
(A) contexts......hierarchical
(B) structures......personal
(C) frameworks......dual
(D) chorologies......generic
(E) narratives......ambivalent
我的思路:
显然,只有dual和ambivalent表示“两个”的意思,C、E候选。
由于“on the one hand....on the other hand”,所以两者应该有对立的含义,所以我选E
dual的韦氏解释: consisting of two parts or elements or having two like parts
注意:其中有一个“like”,表示相似,这似乎与on the one hand....on the other hand矛盾??
疑问:
答案是C,究竟on the one hand....on the other hand这个词组有没有表达“对立”含义??

The current penchant for ___ a product by denigrating a rival, named in the advertisement
by brand name, seems somewhat ____: suppose the consumer remembers only the rival's name?
(A) criticizing......inefficient
(B) touting......foolhardy
1.;表并列,同义重复。第二句中的very“恰恰”的意思,表相反,后一空填“阻碍,禁止”“的反义词,"鼓励",前一空填同义词“阻碍,禁止”。显然是D
2.relegate“降级,贬谪”,relegate to“归入,沦为”多为贬义
3.on the one hand....on the other hand指看事物的两个不同角度,比如网络,一方面促进交流沟通,另一方面很多人沉溺于此。
4.没有歧义,不可能是第二种情况,即你所说的“product”指的是“对手的”产品,这句话逻辑颠倒了。通过诋毁竞争对手来批判对手的产品??应该是通过诋毁对手的产品来批判竞争对手吧。要诋毁一个事物,必须找一些证据吧,空穴来风说一个人不好,谁信,要通过他做的事不是人干的才有说服力。ets的思维都是很简单的,不要想的那么复杂。
多谢,但我还有些疑惑:
第一题:very韦氏词义 : being the same one : SELFSAME *the very man I saw*
very并没有“相反”之意,
而且, fosters没有重复draws attention的含义啊??
第三题:“open”和“household and village”显然是有对立的状态(空旷、不空旷的对立)
“ ambivalent”这个词是不是程度太重了,所以不选?
1.very 在此作形容词。当very 作形容词时,它表示恰恰的。那意味着,当它在修饰名词时,这个名词所具备的形容词特点和这个名词所发生的动作或者被发生的动作之间是存在相反关系的。
3.这里没有矛盾的意思,当然这个也涉及一点背景,就是法国人的生活方式,household and village指的的他们很休闲安逸,the open road指的是他们也很开放。这里两个方面,没有矛盾的意思。
