section38-4
In the absense of any......caused by danger, hardship, or even cultural difference, most utopia communities deteriorate into.....but enervating backwaters.
A.turmoil....frantic
B. mistrust...naive
C.amelioration...ignorant
D.decimation...intrusive
E. stimulation....placid
第一次做的时候跪了,可能因为自己死磕着第一个空因而看不出逻辑线索。
回头来看的时候,觉得这个题的突破点应该放在enervating backwater中的enervating这样第二个空只有placid可选。就确定了E的答案。
请大家鉴定一下这个判断。
section40-7
The startling finding that variations in the rate of the Earth's rotation depend to an......degree on the weather has necessitated a complete.....of the world's time-keeping methods.
A.unexpected...overhaul
B.anticipated....recalibaration
C.indeterminate.....rejection
D.unobservable....review
E.estimated....acceptance
这个题我本来选的E,因为没觉得startling表示什么特殊的含义。
但答案写的是A,
意思是startling这个词暗示了至少是一种对比状态。所以不能选顺承的意思,要有对比含义。是这个意思吗?
