这两道道题目可见http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4bb99f1a01009lqc.html

Compared with their parties, politicians are ___: they are considerably less enduring than the organizations in which they function.
A ubiquitous
B autonomous
C fickle
D immutable
E transitory
参考答案：C
冒号后内容对其前的内容起解释作用，由冒号后内容（政治家要在韧性上远逊色于他们所效力的组织）可推论出空格内容应与enduring形成反义，因而排除ABD；而E从含义上判断应指事物难于持久而非形容人，因而可排除从而选择C（见参考释义）。
fickle:
《Webster》marked by lack of steadfastness, constancy, or stability : given to erratic changeableness
《American Heritage》characterized by erratic changeableness or instability, especially with regard to affections or attachments; capricious
transitory:
《Webster》①tending to pass away : not persistent ②of brief duration : temporary
《American Heritage》existing or lasting only a short time; short-lived or temporary

Chavez’ account of her supervisors’ ___ decision-making belies the agency’s image as little more than ___ bureaucracy.
A cautious…a staid
B ill-informed…a disorganized
C reckless…an incompetent
D systematic…a methodical
E headlong…a timorous
参考答案：C
little more than即为no more than，因而空格2内容应表否定，由此可排除AD；而由belies可推论出空格1内容仍应表否定，且应与空格2内容一致，即可由空格1内容推出空格2内容，因而可排除BE从而选择C（见参考释义）。
