yinggo的备考监督贴

yinggoUID: 3362907

   没有加入备考小组，因为我不确信自己能够跟得上进度，不过还是想开个贴，记录一下平时的疑难问题，我是一个非常不喜欢整理笔记的人，应该说根本就是很多年不做笔记了，之前有考过一次G情况不妙- -像G这样宏伟的工程，老是做一段废一段也不行，还是要整理一下- -，我把前几楼全部占上，以后有问题就往这几楼上面搬，每天记录一下自己遇到的不懂的题，也方便之后复习O(∩_∩)O~顺便兴许有大神路过可以答疑一下， 苦逼每日战，一定要坚持 。
  这是今天的 … 陈圣元section37.  5. The notion that a parasite can alter the behavior of a host organism is not mere fiction; indeed, the phenomenon is not even_____.
(A)        observable
(B)        real
(C)        comprehended
(D)√ rare
(E)        imaginable
概念不是虚构，现象并不罕见- -我总感觉这逻辑有点…跟不上啊- -
【应该是找fiction的同义词吧，首先会感觉是imaginable，概念不是虚构，因为现象不是想象出来的，但是还是因为我词义没看准吧，imaginable能想象，并不是 因为现象是不能想象出来的；概念不是虚构，因为现象很普遍---也就是not even rare…我很努力的说服自己。】
7.  Darwin's method did not really____the idea of race as an important conceptual category; even the much more central idea of species was little more than a theoretical____.
(A)√        require.. convenience
(B)        apply.. measurement
(C)        exclude.. practice
(D)        subsume[包含，包容].. validation
(E)        reject.. fact
【达尔文的方法并不xx1这种思想，即使是更中心思想也只不过是一种理论上的xx2，我起初的错误想法就不说了，之前在群里问过，感谢大家积极的思考和回答，不过我还是觉得不得要领，按翻译来说，达尔文的方法并不真正需要属的思想作为一个重要的概念范畴，即使是更中心的种的思想也只不过是理论上的图方便而已。翻译过来感觉还好，但是就是自己不太好想。】群里有提出新的good idea----measurement/practice/fact都是指实际，与theoretical搭配的上的只有convenience,我觉得这个想法通顺多了^^.

(C)        indeterminate.. rejection
(D)        unobservable.. review

【不知道怎么纠结的还是选错了[第二空应该和startling finding 对应，acceptance刚好相反，rejection过了。第一空，应该相当于a certain degree/那就应该是一种可以预见的程度了anticipated.AC意料之外的和不能决定的都不对，unobservable不能观测的那么科学家是怎么知道的。。。]原想法，太错误了，鄙视掉！[第二空overhaul/recalibration/review都可以，第一空startling啊，anticipated了还会震惊吗...]】

(B)        wisdom.. reproof[斥责，责备]
(C)        remorse.. loquacity
(D)√        probity.. guile
(E)        combativeness.. compromise
【这两题之前就错过，第二次做还是错了TAT,T3.第一空没有什么可以排除的选项，第二空要注意susceptibility的意思，易感染，易屈服，高度脆弱。T7.imperturbability在面对一个什么不好的(修饰的先不管)，fail to reassure supporters,reassure/suporters翻译不出来就看成同一个词，冷静没能怎么样，怎么样就是指reassure一个好的方面。wisdom/probity都可入选，instead一个坏的方面，纵观BD，guile比较合适.】

section50. 5/6/7都错了，我要主要吐槽一下今天做的36-exercise 13那篇说pinniped这种生物的，主要说了三个sea lions /walruses/seals，通过比较他们的flipper来说明superficial resemblance到底是取决于descende还是convergent evolution.walruses and seal's flipper呈现一致说明他们是来自同一祖先，而开头部分说，walruses/sea lions来自同一祖先，后面说如果是受环境的影响，walruse和seal的flipper就应该是一致的，读跪死过去了好吗！！中间有一句话说，convergent evolution被undermine了，那就应该是support descended啦，但是descende是开头提出的long remain 的观点不是要被推翻的吗！！/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~水平太差了，读不明白，以后再看QAQ~

觉得justifiable难以理解啊，so... as to...表示如此。。。以至于。。。，如此少针对性意见，以至于几乎任何行动都是合理的，感觉没有明显逻辑关系啊。（也可以说成，“如此少针对性建议，以至于任何行动都不合理啊”）

想问LZ，在没有第一空的情况下，应该怎样判断这一空啊？
