RT，网上某处的机经（不好意思啊...出处我只能说到这里了...什么时候的机经应该不用说吧...第一次发帖，不会被锁吧...？）

1、the movie was very quiet, the music _____ and ____, drawing attention to the aural nuance as it does to visual details.
选项有liberally， generously, creatively, sparingly, judiciously, negatively
有童鞋找到了题源：
"Visually splendid and ethically serious....The movie is also refreshingly quiet, using music sparingly and showing as much attention to aural nuance as it does to visual detail."
New York Times - A. O. Scott (11/05/2004)
但是对于除了sparigly，另外一个选项是什么，不太清楚。。。


2、although an author repeats that he is a _____ uncle in his book, he makes a persuasive cae to prove the safety of mutating genes to create new foods in his book.
选项有garrulous， loquacious， reticent， reserved， mute， concise
（因为是机经……所以我很怀疑选项是不是真的是这六个……其实我觉得reticent，reserved和mute都比garrulous额loquacious更贴切。garrulous和loquacious似乎有些牵强，如果说要和“persuasive”构成反义，所以想问问大家的意见）

自顶...
还有另外一道题目，也是来自机经，求解
The economist argued that however much the government might trumpet the value of ____, it had been as bold as any other in its spending programs.(2014. 11 30)
A thrift
Bconsumption
C dialogue
D cooperation
E transparency  
其实这题的答案网上也找得到，选B。解释是bold=冒失。尽管government鼓吹consumption的价值，但是它和其他的spending programs一样的bold。
不过我在做题时的理解就完全相反了，所以选了thrift。我的理解是bold=明显的（的确也有这个意思啊...）。尽管government鼓吹thrift的价值，但是它（在浪费上）和其他的spending program一样的显著。
而且我到现在也不能理解我的理解为什么不对为什么答案就是consumption。。。求大神解答
