距离上次考GRE已经快3年了，上一次没有认真复习。GRE题目是一直那么难以理解，还是现在变得更加难以理解，强行合理化。
任何意见和建议都是非常感谢的！

其实第一句话简化一下就是Despite their disagreement, they have nevertheless reached ___ 所以答案很明显是要填一个conclusion性质的词，选E.

第二句注意一下那个our belief,说present is the true locus这个观点被undermined了，那么前半句
就是要说past变得更真实了，可选的就只有才C.

感谢回复哦，vivid的确非常合理，我当时没有转过弯。然后第一个题目答案是A,我也想过是E，不过swift有qucik to reponse这个意思，算是画nexpectedly, 又查到tentative和conclusive是相矛盾的。
