1. 根据puzzle， he was to take her comment literally和she was being ________ 相对，前者表示he对her comment进行评判，而后者则应该是纯粹由she来direct.

谢谢beauty44，不过不太明白第一题讲的意思，它的答案是E啊！

beauty44UID: 167995

呵呵，那真的就需要高人指点了！

第四题有些新想法，adjustment造成的结果可以improve但不能verify正确性，因为如果已经正确了，就不用improve了。

being ________ 与take her comment literally是对比关系。而literally=directly
sarcastic讽刺是指ironic。有非字面的含义。例如表面上表扬但实际上是责骂。

inflated 决定后面的空为improve，由此选e，我一开始也选了d

9 e4 w  u. [7 O6 p怎么排除A呢？

beauty说得不太对吧？perspective有前途的意思，不仅仅用于指景色。呵呵，我也不知道我怎么排除的，觉得B的意思是最顺的，对的也最工整的。

大致说一下吧，不知道对不对：需要注意的是retain，它指的是过去有、现在还有这么一种状态。如果是retain perspective的话，证明该理论被（一直）认为有前途，这和后面的widely spead ...dated是矛盾的呀！一个被广泛认为过时的theory怎么能又被认为有前途呢？

我发现但凡Dendis在那儿问这为什么要排除那个干扰项这种问题，我都是不为什么就排除了:p  仔细想一下ing~~~as to没什么古怪的用法啊，也不是和啥啥连用啊，就是简单的"至于、关于"吧？我认为啊，不一定对。就是说该证据在。。。方面还是inconclusive的，as to指出这个方面而已。
' A8 S( K0 N: L/ J  X$ ]
evidence这种词是有个性的。它的用处就是来证明，后面要不然是证明了，要不然就是没证明。improve/verify都可以。第二个空要注意inflated，还要注意两个空之间的反义关系。improve accuracy之后应当说estimates有accuracy，那么estimates是inflated，但又是对的，只能证明是actural amount是错的，是understated了。

distort是歪曲的意思，但是你看一下understate的意思，“有意轻描淡写”，很准确啊。

for 2,  perspective好像没有“有前途的”意思啊，是再说“prospective"吧？
