我全都是按照GRE填空逻辑的思维做的，不知道对不对  思考如下

第一个空 A) prospect      
look out upon 仰视， 出生向上仰视，很容易是 前景或者希望 。 后半句会大部分是负评价，所以前面问句要选择褒义词，且要感情最深的，所以不选respect。

第二个空 D) spectacular      
preceded  前后构成空间时间上的对比，所以直接把后面取非得到前面的答案。

第三个   F) suspect
less   more 构成取非   直接填写 know的反义词，但是选项中没有直接反义，所以找上意词填进去。

第四个  E) spectators
sightseers  and___     and 是条件状语从句中的一个小连接，所以直接填写 sightseers 的同义词即可。
