address: 1.對…發表講話,稱呼 2.對付,處理

(A) unreliable

(B) arcane

(C) arrogant

(D) elementary

(E) intuitive

〖解答〗

〖詞彙〗

cant: 1.言不由衷之辭 2.黑話 3.行業術語,慣用套語

uninitiated: 1. 未被接納入會的 2.缺乏某種特定知識和經驗的

arcane: 神祕的,晦澀難解的

〖中譯〗

  例子3

(A) adaptive

(B) selective

(C) inquisitive

(D) receptive

(E) intuitive

〖解答〗

從空格之後表示伴隨狀況的形容詞短語"attentive to...”中可求得與其最接近貼切的近義詞(D) receptive。此外,代入的正確選擇須與另一形容詞"passive"有關。

〖中譯〗

新誕生的人類嬰兒既不是個被動的人物,亦不是個主動的人物,而是那樣一個可被稱爲以主動的.方式顯示出較強接受力的人物,實際上熱切地注意着各種情景和聲響。

  例子4

(A) a compromise ... inimical

(B) an interdependence. .. subsidiary

(C) a counterpoint ... incidental

(D) an equivalence ... prerequisite

(E) a reciprocity ... conducive

〖解答〗

空格Ⅰ需代入一名詞,與此前的"a network of exchanged benefits"在語法上構成同位語,以突出強調“互惠互利”這一概念。(E) reciprocity最好地體現了這一概念。(A) compromise 和(B) interdependence儘管尚能達意,但針對性不強。當然,在空格Ⅱ處,(A)(B)前後不通,(E) "be conducive to"(有利於…)爲正確。

〖詞彙〗

inimical: 1.敵意的 2.有害的,不利的

subsidiary: 附屬的,次要的,補貼的

〖解答〗

〖中譯〗

一種漫無目的,無的放矢式的研究偶爾能揭示出新的事實,甚至是引人矚目的事實;但是,普遍而言,此類事實的出現是有着明確方向的探索帶來的結果。
