参照答案

36.N）spoiling

本空与前面的spend组成spendtimedoing的搭配，需要动词

ing形式。

备选的有illustrating（论述）和spoiling（喜爱），能与空

后的grandkids组成合理搭配的显然只有spoiling，意为“花更多时

间去宠孙子”。

37.K）radically

本空所在句不缺骨干成分，且本空是修饰differentideas，所

以需要副词。

备选的有mysteriously（神奇地）、radically（根当地）和

separately（分开地）。

能与differentideas组成合理搭配的只有

radically，这里做水平副词，表示丈夫与老婆有着“根本上不一样的看法”。

38.C）disagree

本空为从句中的谓语，因此缺乏动词，由于从句主语为复数

couples，因此需要动词原形或过去式;且要考虑与空后的on组成搭配，应为不及物动词。

备选的有assume（假定）、disagree（不一样意）、observe（察看）和underestimate（低估）。

此中不及物且与on能组成搭

配的只有disagree。

此外，第一段段末提到的丈夫与老婆有着“根本上不一样的看法”也提示了这里所描绘的现象理应是夫妇们不一样意相互的建议。

39.O）underestimate

本空为该句谓语，且与之并列的前半句使用的是一般此刻时，因此需要动词原形，备选的有assume（假定）、observe（察看）和underestimate（低估）。

可以与空后的age组成合理搭配的只有underestimate，意为丈夫们“低估了老婆退休时的年纪”。

此外，前

半句与该句组成转折，而前半句提到的是老婆一般能正确判断丈夫的退休年纪，可知该句应描绘的是丈夫不认识老婆的退休年纪。

40.I）optimistic

本空为表语，且被副词slightly修饰，空气还有more，提示了

应为形容词。

备选的又confidential（机密的）、forthcoming（立刻到

来的）和optimistic（乐观的）。

注意本空形容的是空后的standardof

living（生活标准），能组成合理意思的只有optimistic，意为丈夫比

老婆“对于生活标准要稍微乐观一些”。

41.M）separately

本空与together组成并列，因此应当与together词性一致，为副词。

备选的有mysteriously（神奇地）和separately（分开地）。

能与together意思上组成并列的只有separately，表示正好相反的状态，被or串连，组成选择型的并列。

42.A）assume

本空为该句谓语，且并列的后半句用的是一般此刻时，而本句主语为复数they，因此本空需要动词原形。

备选的有assume（假定）和observe（察看）。

能在这里组成合理意思的只有assume，意为“他们认为他们建议一致”。

43.L）reality

空前的the提示了本空需要名词，空后的is提示了本空需要可数名词单数或不行数名词。

备选的有formula（公式、方案）、package（包裹）和reality（现实）。

这里能组成合理意思的只有

reality，意为“但现实是他们甚至都没有讨论这个话题”。

注意前半句的assume示意了前半句是夫妇们自认为的现象、也就是设想，这也示意43空所在的转折以后的后半句描绘的才是实情。

44.E）forthcoming

本空是在形容的有confidential（

retirementdate（退休日期），需要形容词。

备选

机密的）和forthcoming（立刻到来的）。

能组成合

理意思的只有forthcoming，意为“经常是立刻就要到临的退休日成

为了退休规划的催化剂”，即人们只有靠近退休的时候才会被迫开始做规划。

45.J）package

空前的an后边需要可数名词单数，但early-retirement并不是可

数名词单数，因此本空才理应是被an限制的可数名词单数。

备选的有formula（公式、方案）和package（包裹）。

这里意思更合理的是package，这个词可以表示“一揽子计划”，early-retirementpackage意为“提早退休计划”。
