(D) explicit
(E) confusing
KEY:
B
1.关键字:
分号表复指、ontheotherhand表反义
2.前半句话与后半句话由分号连接,应该表示同义,由于前半句中存在no,后半句中存在ontheotherhand进行取反,偶数个否定词不改变词语之间的方向逻辑,故对应单词之间应该是同义关系。

(F)iconoclasm
KEY:
AD
1.关键词:
notonly…butalso变体表递进关系;“,+and”结构等同于分号。
2.先看blank(i)所在的第一句话,blank(i)中应该填入一个名词,用来描述RC这个人对于民乐的一种态度,而RC这个人对于民乐的态度是依据“notonly…butalso…”这个结构的变体,即“notonly…also…”来连接的,因而在这两句中对于RC这个人对民乐的态度应该是程度不同的近义词,而且在also一句中的程度大于notonly中的相关词语的程度。
由于在前半句中给出的是acumen,即“敏锐、敏感”,是对于民乐的一种正态度,因而后面应该也填入一个正态度,即答案应该从A、C中选择。
3.看第二句话中有“Thiswasclearinheragonizingoverhowfartotrytorepresenttheminutedetails”,说明RC这个人对于民乐的态度是可以从她对于细节的把握来看出来的,因而其对待民乐应该是一种重视的态度,故选择A选项。
4.接下来,在第二句中,由于“,+and”结构可以视作分号来看待,因而前后两个半句应该是复指关系,前半句说RC努力体现民乐的细节,用到了agonizing一词,即“不懈努力”之意,因而后半句也应该体现出她这种“努力”的意思,故选择D选项。
5.词语解释:
[1]. (A)reverencefor:
(尊敬)honororrespectfeltorshown:
DEFERENCE

BLANK(i)
BLANK(ii)
(A)polemical
(D)interchangeable
(B)effective
(E)dissimilar
(C)deceptive
(F)vocal
KEY:
CE
1.关键字:
冒号解释说明,yet表示转折
2.Blank(i)中应该填入一个形容词,用来表示politicaladvertising的属性,但就这一句话来说无法确定应该填入什么词语,发现有冒号存于句中,因而politicaladvertising是什么样的广告可以通过后面的解释说明的语句来读出。
3.Blank(ii)中应该填入一个形容词,用来描述参选人的特性。
在冒号后面的句子中,由于yet的存在,表明两句话应该是反义关系。
后半句话说广告将参选人的不同点隐藏起来而使之展现一样的形态,因此前半句话中说参选人的部分应该是他们具有“不同”的特性。
而在这里,广告的作用也体现出来了,即“掩盖”,因此blank(i)中应该填人一种“假冒”色彩的词语进去。
4.词语解释:
[1]. (A)polemical:
(引起争论的)of,relatingto,orbeingapolemic:
CONTROVERSIAL
[2]. (B)effective:
(有效的)producingadecided,decisive,ordesiredeffect
[3]. (C)deceptive:
(具有欺骗性的)tendingorhavingpowertodeceive:
MISLEADING
[4]. (D)interchangeable:
(可互换的,潜台词是“相同的”)capableofbeinginterchanged
[5]. (E)dissimilar:
(不同的)UNLIKE

(A) exacting
(B) copious
(C) respectful
(D) acerbic
(E) scathing
(F) meticulous
KEY:
AF
1.关键词:
likewise表示同义
2.空格中应该填人一个形容词,表示Chase作品所受到的来自于其同时代人们给予的研究是什么样子的。
3.Likewise表示“正如……一样”,因而,前后两句话是同义关系,没有否定词,因而对应词语之间是同义词关系,Chase对于别人作品的态度即是别人对待他作品的态度。
4.词语解释:
[1]. (A) exacting:
(苛求的)tryinglyorunremittinglysevereinmakingdemands
[2]. (B) copious:
(丰富的)yieldingsomethingabundantly
[3]. (C) respectful:
(令人尊敬的)markedbyorshowingrespectordeference

Her ______ should notbeconfusedwith miserliness; aslongasIhaveknownher, shehasalwaysbeenwillingtoassistthosewhoareinneed.
(A) stinginess
(B) diffidence
(C) frugality
(D) illiberality
(E) intolerance
(F) thrift
KEY:
CF
1.关键词:
beconfusedwith表示否定,分号表示复指
2.空格中应该填入一个名词,表示“她”所具有的一种特质。
而这种特质往往会被confusedwithmiserliness,这里beconfusedwith与not两个表示否定的结构同时存在,因而对应词语应该是同义关系。
而本题中miserliness表示“不大方、吝啬之意”,选项中有两组都可以表示“不大方”的同义词,因此应该选什么,要看后半句说了什么。
3.后半句与前半句通过分号连接,因而是复指关系,后半句说“她”实际上并不是一个吝啬之人,而是非常热心帮助别人的人,在后半句中对于这个“她”是一个正评价,因此在前半句中对于“她”的描述也应该通过复指关系前后一致的特点,选取一组相对正的评价填进去。
4.词语解释:
[1]. (A) stinginess:
(吝啬)notgenerousorliberal:
sparingorscantinusing,giving,orspending(贬义词)
[2]. (B) diffidence:
(没自信)thequalityorstateofbeinghesitantinactingorspeakingthroughlackofself-confidence
[3]. (C) frugality:

themore convoluted the structure,themore _______ the ideas.
(A) complicated
(B) engaged
(C) essential
(D) fanciful
(E) inconsequential
(F) involved
KEY:
AF
1.关键字:
冒号解释说明
2.前半句说句子结构mirrors思想,这里mirror不仅表示“反映”之意,还表示更深层次的“相同”的感觉。
因而后半句用冒号对前文进行解释说明时也应该反映出这种“一致”的感觉。
因而用来修饰结构的词语就可以直接迁移至修饰ideas即可。
3.词语解释:
[1]. (A) complicated:
复杂的(consistingofpartsintricatelycombined)
[2]. (B) engaged:
忙碌的(involvedinactivity)
[3]. (C) essential:
必要的(of,relatingto,orconstitutingessence)
