[face=Georgia]A thing is "nauseous" if it makes one sick to the stomach; the unfortunate victim of this malaise is "nauseated" . the common misuse of "nauseous" can be illustrated with the following sentence: "When he sits too long, turns his head too abruptly, or walks any distance, he gets dizzy, loses balance, and becomes nauseous." He doesn't become nauseous unless he turns other people's stomachs; he becomes nauseated. A person who is nauseated is no more nauseous than a person who has been poisoned is poisonous.

8. Based on the passage above, which phrase does NOT provide a logical completion to the following sentence? A person who is nauseated is no more nauseous than a person who has been_______.

(A) murdered is murderous

(B) corrupted is corruptible

(C) awed is awesome

(D) irritated is irritating

(E) scared is scary

答案是B竟然让我给蒙对了!但是不知道是怎么得出来的.原文的意思绕来绕去到底想说明什么?能把原文解释一下吗?


16. Colleges boast about the great sizes of their libraries. They quote figures in the hundreds of thousands of volumes, but how many books can a student read in four years-a thousand? What good, then, are all the rest?

Which one of the following statements most accurately expresses the author's main point?

(A) College librarians do not have anything about which they can boast.

(B) No student can read more than a thousand books in four years.

(C) It is silly to boast about a library's size, regardless of whether the library is large or small.

(D) Unused books are a waste of taxpayers' money.

(E) College libraries are unnecessarily large

这个题目当时看到A我就选择了,后面的答案就没有看!E的确说的要 更加准确,但是我想问的是大家如何理解What good, then, are all the rest?



17. Eli: According to many scientists the widespread production and use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)-e.g., to provide coolant for air conditioners-inevitably leads to their escape into the atmosphere where they destroy the vital ozone layer. In my opinion, the continued use of CFCs by humans is like a harmful habit, which, if unchecked, could have disastrous effects on the user, namely self-destruction. The obvious and necessary cure, therefore, is a complete ban on CFC production and use. Mark: The cure you propose would kill, not save, the user. A ban on CFC production and use would cause the destruction of the air conditioning industry.

The source of Mark, and Eli's dispute is their lack of agreement on which one of the following terms?

(A) cure

(B) user

(C) ban

(D) production

(E) destruction

这个题目我选的是E,答案是B.请指点![/face]

1，考的是词汇，把答案中的五对词查一查，再与原文一对，就可选了。
2，没啥好办法，
3，Eli的user是“冰箱的使用者”，同样也是“CFCs”的使用者；Mark的user是“冰箱的制造者”，同样也是“CFCs”的使用者。两者论证，使用了一个内涵不同的概念－user。
