本来认为这种题目是没有什么花头的, 结果今天做了一套卷子居然错了2个. 而是是死不瞑目的那种. 请求指点. 做这个题目有什么要特别注意的地方.

4. The word “tangled” in line 10 is closest in
meaning to
(A) buried beneath
(B) twisted together
(C) quickly formed
(D) easily dated
答案是A.
上下文:
Since then, over 100 tons of fossils, 1.5 million from vertebrates, 2.5 million from
(10) invertebrates, have been recovered, often in densely concentrated tangled masses. The
creatures found range form insects and birds to giant ground sloth’s, but a total of 17
proboscides (animal with a proboscis or long nose)- including mastodons and
Columbian mammoths- have been recovered, most of them from Pit 9, the deepest
bone-bearing deposit, which was excavated in 1914. Most of the fossils date to between
(15) 40,000 and 10,000 years ago
不明白, tangle 这个词本来就是twist together 的意思呀. 下面一句range from 什么的不是更说明了问题呀.

38. The wore “peculiar” in line 19 is closest
in meaning to
(A) strange
(B) distinctive
(C) appealing
(D) biological
答案是A.
上下文:
The women used their tools to process all of the fish and marine mammals brought in
by the men. They cleaned the fish, and dried vast quantities of them for the winter. They
sun-dried fish when practical, but in the rainy climate of the coastal area they also used
smokehouses to preserve tons of fish and other seafood annually. Each product had its
own peculiar characteristics that demanded a particular way of cutting or drying the meat,
and each task required its own cutting blades and other utensils.
我选了B. 感觉peculiar 既有strange (奇怪)又有distinctive (特别, 独特)的意思
以下摘自longman: peculiar
1. strange, unfamiliar, or a little surprising
There was a peculiar smell in the kitchen. Something peculiar is going on. It seems very peculiar that no one noticed Kay had gone.
2 be peculiar to somebody/something
if something is peculiar to a particular person, place, or situation, it is a feature that only belongs to that person or only exists in that place or situation
The problem of racism is not peculiar to this country.
看到原文peculiar 前面有own, 所以选了distinctive. 不知道我对词义的理解又在哪里出了偏差.
谢谢.  |
