(D) elegance...earthiness
(E) proriety...bashfulness
答案D,我选C
2.前后对应，注意后面vulgarity amid..circumlocutions of a gentleman.老式学校的绅士应该是彬彬有礼的，所以用了mellifluous circumlocutions(流畅而婉转的叙述)来形容gentleman的演讲技巧，这个对应的是elegance优雅的一面，另一个空对应的是vulgarity粗俗的，所以两者的混合统一是startling。"

(A)ambiguous
(B)provisional
(C)menial  
(D)unique
(E)mediocre

(A)profusion  
(B)precision
(C)variety
(D)clarity4
(E)economy
答案E,我选D
5.was contradicted by表示前后成分相反，前面说了perfection was measured by abundant fecunity，后面对应同等成分是perfection was displayed in the __ of creation.注意前面是数量的丰富，所以后面也应该是在数量上的稀少，economy这儿是节约的意思。

(A)intrigued
(B)repelled
(C)measured
(D)accelerated

(E)indeterminate.. rationale
答案D,我选C
7.首先根据提示词deliberately确定第二空可以选C和D，然后根据后面定语the same principles apply to each确定为D，irrelevant是无关的，不切题的，dissimilar不相同的，句子是说用同一个原理解决所有争议，那说明这些case是与主题相关的，只是存在个性差异。
8.At first, I found her gravity rather intimidating; but as I saw more of her, I found that____ was very near the surface.
(A) seriousness
(B) confidence
(C) laughter"
(D) poise
(E) determination
答案选C,我选D,如何对应
8:gravity--seriousness, intimidating-daunting, 其实都有很严肃，不苟言笑的意思，而后半句根据题干的提示很明显是反义，当然选C
9.It is ironic that a critic of such overwhelming vanity now suffers from a measures of the oblivion to which he was forever____ others, in the end, all his____ has only worked against him.
(A) dedicating...self-possession,
(B) leading...self-righteousness;
(C) consigning...self-adulation7
(D) relegating...self-sacrifice)
(E) condemning...self-analysis
答案选C,我选A,搞不懂..."
9:先看后半个空对应overwhelming vanity，选B和C；再看前半个，因为有ironic取反的提示，应该和overwhelming vanity相反，没有了自负还怎么领导别人，所以只能选C
10.The succefful ___ of an archaeological site requires scientific konwledge as well as cultural ___.
(A) evolution...awareness
(B) revelation...depth"

11.Since the author frequently ___ other scholars,his objection to disputes is not only irrelevant but also ___.
(A) supports...overbearing
(B) provokes...frightening
(C) quotes...curious
(D) ignores...peevish
(D) attacks...surprising
答案E,我选C,什么意思呢
第11题：not only....but also是递进，第二空应该比irrelevant程度更深，而且第一个空也应该是反面色彩的。
12.A war, even if fought for individual liberty and democratic rights, usually requires that these principles be----, for they are----the regimentation and discipline necessary for military efficiency.
(A)espoused.. contrary to
(B)suppressed.. fulfilled through
(C)suspended.. incompatible with
(D)followed.. disruptive of
(E)rejected.. inherent in,
答案C,我选的A,"suspended"如何理解,我怎么觉得A更好啊?
第12题：前面even if 是转折，所以第一个空要填与前面相反的，espouse是支持，第二个空也应该填一个反面的词。由第二空可知：A,C,D符合。由第一空知选C
13.Nnmber theory is rich in problems of an especially___ sort: they are tantalizingly simple to state but___ diffcult to solve.
(A)cryptic...deceptively
(B)spurious...equally
(C)abstruse...ostensibly
(D)elegant...rarely
(E)vexing...notoriously
答案E,我选A,完全迷茫..
第13题：第二空与前面所说相反，前面是简单的诱人，那后面应该是非常难，只有第二空符合。
14.Created to serve as perfectly as possible their workaday___, the wooden storage boxes made in America's Shaker communities are now____ for their beauty.
(A)environment...accept
(B)owners...employed
(C)function...valued
(D)reality...transformed,
(E)image...seen
答案C,我选A,我是看的"beauty"直接选的第1个空,对应错了..
14：句中的now表明全句是时间对比。前半句说过去制作是为了普通的空格，那么现在的美观应该和workday相对应。所以应该是一个正面色彩的词。只有A和C符合。A选项翻译不同，当初被制造出来为了自可能完美地实现其普通的“环境“，说不通。所以选C.
15.Changes of fashion and public taste are often____and resistant to analysis, and yet they are among the most____gauges of the state of the public's collective consciousness.
(A)transparent...useful*
(B)ephemeral...sensitive
(C)faddish...underutilized
(D)arbitrary...problematic
(E)permanent...reliable
答案B,我选A,又是"sensitive",郁闷...
15：空格一由and和后面的难于分析相连接，意思应该保持一致，所以B和D可以保留，前面说的是这种变化不好，那么转折之后就应该说它好了，所以D排除。
16.One of the archaeology's central dilemmas is how to reconstruct the ____ of complex ancient societies from meager and often____ physical evidence.
(A)riddles...obsolete
(B)details...irrefutable!
(C)intricacies...equivocal
(D)patterns...flawless
(E)configurations...explicit  
答案C,我选的A,但equivocal不是仅指说话含糊不清么?A的话第一个空也不对,指点一下.
16. obsolete是过时的意思吧，____ physical evidence，不合适
17.An obvious style, easily identified by some superficial quirk, is properly____ as a mere mannerism, whereas a complex and subtle style____ reduction to a formula.
(A)avoided...risks
(B)decried...resists
(C)prized...withstands3
(D)identified...consists of
(E)cultivated...demands
答案B,我选D,我是直接看题目里的"identified"和选项里的对应的,搞不懂ing...,
17. An obvious style, easily identified by some superficial quirk, is properly____ as a mere manneris
由这句easily identified by some superficial quirk可以猜测，第一个空填负态度，所以B最适合，然后拿第2个空验证一下，前后2句强对比，resists意思正确。
18.All____ biological traits fall into one of two categories: those giving their possessors greater____ the environment and those rendering them more independent of it.
(A)widespread...detachment from
(B)beneficial...control over;
(C)successful...freedom from
(D)neutral...compatibility with
(E)harmful...advantage in
答案B,我选D,"分两类"怎么看都应该是"neutral"的呀?怎么会是"beneficial"的呢?句子意思不理解.
18:因为后面两个都是好的方面，所以第一个空要填一个正面的词
19.Human nature and long distance have made exceeding the soeed limit a ____ tradition in the state, so the legislators surprised no one when, acceding to public practice, they ____ increased penalties for speeding.
(A)disquieting...endorsed
(B)long-standing...considered
(C)controversial...suggested
(D)cherished...rejected
(E)hallowed...investigated
答案D,我选的C
19.前因后果，前面说了human nature and long distance have made exceeding，speed limit和a __ tradition in the state实际上同位宾语，既然是tradition当然原本是受大众支持的，所以第一空可以选支持的词，B, D, E，然后前面原因已经解释情况的变化已经超出过原先的规则，所以结果是大众反对提高超速的处罚。选D。
20.As long as the nuclear family is ____ a larger kinship group through contiguous residence on undivided land, the pressure to ___ and thus to get along with relativies is strong.
(A)nurtured among...abstain
(B)excluded from...compromise,
(C)embeded in...sharｅ
(D)scattered throughout...reject
(E)accepted by...lead
答案C,我选的B.
20.这题很容易判断为C，前后两句分别对应两空，the nuclear family is __ a larger kinship group，注意前后两者都是群体，只不过是一个小的在一个大的之中而已，所以应该可能是C或E，而不是D，因为只有可能是小的分隔大的，而不是大的分隔小的。后面and thus表示递进，get along with relatives，根据relatives可以判断C更合适，relatives之间是平等而没有层次的领导。

21.The author argues for serious treatment of such arts as crochet and needlework, finding in too many art historians a cultural blindness ____to their ____textiles as a medium in which women artists predominate.
(A)traceable...prejudice against;
(B)opposed...distrust of
(C)referring...need for  
(D)reduced...respect for
(E)corresponding...expertise in
答案A,我选D,怎么对应呢?意思也不太明白...
21 从第二个空入手，空前由乌珠带刺his,指代上稳得historian,而上句historian的动作是blindness,所以直接对应prejudiced选A
22.Human reaction to the realm of thought is often as strong as that to sensible presences; our higher moral life is based on the fact that ____sensations actually present may have a weaker influence on our action than do ideas of ____ facts.
(A)disturbing...ordinary
(B)material...remote!
(C)emotional...impersonal:
(D)definitive...controversial
(E)familiar...symbolic
答案B,我选C.
22 分号句同义重复，上句话是说reaction to thought和sensible  presence同样重要，或者翻译成。。。不必。。。次， 反正就是强调前者很重要，下居第一个空对应前者，第二个空对应后者.
23.Since the process of atherosclerosis cannot be ____in humans, thebest treatment known at this time is ____of the disease.
(A)reversed...preventio
(B)discovered...remissioｎ
(C)defined...explanation
(D)alleviated...detection
(E)precipitated...containment
答案A,我选E.
23和疾病有关的肯定是prevention或cure之类的,不可能出来contaminate
24 Hampshire's assertions, far from showing that we can ___ the ancient puzzles about objectivity, reveal the issue to be even more ___ than we had thought.
a, adapt... pressing,
b, dimiss...relevant
c, rediscover...unconentional
d, admire...elusive
e, appreciate...interesting
答案选b
far from showing与主干的reveal显然是一组反义动词，因而两个空格就应表示为对the issue的完全相反的态度。在这里只有B是相反的意味，dimiss是忽略的意思，即为不重要，正好与relevant对应。
25 In many science fiction films,the opposition of good and evil is portrayed as a ___ between technology, which is ___ , and the errant will of a depraved intellectual.
a, fusion...useful
b, struggle...dehumanizing
c, parallel...unfettered
d, conflict...beneficent
e, similarity...malevolent
答案选d
以上两道题没看懂意思，麻烦指教一下。
全句实际上为：the opposition is portrayed as a...,可知答案在B和D中，并且可以判断出“the opposition"之后的介词短语与第一个空格之后的介词短语重复，因为errant will与evil重复，所以第二个空格应与good重复。所以选D
26 Broadway audiences have become inured to ___ and so ___ to be pleased as to make their ready ovations meaningless as an indicator of the quality of the production before them.
a, sentimentality...reluctant
b, condescecsion...distinclined
c, histrionics...unlikely!
d, cleverness...eager
e, mediocrity...desperate"
这道题答案选e，我选c为什么不行？
首先因为是be pleased as to 鼓掌，说明观众是被取悦了，可以看出只有d和e候选。其次又因为这掌声无意义，所以要选个贬义方面
27 Although scientists have long___the human appendix as ___organ, there is a growing body of evidence indicating that the appendix does in fact have a significant function as a part of the body immune system.
A.overestimated... a minor
B.discounted...a vestigial
C.valued...a major
D.ignored...a pivotal
E.studied...an inaccessible
选B,DISCOUNT在这里的意思是UNDERESTIMATE的意思,原文的意思就是:尽管科学家长期"低估"盲肠(的作用)(认为它)是(人类)"退化"的器官,但是越来越多事实证明,它作为人体免役系统的一部分,起到了很重要的作用.
这里的句型是ALTHOUGH...AS,后面应该是BUT引出的和前面相反的意思,既"尽管"科学家把它"当成"什么,但其实它并不是什么的意思,这说明前一句的事实应该是不正确或和后面相反的,那也就是说应该是一个消极的词语来说明盲肠应该是个没有用(VESTIGAL)的器官,从而后面再说它其实很有用(SIGNIFICANT).如果选D,前一个空用IGNORE说的过去,但后面如果用PIVOTAL,前一部分的意思成了"尽管科学家长期把盲肠忽略成一个'关键'器官,也就是说它不应该是重要的器官了,这和后面说的它是重要的器官就违背了,所以应该选择B.
28 Even if the public ate up every ___detail about their leaders, the same public grew offended that the news media would actually pander to their base(basic?) impulses.
A.mesmeric
B.lofty
C.supine
D.resonant;
E.lubricious
选E,句子的意思就是:即使大众对他们领导人的一些"龌龊"的细节能够全盘接受(EAT UP),同样的人们还是会感到愤怒,因为这些(关于领导人的)新闻媒体只是用来迎合大众基本的冲动(兴趣).
29.A rhetorician who spends so much of his time studying the famous ___of logic is more than likely to produce a few self-evident statements of his own.
A.self-knots
B.paradoxes
C.twists
D.tautologies
E.platitudes
选择D,句子的意思就是:雄辩家与其花费大量的时间研究逻辑上的一些著名的"赘言",还不如去提出自己的一些"不证自明的论断"
前后是相反的关系:"赘言"和"不证自明的论断".
30.The view that the yield of rice remains steady is by no means___, owing to the fact that yearly tempest overflowing Asia influence it in ___manner.
A.uncertain....a capricious
B.uncontested...a predictable
C.unrealistic...a catastrophic
D.convincing...a redundant
E.infallible...an erratic,
选E,句子的意思就是:关于大米产量保持稳定的论断决不是"万无一失"的,因为常年充盈在亚洲的骚动使得其(大米产量)反复无常.选A,后面的词语可以,但前面如果用UNCERTAIN的话,前一句的意思就成了:关于大米产量保持稳定的论断决不是"不确定"的,也就是说大米一定保持产量了,这和后面说的那些消极因素矛盾了.所以还是选E比较合适.

1 far from being-----,Pat was always-----to appear acquiescent.
a,unctuous--loath     e,gregarious---willing
我怎么觉得应该是e呢?
意思是：他不但不愿虚情假意，连表现的顺从都不愿意。这是递进关系。
2 Laws do not ensure social order since laws can always be---,whichmakes them-----unless the authorities have the will and the power todetect and punishi wrongdoing.
c,repealed--vulnerable       d,violated--ineffective
我觉得c很好啊,可答案是d
前面说法律不能保障社会秩序，能推出的结论是法律未能尽到自己的职责，也就是ineffective.
3 the--------with which the Frencharistocracy greeted the middle-class Russeau was al themore------because he showed so little respect for them
答案选 deference  remarkable
这个怎么解释啊？既然法国君主不尊重middle-class Russeau，为什么deference 还remarkable啊？
空格后的分割修饰空格，可知是deference, 在看more的前后比较的对象是什么，相同的词是尊敬，不同的是法国贵族很尊敬卢梭greeted，相比卢梭对他们so little 的尊敬， 当然是前者的尊敬要显得remarkable
4 Though dealers insist that professional art dealers can make money inthe art market, even an____ knowledge is not engouh: the art world isso fickle that stockmarket prices are ________ by comparison.
A. amateur's...sensible
B. expert's...erratic5
C. investor's...booming
D. insider's...predicatable
E. artist's...irrational!
答案为D。
请讲解。
另我觉得B比E正确。
由递进关系知第一个空应填professional的递进词义，可选B或D;而冒号后的比较结构中强调艺术品市场变化多端，因而股价相比之下就缺乏变化，故选D.
5 the painting was larger than it appeared to be, for , hanging in a darkened recess of the chapel, it was_by the perspective."
AImproved B aggrandized, C embellished D jeopardized E diminished.
我想选B, 根据上半句的LARGER, 而FOR表示原因,所同意重复,为什么选E呀,谢谢
上半句说画比看上去的要大，也就是看上去的要比画本身要小，下句当然选择被透视法缩小了。
6 Nearlytwo-thirds of the country's mush-room croop is produced by 160 growersin a single county, the greatest_growers anywhere.
A,cause of B,agressment among Cindication of D interaction between E　concentration of
我知道应该选择Ｅ，我第一次选的是Ｄ，　因为是１６０ＧＲＯＷＥＲＳ，　所以应该是Ｄ的意思，　在１６０人间的互动呀，不知道思路对不对，　有点怪吧，谢谢
这句话说的是：几乎全国蘑菇产量的三分之二是由一个小县城的160个生产者种植出来的，比起其他的地方，它是最大的什么生产者。
当然是最大的集中地了。我是这样理解的。
