  1. The aroma of the freshly baked bread was so ------ that we were tempted to buy three loaves.

  A. enticing

  B. unruly

  C. convenient

  D. fabricated

  E. generic

  解析:

  so/such A that/as to B 的结构中A与B为同义关系或感情态度一致,所以从tempted“(被)吸引,诱惑”,可看出空格为对aroma的正向评价,因此答案为A选项 enticing “吸引人的”。

  词汇扩充:

  吸引,使…着迷:allure, appeal, spellbind, captivate, enchant, bewilder, entrance, enthrall

  2. Muddy Waters ------ a generation of musical ------: they imitated his innovative playing style and eventually solidified his reputation as a blues pioneer.

  A. emulated .. followers

  B. chastised .. contenders

  C. resisted .. paragons

  D. fostered .. critics

  E. inspired .. disciples

  解析:

  首先要了解冒号后的they指代的是第二空的复数名词,his指的是Muddy Waters这个人,所以从 imitated “模仿” 可看出第二空可以在followers“追随者” 和 disciples “信徒” 中选择,再从最后的pioneer“先锋” 可看出第一空是一个起 “促进,鼓励,支持”作用的动词,可在fostered“促进”和inspire“鼓励”中选择。所以最后选择E选项。

  词汇扩充:

  祖先,先锋,先驱:ancestor, antecedent, forerunner, forebear, harbinger, precursor, predecessor, progenitor, vanguard, avant-garde

  3. In these mountains, the ------ stature of plants testifies to the inhibiting influence of ------, often buffeting, winds.

  A. small .. constant

  B. diminutive .. imperceptible

  C. typical .. moderate

  D. considerable .. intermittent

  E. giant .. destructive

  解析:A testifies to B的结构中A为B的结果,所以第一空是 inhibiting influence“抑制性的影响”的结果,所以第一空只有small 和 diminutive“小的”可选,第二空是对winds的修饰且能够导致inhibiting influence, 所以只能选择A选项constant“恒定不变的”,不停地有buffeting“猛烈的”风在吹,使植物长不大。

  4. Some of the guests were positively ------, speaking disrespectfully to their host and generally exhibiting deplorable manners.

  A. bemused

  B. cursory

  C. forlorn

  D. incoherent

  E. uncouth

  解析:

  空格对应disrespectfully“不敬地”和deplorable“应受责备的”,所以应填一个表示行为举止方面的负向评价,因此选E选项uncouth“粗鲁的”。

  词汇扩充:

  粗鲁的,无礼的:boorish, churlish, impudent, insolent, rude

  5. The economist had a reputation as ------; his colleagues liked to tease him that he ------ recessions because he looked for trouble.

  A. a maverick .. expected

  B. an ogre .. disregarded

  C. an alarmist .. foresaw

  D. an indigent .. downplayed

  E. a scholar .. enjoyed

  解析:

  第二空是这题的突破口,空格前的he指的是economist“经济学家”,空格后的recession一般表示“后退,退化”,而根据本题的语言环境表示“(经济)衰退,不景气”,对应because后的trouble,所以第二空对应look for“期待,指望”,只能在expected和foresaw中选择。再根据后半句中的tease“取笑”可以看出同事对他持嘲笑态度,第一空应该填一个值得嘲笑并且自找麻烦的人,所以选择C选项alarmist“危言耸听者”。整句意思为:这个经济学家被认为总是危言耸听;他的同事经常取笑他,说他预测经济会衰退是因为他总盼着出点乱子。

  词汇扩充:

  危言耸听的,骇人听闻的:sensational, lurid

  以上题目内容虽然不多,但是目的不是让同学们以量取胜,而是在每道题目是一定要做精,追求细节才能获得完美成绩!
