1. Though she began her__________ by singing in a local pop group, she is now a famous Hollywood movie star. A) employment B) career C) occupation D) profession

本题的迷惑性较大:四个选项都和 “工作”有一定联系。 Employment 强调“就业”； Occupation 意为“职业”，用以成为某个正常的生活来源 的一项活动；行业”； Profession 也表示“职业”，但指的是“需要大量训练和专 门学习的行业”，如 the professions of law, medicine, and engineering Career 表示“生涯，经历，某人工作经历或事业上取得成 就的总的过程或进程”，如: an officer with a distinguished career 有着卓越成就的军官

Key 1: B 2. Within two weeks of arrival, all foreigners had to__________ with the local police. A) inquire B) consult C) register D) resolve

Key 2 : c Register的意思是“登记，注册，正式或官方的注册，尤指是为了投票或上课”。 本句话指在警方登记注册。

Verbal phase: 3. Considering your salary, you should be able to__________ at least twenty dollars a week. A) put forward B) put up C) put out D) put aside

Learn by heart Put forward “提出（意见、建议）” 还表示“推荐；提名；推举”； Put up 意思较多，需要结合搭配记忆。 如: to put up a tent 架起帐篷；还有“接待；为…提供食宿；供膳宿”的意思； Put out 表示“熄灭；关熄；扑灭；忧虑；激怒；困扰；麻烦（某人）；生产；出产；出版； put aside“节省（钱、时间）；储蓄；储存…备用”，

Key 3: D 4. These teachers try to be objective when they__________ the integrated ability of their students. A) justify B) evaluate C) indicate D) reckon

Explanation: Evaluate的意思是“评估，评价”。 Reckon的意思是“计算数或计算”， 如reckon the cost.计算花费； 还表示“认为，把……看作；视为”。

Key 4: B 5. Mrs. Morris's daughter is pretty and__________, and many girls envy her. A) slender B) light C) faint D) minor

要结合上下文来做这道题。 首先把B) light “轻的”和D) minor“较小的”排除。 剩下的两个选项都可以修饰人. 但faint表示“虚弱的，衰弱的，缺乏力气或活力的”. 这样的人是不可能成为很多女孩子嫉妒的对象的。

Key 5: A 6. Tomorrow the mayor is to__________ a group of Canadian businessmen on a tour of the city. A) coordinate B) cooperate C) accompany D) associate

Key 6: c Accompany表示“陪同，伴随”。而其它几个选项容易排除:意思差距较大。 Coordinate表示“使同等；一起协调地工作”； cooperate“与人合作”； associate与with搭配，表示“与人联系”。  

近义词 7. I'm__________ enough to know it is going to be a very difficult situation to compete against three strong teams. A) realistic B) conscious C) aware D) radical

Explanation: (根据上下文)与三强队竞争是非常困难的，而说话者了解这一点，说明他很“现实”。 Conscious表示“有意识的；神志清醒的；能理解的”， 可以用在be conscious of sth.中； aware表示“意识到的，认识到的”， 如aware of their limitations. 认识到他们的局限性； radical表示“极端的”。

Key 7: A 8. Can you give me even the__________ clue as to where her son might be? A) simplest B) slightest C) least D) utmost

Explanation: 本题需要首先排除 D) utmost. 因为它的意思和句子正好反了，它表示“最多的” Slight强调“微小的，尺寸、程度或数量小的”，可以和clue搭配。 其它两个词的搭配有误。

Key 8: B 9. Norman Davis will be remembered by many with __________ not only as a great scholar but also as a most delightful and faithful friend. A) kindness B) friendliness C) warmth D) affection

Explanation: 本句意为:很多人会满怀深情地记住Norman Davis，把他不仅当作一位伟大的学者，而且当作一个令人愉快的忠实朋友。 本题问人们会怎么样记得这位先生，所以 A) kindness “仁慈” 和B) friendliness“友好”的意思就不对了。 再比较C) warmth “温暖”和D) affection“爱，深情”，自然后者的意思更加 贴切一些。

Key 9: D 10. Salaries for__________ positions seem to be higher than for permanent ones. A) legal B) optional C) voluntary D) temporary

Antonym: 本题考的是反义词的用法。我们 可以找到前后对应的两个形容词. 说 话者是比较这两组人的薪水. permanent的反义词是temporary

Key 10: D 11. Most people agree that the present role of women has already affected U.S. society. __________, it has affected the traditional role of men. A) Above all B) In all C) At most D) At last

Phases: 本题考察考生对于词组的掌握。 In all表示“总计; 总的说来”； At most的意思是“至多”； At last 表示“最后”； 而只有Above all (首先，最重要的 是) 符合题义。

Key 11: A 12. Science and technology have__________ in important ways to the improvement of agricultural production. A) attached B) assisted C) contributed D) witnessed

固定词组的用法 A) attached 用于 “be attached to”中，表示“附属于”； B) assist表示“帮助……，对……有作用”，但不和 to sth.搭配。 D) witness表示“目击，目睹”，注意在考试中容易出现 它的一种较特殊用法，即用时间作主语，如The year 1949 witnessed the founding of the People’s Republic of China. (直译为“1949年目睹了中华人民 共和国的成立”，实际上意思很简单，就是“中华人 民共和国成立于1949年”。) C) contribute to 意思和用法都正确。

Key 12: C 13. The little girl was so frightened that she just wouldn't__________ her grip on my arm. A) loosen B) remove C) relieve D) dismiss

选项容易混淆： A) loosen 和 C) relieve。 relieve的意思是“ 减轻或缓和……；免于痛苦，脱离痛苦，焦虑或者苦恼；救济,，为…提供帮助或援助”，不能和grip搭配. 而loosen one’s grip表示“放开手”。

Key 13: A 14. He never arrives on time and my__________ is that he feels the meetings are useless. A) preference B) conference C) inference D) reference

近形异义 本题的四个选项都有 “ence”的后缀由动词变为名词，所以只要了解它们词根的意思，这四个词的意思就容易找出来了。 Preference表示“喜欢，喜好”； conference的意思是“会议，大会”； reference表示“参考，指出”； 而inference表示“推断，推论”，符合题义。

Key 14: C 15. Mrs. Smith was so__________ about everything that no servants could please her. A) specific B) special C) precise D) particular

Individual words: 15. Last night he saw two dark__________ enter the building, and then there was the explosion. A) features B) figures C) sketches D) images

Explanation: Feature 表示“特征，特点” sketch的意思是“素描，梗概，草图” image表示“形象” 而 figure表示“外形，轮廓，体型”， 符合上下文。

16. It is obvious that this new rule is applicable to everyone without __________. A) exception B) exclusion C) modification D) substitution

Set phases: Without exception为固定搭配， 表示“毫无例外，无一例外”。 Exclusion表示 “排除，排外” modification的意思是 “更改，修正” substitution表示 “替代”

Key 16: A 17. His temper and personality show that he can become a soldier of the top__________. A) circle B) rank C) category D) grade

Make distinction: 在军队中军人的级别应该用rank. 另外三个词中只有 D) grade 有一定的 迷惑性. 但它表示“等级，级别：(以尺寸，质量或密度衡量所处的位置)

Key 17: B 18. During the lecture, the speaker occasionally__________ his point by relating his own experiences. A) illustrated B) hinted C) cited D) displayed

搭配问题 本题考察动词和名词的搭配问题，能够和point搭配的只有A) illustrated，“阐述，解释”。 Hint表示“暗示”； cite的意思是“引用某人的话等”； display表示“陈列，展览，展示”，意思不符。

Key 18: A 19. Only those who can__________ to lose their money should make high- risk investments. A) maintain B) sustain C) endure D) afford

只有那些输得起钱的人才能进行 高风险的投资。(译文) 根据上下文，本题需要一个表示“能够承担什么代价或损失”的意思的词，而afford to表示“买的起，能够供应”，正好符合句子意思。 其它几个词一般不和to do sth.搭配。

Key 19: D 20. He found the__________ media attention intolerable and decided to go abroad. A) sufficient B) constant C) steady D) plenty

他感到持续的媒体关注让他无法忍受， 所以决定出国。 本题的两个易混淆项是 A) sufficient 和 B) constant。 但前者表示 “足够的，充足的”，不符合句子后面 “让他无法忍受”. 所以constant “持续的” 可以用在句子中。

Key 20: B 21. There has been a collision__________ a number of cars on the main road to town. A) composing B) consisting C) involving D) engaging

Involve 是出题者所青睐的 一个词， 此词对中国学生来说不易理解，且易和consist of, contain等词混淆。 如: He was told that the job would involve travel. 他被告知那份工作将需要出差。 A) compose通常用在be composed of中， 表示“由……构成”； B) consist 和 of 搭配表示“包括”， 和 in 搭配表示“在于，基于”。

Key 21: C 22 . __________ elephants are different from wild elephants in many aspects, including their tempers. A) Cultivated B) Regulated C) Civil D) Tame

A) cultivated表示“耕作的，有教养的”， 可以用来修饰植物或人，但不能放在 大象的前面； C) civil只能用在人和人类社会，表示“公 民的，市民的，民事的，有礼貌的”; D) tame作形容词用，表示“驯服的”，用 在动物前面正合适。

Key 22: D 23. Ten days ago the young man informed his boss of his intention to __________. A) resign B) reject C) retreat D) replace

Key 23: A 24. As one of the world's highest paid models, she had her face __________ for five million dollars. A) deposited B) assured C) measured D) insured

Review: Insure，assure和ensure这三个词放在一起很容易让考生迷惑。 Insure表示“给什么上保险”， assure sb. of sth., assure sb. that是常用搭配，表示“保证，确保”； ensure sth., ensure…that意思和 assure一样，但用法不同。
