参考答案及解析:
1.The correct answer is B
Explanation
It makes sense to say that even those who do not “concur with” Robinson’s views would “recognize” him as someone who has refused to compromise his beliefs.
2.The correct answer is D
Explanation
The correct answer is (D). “Inflammatory” means arousing passion or strong emotion. The structure of the sentence indicates that the part of the sentence after the comma will explain or elaborate on the information in the first part of the sentence. Because Henderson’s radical, or revolutionary, ideas aroused enough emotion to make some people angry and to make others openly rebellious, it makes sense to say that Henderson’s ideas were inflammatory.
3.The correct answer is C
Explanation
Choice (C) is correct. Since an author would be unable to refer to events that occurred after he or she had died, scholars would have cause for considering the authenticity of an 1818 manuscript “suspect,” or worthy of suspicion.
4.The correct answer is A
Explanation
It makes sense to claim that the reporter’s verification of a source’s information would conform to her newspaper’s “scrupulous,” or precise, standards for accuracy.
5.Explanation
Only “triteness” logically completes the sentence; a poem echoing routine feelings might well be described as possessing “triteness,” in contrast to the fresh and unexpected ideas that Anne Spencer’s poems go on to express.
6.The correct answer is B
Explanation
Choice (B) is correct. If these terms were inserted into the sentence, the sentence would read, “While a 'rock' is usually defined as an aggregate, or combination, of one or more minerals, geologists often extend the definition to include such materials as clay, loose sand, and certain limestones.” An “aggregate” is the sum total of a combination of things, so a “rock” is an aggregate of one or more minerals. In addition to minerals, geologists feel confident including other materials such as “clay, loose sand, and certain limestones” in their definition of a rock; they “extend,” or broaden, the definition.
7. The correct answer is E
Explanation
The paradox in the sentence is that the successful entrepreneur can be “reclusive” at times and “gregarious” at others. The entrepreneur alternately prefers isolation and its opposite, the company of people.
8.The correct answer is C
Explanation
Hopes for “permanent victories against many diseases” have been “blighted,” or dashed or crushed, by the “proliferation of drug-resistant strains of bacteria and viruses.”
9.The correct answer is A
Explanation
It makes sense to say that someone who is typically “genial,” or friendly, would turn “surly,” or irritable, when provoked.
10. The correct answer is D
Explanation
The world was accustomed to “violence” and expected rioting and bloodshed, but this time the change of government was, on the contrary, “uneventful.”
