　参考答案及解析：

1.The correct answer is D

Explanation

One of the meanings of “keen” is “acutely sensitive.” Therefore, if our sense of smell is keen or acutely sensitive, it is capable of “distinguishing thousands of chemical odors.”

2.The correct answer is D

Explanation

A “striking,” or showy, weed could indeed be said to “eclipse,” or overshadow, other plants that have more typical appearances.

3.The correct answer is C

Explanation

“Impulsive” means acting suddenly, abruptly, or without premeditation. To approve something is to consent to or confirm it. The sentence suggests that the department head was concerned about how her actions would be viewed. If she were concerned about the possibility of being considered too abrupt or thoughtless in her plans, or about thinking them through insufficiently before acting on them, she certainly might have wanted to have her plans "approved" by others before she implemented them, or carried them out. It makes sense to say that the department head had the advisory committee members confirm or sanction her plans so that she would not be considered impulsive.

4.The correct answer is C

Explanation

The phrase “through the centuries” suggests that the first missing term will describe how the “sophisticated piece of technology” developed over a period of time. The word “such” indicates that the second missing term will contrast with “sophisticated.” Only “evolved . . a quaint” satisfies both requirements.

5.The correct answer is D

Explanation

Burgess believes that preaching or sermonizing is not appropriate in good fiction.

6.The correct answer is D

Explanation

This very principled politician would rather be unpopular than compromise, or accept changes in, her ideals.
