参考答案及解析:
1.The correct answer is E
Explanation
The information after the first comma actually explains the missing word. The fact that such a variety of products can be made from one plant indicates that the soybean is very “versatile”: it has many uses.
2.The correct answer is B
Explanation
The word "Although" indicates that there is a contrast in the sentence. It makes sense to say that even though some people think loon vocalizations are "mellifluous," or have a smooth and rich sound, other people think the sounds are "harsh and discordant," or harsh and jarring.
3.The correct answer is A
Explanation
Choice (A) is correct. It is logical to connect the “decimation,” or harm done to, a park’s trees to the “prevalence,” or dominance, of a harmful species of termites.
4.The correct answer is C
Explanation
The sentence indicates that the man’s coworkers "failed to acknowledge," or took no notice of, his ideas or opinions concerning "the new business plan." It is very likely that someone will feel like "a nonentity," or a person of little consequence or significance, when his or her ideas and opinions are not acknowledged.
