1、SECTION 21.Even by the companys own standards of _，Its early years were extremely _: it manufactured as many as three million appliances a month during that three-year period.A. success disappointing B. profitability characteristicC. efficiency productiveD. perfection inauspiciousE. ethics conscient
2、ious1、即使依据公司自己的效率标准，它早期的年份也是非常多产的：在那最初的 3 年时期它每月的器具产量达到 3 百万之多。解析：第一空没法入手，由主干大法得知必须先考虑第二空，冒号表示解释型同义重复。由冒号后面完整的信息推出第一空一定是正评价，同义重复后面完整的 it manufactured as many as three million appliances a month during that three-year period.第二空选项中是正评价且能表达这个意思的只有 C。2. In the nineteenth century, composers exhibiting _
3、 skill found themselves _ as writers by periodicals that afforded them an opportunity to earn money and to make their views about music known.A. artistic censuredB. limited lionizedC. remarkableunknowD. literary in demandE. financial out of favor2、在 19 世纪，一些才华有限的作曲家由于成为期刊杂志的作者而被人崇拜，这些杂志期刊不仅给他们提供了挣钱的
4、机会，也使他们的音乐观点出名。解析：根据主干大法，exhibiting _ skill 是修饰主语 composers 的，所以先不看。先做第2 空，第 2 空显然应该由 by 后面的所有成分来决定。afforded them an opportunity to earn money and to make their views about music known.是正评价的表述，所以第 2 空一定填正评价词，B 的第 2 空一看就知道是绝对的正评价词，就算 D 有点干扰，仔细比较一下第一空也能马上排除 D。3.Writers typically do not _ the great vis
5、ual artists of their own generation: for Courbet, considered by many to be the greatest painter of Baudelaires time, the poet offered _ praise.A. slight meagerB. admire unstintingC. evaluate extravagantD. deprecate insincereE. recognize scant3、文人们通常都不认可他们自己同时代的伟大的形象艺术家：比如对于 Courbet 这个被许多人认为是 Baudela
6、ire 时代最伟大的画家，诗人就给予非常少的推崇。解析：此题第一空填动词，正还是负评价读到冒号暂时没线索，冒号后出现了 be the greatest painter of Baudelaires time，马上想到就是前面出现的 the great visual artists 的同义重复，再看后面 the poet 应该是前面 Writers 的同义重复，主语宾语都重复出现了，而冒号表示同义重复，这就好办了！构成逻辑分析的是冒号前有否定词 not，所以得出两空一定相反。构成相反感觉的有 CE，仔细推敲无论语义还是逻辑都是 E 最合适（Evaluate 是中性词，与 extravagant
7、构成不明显的反义，而 recognize 有认可赞同的意思，与 scant praise 构成绝佳的反义词） 。.4. A common misconception is that linguists are concerned only with the origin and development of languages, but these topics, though they constitute an important part of linguistics, do not _ the subject.A. frameB. transcendC. conveyD. exhaus
8、tE. illuminate4、 “语言学家只关注语言的起源和演化，而这些主题尽管构成了语言学的重要组成部分，却没有构建（整个）这门学科。 ”这是一个普遍的误解。解析：此题主干看转折有点困难，不过 ETS 仁慈地加了一个 though they constitute an important part of linguistics，将它取非即可。显然 an important part of linguistics 与空格后的the subject 构成了上下义词的同义表达。本来应该取非的由于空格前出现了 not 而改为取constitute 的同义词，没有比 frame 更同义的啦。 （如果
9、不用逻辑做，肯定会有人选 BDE）5. Far from being a _ portrait of the writer, the biographers life of Christina Stead is _ many undigested and discursive excerpts from Steads fiction and private papers. A. multifaceted enriched byB. valuable enhanced byC. succinct .padded withD. disputatious discredited byE. compe
10、ndious studded with5、远不是该作者紧凑简洁的描写风格，这个传记作家的life of Christina Stead一书充斥着许多来自于 Stead 的小说和私人文档中未经整理的散漫的章节。解析：Far from 表示取非。关键是找到哪里和哪里取非。第一空填形容词，这个形容词应该和 undigested and discursive 有关，如果填 undigested and discursive 的同义词，则第 2 空填负评价完成 Far from 的逻辑取非；如果填 undigested and discursive 的反义词，则第 2 空填正评价完成 Far from
11、的逻辑取非。本题只有 CE 第一空选项是 undigested and discursive的反义词。从 2 个方面看 C 是答案。 （1）succinct 有紧凑的含义，直接对应 not discursive， （2） be padded with 是填充的意思，be studded with 是点缀的意思，一般 be studded with 后面跟珠宝等美好的事物，而此处显然是 undigested and discursive excerpts 不好的事物。6. Traditional Navajo concepts of government are _; decisions are
12、 arrived at through consensus rather than _ by a single authority.A. aristocratic prescribedB. egalitarian dictatedC. democratic censuredD. patriarchal legislatedE. hierarchical enacted6、关于统治的传统 Navajo 概念是平等主义的；通过意见一致达成决议而不是由一个独裁来宣布。解析：分号后面作者强调的是 rather than 前面的 decisions are arrived at through cons
13、ensus，它代表了分号后面的作者态度，所以第一空填进去以后要使分号前面与它同义，先选出BC，再由第 2 空语意轻松排除 C 啦。7. The architecture critic perceived as ironic the fact that one of the first buildings to deviate from the Modernist architecture on the campus was designed by an architectural firm renowned for its _ of that aesthetic.A. scornB. anti
14、cipationC. masteryD. avoidanceE. renunciation7、这个建筑学评论家发现了一个搞笑的（讽刺的）事实：在这个校园里与现代主义派建筑不同的第一批建筑中，居然有一个建筑是被一个精通现代美学的建筑公司所设计的。解析：既然事实是 ironic，后面必然有取非的地方。one of the first buildings was designed by an architectural firm 表示主干中没有取非的地方，而修饰 buildings 的是 to deviate from the Modernist architecture，出现了负评价词 devia
15、te，根据主干大法第 2 条（怎么样的 A 推出怎么样的 B） ，则修饰 an architectural firm 的地方就必然要表现出 Modernist architecture，这样才可以和前面一起完成 ironic 要求的取非逻辑。而最后的 that aesthetic（呵呵，又看见了该死的重点代词了）明确告诉了就是 Modernist architecture，所以空格中一定要填正评价词！Section 41. Of all the professors various mentors, Carabelli was clearly the most _, since it was
16、he who fundamentally shaped the professors now highly regarded research approach.A. circumspectB. influentialC. exactingD. idealisticE. unethical1、在这个教授的所有导师中，Carabelli 显然是最有影响力的，因为正是他从根本上打造了该教授现在为人高度尊敬的科研风范。解析：此题空格完全由 since 后面决定，将后面意思整个代回空格即可。能够表达这个含义的只有 B。而 C 是一个很强的干扰选项，注意：哪怕导师再苛求（ exacting）也无法保证f
17、undamentally shaped，因为你可以苛求我，但是我未必接受你啊。只有说最有影响力的才可以达到 fundamentally shaped，因为有影响表示导师影响了这个教授，才可以说打造。2. Some believe that the tradition of holding elections on Tuesday was established to restrict voting to truly serious voters, but in fact _ was the original idea behind Tuesday voting, since Tuesday i
18、n rural communities was when people were most likely to be in town.A. elitismB. convenienceC. apathyD. favoritismE. partisanship2、有些人认为对于真正严肃的投票人来说在周二进行选举的传统限制了投票，但事实上支持周二投票的最初考虑是方便，这是由于在周二乡村社区里的人最可能进城。解析：空格由 since 后面决定，后面的意思是乡村里的人们在周二涌入城里，这除了看出方便投票以外看不出有 elitism、apathy、favoritism、partisanship 的意味。3
19、. Although the metropolitan area boasts more small businesses than any other region in the state, it ranks very low on the scale of pro-business attitudes: local entrepreneurs have a remarkable ability to _ an _ atmosphere here.A. confront energeticB. excuse invigoratingC. create enervatingD. overlo
20、ok enthusiasticE. tolerate inhospitable3、尽管这个大都市区域以拥有比该国别的区域更多的小商行而自豪，但是它的商业理念水准却很低：当地的企业家令人瞩目地对这里热烈的商业氛围视而不见。解析：冒号前后同义重复，而前面是转折，作者强调的一定是转折后的东西，所以由 it ranks very low on the scale of pro-business attitudes 看出是负评价，冒号后面要完成负评价只能在空格处一正一负才行，满足这个条件的是 CD。但是 D 的 overlook 正好重复了前面说的 attitudes 比较 low，所以非常合适。4.
21、Although the politician was basically conservative in her views, she was not _: her positions on certain issues could even be called _.A. radical extremistB. dogmatic hideboundC. reactionary progressiveD. moderate cautious E. overzealous inflexible4、尽管这个政客的观点相当地保守，但是她并不反动：她对于某些问题的立场甚至可以称作是进步的。解析：此题太
22、简单了。Although 是转折，第一空前有 not 则由取非变成了取同，BC 合适。冒号后面显然要表达 not +第一空。则 C 非常合适。5. Cultural change is seldom truly _: successive periods overlap, progress is _, and within a prevailing climate of opinion there can be innumerable variationsA. straight forward raggedB. benign unevenC. complex volatileD. visibl
23、e manifestE. significant dramatic5、文化的转变很少是真正直线性的：连续的时期们交迭在一起，进步是参差不齐的，并且在一个观点盛行的氛围里也会有数不清的变化。解析：先做第 2 空，由并列关系可知应该表达出 overlap 和 be innumerable variations 这样的意思，ABCE 候选。再看第一空，句子里没有涉及到 complex 和 significant 的信息，所以排除。AB 哪个更好？我们注意到第一空前有一个否定词 seldom，很少直线不就是参差不齐么？非常工整，而 B 代进去就表示很少温和的意思，可是后面也没有信息表示猛烈，所以答案选
24、 A。6. The science of astronomy was begun by amateurs and today remains dependent on their contributions, which are incisive by virtue of being _ by the a prior assumption that often vitiate the work of professional research scientists A. characterizedB. unencumberedC. supportedD. contradictedE. insp
25、ired6、天文学始于天文爱好者并且至今仍然要依赖他们的贡献，这一切由于和以前的一个假设形成对比显而易见，这个假设认为爱好者经常破坏天文学家的工作。解析：前面对爱好者是正评价，空格让填一个与假设之间的关系词，由于假设的修饰成分是负评价的，所以空格处一定要填一个负评价词进行修正。D 是唯一的负评价词。7. In many cities mass-transit delays occur so frequently that patrons have finally become _them and have simply adjusted their schedules accordingly.
26、A. committed toB. cognizant of C. enraged byD. desirous of E. inured to7、在一些城市大量运输的迟滞现象发生的是如此频繁以致于主顾们最终已经变得习惯了并且因而完全调整了自己的时间表。解析：and 表示并列且同义重复，调整自己的时间表是为了对 them 做一个什么动作？只能去适应去习惯啦。以上答案是我个人所做，非 ETS 标准答案。欢迎共同探讨！通过上述题目的分析，希望大家做填空千万牢记从逻辑入手，不要拘泥于英语意思和文法，一切只是以英语为载体的学术能力检测而已。另外，希望英语专业的同学帮我一起将翻译做得更好一些，最好既有助于解题，又显得很优美。 来信请寄 orient_ 谢谢！（我从 4 月到新东方集团做行政工作以来，由于工作实在太忙出差巨多而导致大量同学邮件没回向大家道歉）希望大家考好！黄颀
