词语学习10:
1.

2. C不要以为uneasy是easy的反义词,那样的话就会选difficult了。其实uneasy是局促不安的,忧虑的,担忧的的意思,如:I felt uneasy about asking her for such a big favour.(求她帮我这么个大忙,我感到有点不安。)The very thought of the series of examinations lying ahead made her fell uneasy.(一想到等着她的一系列考试就让她感到心不在焉。)
3. Ademolish这个动词的意思就是拆毁,毁掉,推翻,故pull down是正确答案。其他几个选项均可和houses搭配,但意义和原句不同。rebuild是重建,renovate修复,整修,whitewash粉刷。
4. Dadverse这个词的意思是不利的,逆的,如:adverse wind(逆风),adverse criticism(非难),adverse situation(不利的形势),adverse balance of trade(贸易逆差)。原句的意思是:广告公司对公众对招贴画的不利反应感到惊奇。在四个选项中adverse和unfavorable同义。另外三个选项都可以用于修饰public reaction, delayed是延误的,quick飞速的,quick飞速的,positive正面的,一定的和adverse恰恰相反。
5. Bconcise的意思是简明的,如:a concise17 dictionary(一部简明词典)。long and detailed的意思正好相反,又长又详尽;comprehensive是全方位的,professional专业的。
6. Ccourteous是有礼貌的,谦恭的,在四个选项中只有respectful和它意义相近。respectable和respectful有什么区别是前者是可尊敬的,后者是恭敬的,尊重其他人的,如:a respectable gentlemen(一位值得尊敬的先生),a respectful bow(充满敬意的一鞠躬)。efficient的意思是有效率的,well-informed有学问的。
7. Dinvaluable这个词从形式上看上去乎是valuable(贵重的,有价值的)的反革命义词,其实不然,它的意思恰恰是没办法估计的,十分宝贵的,故应选extremely useful.其他的搭配还有an invaluable18 treasure(无价之宝),invaluable advice(非常有用的忠告),invaluable heritage(宝贵的遗产)。选项A和invaluable反义,选项B的意思是确实非常实用,选项C的意思是几乎没。
8. C此句的意思是我觉得在这里建一家豪华宾馆的想法真的是荒唐。Insane是sane的反义词,意思是精神错乱的,疯狂的,如:He went insane at last.(他最后发疯了)。故该词和mad, crazy同义。reasonable和sensible的意思都是适当的,有理的,故都和insane相反。
9. Aexhaustive是透彻的,彻底的的意思,如:exhaustive study(透彻的研究),exhaustive investigation(深入的调查),所以extremely thorough是正确答案。Long and boring(长得让人厌倦),superficial(表面的),unconvincing(不可以使人信服的)均不适合。
10. Bingenious:灵巧的,巧妙的,如:ingenious mind(机灵的头脑),ingenious machine(精巧的机器),ingenious tactics(巧妙的战术)等,故大致上和clever同义。effective是有效的,implausible(不合情理的),original(有新意的)。
11. C这句话的意思是他看着招牌广告,心想不知自己是不是有资格去面试。Eligible的意思是有资格做,符合做的条件,如:Anyone above the age of 18 is eligible19 to vote.(十八岁以上的人都可以参加选举。)Not every resident here is eligible for the medical insurance provided by the community.(并不是每个当地的居民都有资格享受社区提供的医保。)
12. Bvigorous:精力充沛的,有活力的,常用于人,如:a vigorous young man, 也可作强有力的,强劲的,用力的解,如:vigorous opponent强劲的对手,vigorous exercises运动量大的训练。hot-tempered是脾气大的,性子烈的意思,patient作形容词则是耐心的意思。
13. A本句的意思是并不是所有些成员国都遵循他们先前达成一致的原则。abide by是个短语,意为服从,遵守,adhere to也是一个固定的短语,和stick to同义。abide by容易见到的搭配还有abide by the rule/the law/decision,如:The players all abided by the referee's decision although it was not really fair.其余的三个选项apply(应用),abandon(抛弃),adopt(采纳)均可以和principle搭配,但词义和abide by不合。
14. Cbias这个名词的意思是偏袒,偏见,without bias则是公平地,公正地的意思。fairly是形容词fair的副词形式,在这里是公平地的意思。当然,fairly也可以作相当,还解,表示程度,如:Your English is fairly good.(你的英语还很好。)
15. Bterminate这个动词意为结束,可作及物或不及物动词用,如:We have decided20 to terminate our contract with your company.(大家已决定终止与贵企业的合同。)The forest terminates in a forest.(路的尽头是树林。)put an end to是个动词短语,如:Finally they put an end to the long-standing disputes.(最后他们终于结束了长期的争端。)resume(中断后重又开始),suspend(暂时中断),re-schedule(重新拟定时间表)这三个动词都可以和construction搭配,但词义和terminate不相近。
