参考答案:

1. B. catch a cold (感冒)是固定的搭配。

2. B. vanish是 disappear的近义词,是“消失”,所以disappear 是答案。另外,linger 是“逗留”,renew是“使更新”。

3. D. prior to是“在。。之前”,所以 before是答案。

4. C. last是“最近过去”,而 past 是正合此义。

5. A. astonish和 surprise是近义词,是“使吃惊”。

6. D. 该短语的语义可从句义推出,该句说“当两人在谈话时。。是不礼貌的”。备选答案中,to stand in between(站在中间)和 to sit in between(坐在中间)在语义效果上等值,所以相互排除,而to talk loudly是“大声地说话”,interrupt是“打断”,比较而言,interrupt更合适。而实际上我们也经常说“别打断别人的谈话”。

7. A. 画线词break有多种含义,但因它的宾语是record(记录), 所以其语义是“打破”。而  beat的基本含义是“打,胜过”。

8. A. 画线词settle有多种含义,但因它的宾语是dispute(争夺), 所以其语义是“解决”。而  solve的基本含义是“解决”,所以solve是答案。备选答案中 Untie = un + tie(系),un是否定前缀。

9. A. 画线词account for有多种含义,但因它的宾语是your absence(你的缺席),所以其语义是“解释”。 而  explain的基本含义是“解释”,所以explain是答案。备选答案中,excuse是及物动词(后面必须跟宾语),所以在这里不合适。

10.B. 画线词limited的含义是“有限的”,而四个备选答案均是常见词汇,且前三个语义相近,都有“小的”的含义(low是“低的”)。所以这道题是考辨词。因small修饰可数名词,little修饰不可数名词, 而tiny  的语义是“微小的”,一般指体积。看原题干:limited后是number, 而number是可数名词,所以答案是B。

11.C. 画线词widen含义较单一,是“加宽”,且widen = wide + (e)n (en加在部分形容词后构成“使。。变得更。。”之意)。而备选答案中broaden 也是由此法构成:broaden = broad + en  ,所以可先观察该词,而  broaden的基本含义是“加宽”。

12.B. 画线词convert含义较单一,是“转换”,因它的宾语是money(钱), 所以其语义是“换”。而  change的基本含义是“换”,所以change是答案。

13.C. 画线词foster有多种含义,在foster众多的词义中包含了cultivate的含义,所以答案是cultivate。

14.A. 画线词regret主要语义是“为。。致歉”。 而  sorry的基本含义是“为。。致歉”, 所以sorry是答案。

15.D. 画线词outcome含义单一,是“结果”。 而  result的基本含义是“结果”, 所以result是答案
