1．语意辨析题本题目选择动词过去分词形式，构成be …to 的结构，在句子中充当谓语。句子叙述到But Gregory Cochran, (a noted scientific iconoclast), is…to say it anyway. “但是Gregory Cochran…无论如何也要说出来。”
选项A. lected 选择；
B. prepared 准备；
C. obliged 被迫；
D. plead 高兴。
不难发现，选项A. lected 选择，“但是Gregory Cochran选择无论如何也要说出来”，符合句子含义；选项B. prepared 准备，“但是Gregory Cochran准备无论如何也要说出来”，符合句子含义；选项C. obliged 被迫，“但是Gregory Cochran被迫无论如何也要说出来”，符合句子含义；选项D. plead 高兴，“但是Gregory Cochran高兴无论如何也要说出来”，符合句子含义。在句子中四个选项似乎都合理，确定该题目为语意辨析题。前边相邻句子叙述到The idea that some people may be more intelligent than others is one of tho hypothes that dare not speak its name. “一些人比另一些人聪明，这一观点一直是人们不敢明确提出来的假设。”因此，确定本句子表示准备说出来。因此，正确答案为B。
2. 词汇辨析题本题目选择形容词，在句子中充当定语。句子叙述到He is that___ bird, a scientist who works independently____ any institution. “他是…的科学家，他的观点与其他科学家…。”
选项A. unique 独一无二的；
B. particular 特殊的，特别的；
C. special 特殊的；
D. rare 珍惜的。
不难发现，修饰“bird 鸟类”答案为rear，rear birds珍惜鸟类，引申为少之又少的人。
感恩 演讲稿3. 选择A 词汇辨析题本题目选择介词，构成work…短语，在句子中充当谓语，句子叙述到He is that rare bird, a scientist who works independently____ any institution. “他就是极少数的科学家，在所有科学家团体…他的观点是与众不同的。”
选项A. of 在…范围之内；
B. with 与…一起；
C. in 在…之中；
D. against 与…相对。
不难发现，前面单句表明他是少之又少的人，该句是表明不与他人为伍。同时，any institution任何流
派也包含着作者。因此，正确答案为A，他就是极少数的科学家，在所有科学家团体中他的观点是独立的、与众不同的。
He helped popularize the idea that some dias not 4 thought to have a bacterial cau were actually infections, which aroud much controversy when it was first suggested.
4.[A]subquently [B]prently [C]previously [D]lately
4. 词汇辨析题本题目选择副词，在句子中充当状语。句子叙述到He helped popularize the idea that some dias not____thought to have a bacterial cau were actually infections, which ruffled many scientific feathers when it was first suggested. “他普及了一种观点，即某些…没有被认为是由细菌引起的疾病实际上是感染，这一观点一经提出就引起了极大争议。”
选项A. subquently 随后的；
B. prently 当前的；
C. previously 先前的；
D. lately 后来。
不难发现，为了于本句子中的“actually，实际上”相互呼应，要体现时间上的先后交替关系。选项A. subquently 随后的，“即某些随后没有被认为是由细菌引起的疾病实际上是感染”，时间逻辑混乱，不符合句子含义；选项B. prently 当前的，“即某些当前没有被认为是由细菌引起的疾病实际上是感染”，时间逻辑混乱，不符合句子含义；选项C. previously 先前的，“即某些以前没有被认为是由细菌引起的疾病实际上是感染”，时间逻辑合理，符合句子含义；选项 D. lately 后来，“即某些后来没有被认为是由细菌引起的疾病实际上是感染”，时间逻辑混乱，不符合句子含义。因此，正确答案为C。

5.[A]Only [B]So [C]Even [D]Hence
6.[A]thought [B]sight [C]cost [D]risk

选项A. Only 仅仅（表示强调）；
英文在线翻译
B. So 因此（表示结果）；
C. Even 甚至，即使（表示让步，包含转折意义）；
ahoyD. Hence 因而（表示结果）。
不难发现，句子中however表示与前面的语句表示转折关系。因此，正确答案为C。
6. 固定搭配题本题目选择名词，构成at the…of 的搭配，在句子中充当谓语。句子叙述到Even he, however, might tremble at the____of what he is about to do. “但是，即使是他自己在…要做的事情时都可能在发抖。”
选项A. at the thought of 想到；
B. at the sight of 看到；
C. at the cost of 以…为代价；
D. at the risk of 冒险…。
不难发现，选项A. at the thought of 想到，“即使是他自己在想到要做的事情时都可能在发抖”，符合句
子含义；选项B. at the sight of 看到，“即使是他自己在看到要做的事情时都可能在发抖”，句子本身表达有误，“看到了”自己“要做的事情”是自相矛盾的表达，既然看到就应该是正在做，不符合句子含义；选项C. at the cost of 以…为代价，“即使是他自己在以要做的事情为代价时都可能在发抖”，句子本身表达不合理；选项D. at the risk of 冒险，“即使是他自己在冒险要做的事情时都可能在发抖”，句子本身表达有误，既然是“冒险”就应该是正在做而不是“要做”。因此，正确答案为A。

选项A. advis 建议；
B. suggests 暗示，建议；
C. protests 抗议；
D. objects 反对。
不难发现，句子的主语为“a paper”论文，宾语为“that one group of humanity is more intelligent than the others, but explains the process that has brought this about”一群人比另一群人聪明，并且指出了导致该现象的原因，二者之间用“暗示，表明”。选项A. advis 建议，“论文中不仅建议某些人比其他人更聪明”，“建议”是具有独立意识行为能力的人才能够发出的动作，在此不符合句子含义；选项B. suggests 暗示，建议，“论文中不仅暗示某些人比其他人更聪明”，符合句子含义；选项C. protests 抗议，“论文中不仅抗议某些人比其他人更聪明”，“抗议”是具有独立意识行为能力人才能够发出的动作，在此不符合句子含义；选项D. objects 反对，“论文中不仅反对某些人比其他人更聪明”，“反对”是具有独立意识行为能力人才能够发出的动作，在此不符合句子含义。因此，正确答案为B。

选项A. in progress 在…的进程中；
B. in fact 事实上；
C. in need 需要的；
D. in question 涉及的，谈到的。
不难发现，前文提到的一群人比另一群人更聪明，这个固定人群已经确定。选项A. in progress 在…的进程中，“进程中的这些人是起源于中欧的一个独特民族”，句子表达含混不清，不符合句子含义；选项B. in fact 事实上，“事实上的这些人是起源于中欧的一个独特民族”，句子表达含混不清，不符合句子含义；选项C. in need 需要的，“需要的这些人是起源于中欧的一个独特民族”，句子表达含混不清，不符合句子含义；选项D. in question 涉及的，谈到的，“谈到的这些人是起源于中欧的一个独特民族”，句子表达准确无误，符合句子含义。因此，正确答案为D。
