A for
B on
C by
D in

xxx自由
答案:B
on one''s own是一惯用短语，意为alone(独自，单独)。其前的engaging quest：诱人的调查/探索。for可用于for onelf(独自地)；by可用于by onelf/itlf (单独地)；in可用于in its
elf(本身，实质上)。
2.
A account
B function
C validity
D reference
分值: 0.05
答案:A
turn/put sth．to(good)account是惯用短语，意为u sth．profitably(善加利用……)，故只有account(benefit；profit利益)可以入选。
3.
A which
B what
营生
C that
D who
分值: 0.05
答案:B
空白后的句中，动词u缺宾语，即所需的连词是u的宾语，因此that和 who可立即排除；which作连词含有选择意义，这里不适用。只有what符合要求。句中written records意为“书面/文字记载的东西”。
4.
A asss
B assign
C justify
D testify
分值: 0.05
答案:A
4个选项既有词形干扰，又有词义干扰：asss：apprai(评定，评价)，assign (指定)，justify(证明……正当)，testify(证明)。根据句意，只有ass，可用。注意，此句的否定词虽在谓语动词之前，实际否定的却是其后的状语部分：历史学家不用法庭的方式评价证据。
5.
A prominent
B predominant
C prevalent
D proficient
分值: 0.05
答案:B
此题处于where引导的定语从句中，此从句修饰其前的courts of law，where =in courts of law。申此可知，在法庭上证据的可接受性(admissibility)和真实还是虚假，是最主要认定的问题。据此，只能选用predominant：most important(最重/主要的)。prominent：standing out；easily en(突出的；显著的)；prevalent(流行的)； proficient(熟练的)，皆不可取。
一切随风歌词6.
A smart
B brisk
C subtle
D accurate
分值: 0.05
答案:C
此句仍是将历史学家与法庭在使用证据方面进行比较。4个选项中，subtle：quick and clever at eing or making delicate differences(敏锐的，微/巧妙的)最恰当。 smart(clever聪明的)，brisk(轻快的)，accurate(准确的)，皆不合句意逻辑。

A of
B in
C at
D on
分值: 0.05
答案:B
in mind(在心中)是常用搭配，在此修饰其前的what end：“想要达到什么目的”。of可用于be of one mind(同心协力)，be of the same mind(意见相同)；on可用于on sb．''s mind(压在某人心头)。
8.
A fascinating
B facilitating
C fronting
D facing
分值: 0.05
答案:D
动词face指事物时，意为prent itlf to(sb．)(呈现在……面前)，例如： the problem that faces us(摆在我们面前的问题)。句中criticism of historical sources意为“对史料的考证”。
front与face同义之解是“面向，朝”，作confront，oppo(面对)是旧的用法。 fascinate(迷
住)和facilitate(使便利)距句意甚远。
9.
A forged
B initiated
C collected
D conducted
分值: 0.05
答案:C
所给4词意思各不相同。forged：锻造；伪造；initiated：开始，发起；collected：收集；conducted：处理。根据句意应选C。collected a particular census：收集特定人口统计数
据。“进行人口调查/统计”应说take a census。
