词汇学习5：
1．A appalling表示条件之差使人感到吃惊。dreadful有类似的意义。如：My financial situation is dreadful．此句改用appalling也是可以的。bad，unpleasant和poor都可以跟condition搭配。因此可以说：They have been living under bad conditions for two years．They have been living under unpleasant conditions for two years．They have been living under poor conditions for two years．注意：appalling conditions蕴涵bad (或unpleasant或poor) conditions．但反向的蕴涵是不成立的。用句通俗的话说，是appalling conditions必定是bad (或unpleasant或poor)conditions，但是bad(或unpleasant或poor)conditions未必都是appalling conditions。也就是说，appalling跟bad，unpleasant和poor在意义上存在着明显的差别。注意：如果用 bad或poor替换appalling，生成
的都是错误的句子。 2． B anyhow的一种意思是：不管其他句子所说的，本命题为真。可以看出，该词用在该句中非常合适，因为I wasn’t qualified for the job really是“不管其他句子所说的”，I got it这个命题是真的。又如：I am coming anyhow, no matter what others say．其中的no matter what others say是说：不管其他人怎么说。I am coming这个命题是真的。anyway在绝大多数情况中表达的意义跟anyhow都相同，因而二者常可替换。anyhow有一种意思是后面所说的支持前面所说的，在这一种意思上，它等于besides．Mother certainly won’t let him stay with her and anyhow he wouldn’t．此处的anyhow可由besides替换。但练习题中的anyhow不是这个意思。anyhow也可用来结束会话，这也是well的一个功能。如：Anyhow, thanks a lot．Bye bye.但练习题中的anyhow不是用来结束会话的，因而不能由well替换。 3．C attain有通过努力取得了某种东西或达到某种状态的意思。如：He attained the position of minister．They were unable to attain their objectives．achieve的意思是通过努力取得或达到某种目标，意思跟attain很接近，因而可由后者替换。reached也有“达到”的意思，但它本身并不含“需要通过努力”，因而它不可替代achieved．下面举一个reach用法的例子：The proce of political change in South Africa has reached the stage where it is irreversible．reap是“收获，获得”的意思。The painting depicted a group of peasants reaping a harvest of fruits and vegetables．You’ll soon begin to reap the benefits of being fitter．take也有“获得，取得”的意思，但它不能跟succe搭配。 4．D capability：能力，力量。又如：Now we have the capability of defending our country, all thanks to our own efforts．The country has the capability to defeat any aggreor．ability：能力，本领。From each according to his abilities，to each according to his work．ability和capability在意义上有相同的一面，因而在一定语境中可以互换。可以看出，ability和capability在搭配上是有差别的，前者只可跟to搭配，但后者既可跟to又可跟of搭配。二者的形容词分别是able和capable：I ought to be able to live on my salary．She was perfectly capable of taking care of herself．注意：capable只能跟of而不能跟to搭配。不难看出，词的意义不决定句法结构。strength：力量：优点。Their military strength has gone down because their air force has proved to be an effective force．此句中的strength可由capacity替代而不改变句子的意义。poibility：可能性。 5．A in conjunction with：共同。together with具有相同的意思，用together代入后，所生成的也是一个在语法上正确的句子。in succeion：接连发生，不跟with，如：He had mied five dinners in succeion．in alliance with：结盟。They are now in a position to govern the state in alliance with either the Free Democrats or the Green Party．in connection with：在……一起；相关。13 men were questioned in connection with the murder． 6．B credible：可信的。convincing：可信的。That is the least convincing excuse that you could offer.convincing可替换credible而不改变句子的意义。workable：可行的，行得通的。Your plan is workable．practical：实际的，现实的。He is weak in practical matters．reliable：靠得住的。John is a reliable
man． 7．C diligent：勤奋的，努力的。hardworking：勤奋的，努力的。Jack was hardworking and energetic．ambitious：雄心勃勃的；有野心的。Chris is so ambitious，so determined to do it all．1azy：懒惰的。I was too lazy to read music．clever：聪明的。She is beautiful and clever． 8．D diverse：多种多样的；不同的。varied：多种多样的；不同的。It is important that your diet is varied and balanced．colorful：多色的：绚丽的。People in this small town wear colorful clothes．attractive：迷人的；吸引人的。She is both attractive and intelligent．flexible：灵活的。My schedule is flexible． 9．A faulty：有错误的；有毛病的。wrong：有错误的；有毛病的。Cheating is always wrong．ambiguous：歧义的：模棱两可的。This sentence is ambiguous．unclear：不清楚。His itinerary is still unclear．unbelievable：不可信的。I find it unbelievable that people can accept this sort of behavior． 10．C gorgeous：好极了，壮丽的。lovely：可爱的；美丽的。The girl is lovely．ridiculous：可笑的。It was an absolutely ridiculous decision．magnificent：壮丽的；宏伟的。There is a magnificent country house near the river．peculiar：奇特的；奇怪的。This house is peculiar in lots of ways．这些词都可替换，所生成的句子在语法上都是正确的。相比之下，magnificent最接
近gorgeous。 11．C persist：坚持；持续。continue：持续。She continued the work day after day．insist：坚持；坚持主张。My family insisted that I should not give in，but stay and fight．persevere：坚持。Despite the failure of his early experiments，the scientist persevered in his research．resist：反抗；顶住。The nation was able to resist the invasion．insist和persist在意义上并不完全相同。insist缺乏“持续”这个义项。persevere也缺少“持续”这个义项。因此，正确的选择是continue。“坚持”与“持续”在意义上似乎很接近，但在语义上的差别是很明显的。“坚持”至少要求有生命的东西作主语，但“持续”就没有这个要求。 12．D regulate：调整：控制。control：控制。She also had a temper, but she controlled it．fight：搏斗；战斗。More units to fight forest fires are planned．abolish：废除。The whole system should be abolished．remove：除去；消除。Most of her fears have been removed． 13．A scatter：分散：散布；消散。separate：分散；分离。We didn’t separate until nightfall．flee：逃走；消失。The robbers tried to flee，but they were caught．depart：离开；出发。We are ready to depart．spread：展开；散布。The rumour quickly spread through the village．spread与scatter有相同的义项——“散布”。
但此处只能是“分散”的意思。 14．B standpoint：立场；观点。point of view：观点；看法。The novel is shown from the girl’s point of view．position：位置；立场。The union may shift its position on the question．knowledge：知识。To my knowledge，he owns three houses，and he may own more．opinion：看法；意见。In my opinion，this book is the best book on the subject．虽然position也有“立场”的意思，但不能说from my position。同样地我们也不能说from my opinion。 1 5．C touching：动人的；感人的。moving：动人的；感人的。The beggar told her such a moving story that she almost wept．inspiring：鼓舞人心的。He made all inspiring speech．boring：令人厌烦的。Not only are mothers not paid but also most of theft boring work is unnoticed．frightening：吓人的。He gave us a frightening，but believable account of his childhood．

1.C shabby:不公正的；破旧的。与unfair（不公正的）意义相同。Her clothes were old and shabby.他过去穿的衣服既旧又破。Unforgettable:不会忘记的。A visit to Beijing is an unforgettable experience.去一次北京是一次不会忘记的经历。Unbelievable: It was an unbelievable moment when Du Li won the gold medal.杜丽获金牌之时大家高兴极了。Unthinkable:不可想象的。This place is going to be unthinkable without you.这里没有你不知道会变成什么样
子。
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，担心的”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神不定。）
3.A demolish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.D adverse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“迅速的”， positive“正面的，肯
定的”和adverse恰恰相反。
5.B concise的意思是“简明的”，如：a concise 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
面的”，profeional“专业的”。
6.D courteous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的区别是前者是“可尊敬的”，后者是“恭敬的，尊重别人的”，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.D invaluable这个词从形式上看似乎是valuable（贵重的，有价值的）的反义词，其实不然，它的意思恰恰是“无法估计的，十分宝贵的”，故应选extremely useful.其他的搭配还有an invaluable treasure（无价之宝），invaluable advice（很有用的忠告），invaluable heritage（宝贵的遗产）。选项A和invaluable反义，选项B的意思是“确实很实用”，选项C的意思是“几乎没有”。
8.C 此句的意思是“我认为在这里建一家豪华宾馆的想法简直是荒唐”。Insane是sane的反义词，意思是“精神错乱的，疯狂的”，如：He went insane at last.（他最终发疯了）。故该词和mad, crazy同义。reasonable和sensible的意思都是“合理的，有理的”，故都和insane相反。
9.A exhaustive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（长得令人厌倦），superficial（表面的），unconvincing（不能使人信服的）均不合适。
10.B ingenious: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，心想不知自己是否有资格去应聘”。Eligible的意思是“有资格做……，符合做……的条件”，如：Anyone above the age of 18 is eligible to vote.（18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.（并非每一个本地的居民都有资格享受社区提供的医疗保险。）
12.B vigorous: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运动量大的锻炼。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“并非所有的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常见的搭配还有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.C bias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.
（你的英语还不错。）
15.B terminate这个动词意为“结束”，可作及物或不及物动词用，如：We have decided to terminate our contract with your company.（我们已决定终止与贵公司的合同。）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（重新制定时间表）这三个动词都可以和construction搭配，但词义和terminate不相近。
