98年11月

　　1．【中文释义】很难有一个这样的综合概括，这个概括能够对人们的社会行为及指导这一行为的各种价值观作出归纳，这种概括同时从其他的各种观看角度来看又能不被动摇，或者不会被指责为思维简单或毫无意义。

　　【解题分析】两个从句同时修饰generalization，所以这两个特殊并列的从句应该同义重复，第一个从句的观点是能够建立这样的概括，第二个从句重复的方式是以双重否定来表示对这种概括的肯定。事实上全句讲述的就是中国古老的观点“仁者见仁，智者见智”，也就是对任何社会行为和价值观都无法作出一个综合的最终的概括。

　　【重点词条】generalization 1: the act or process of generalizing 2: a general statement, law, principle, or proposition 3: the act or process whereby a response is made to a stimulus similar to but not identical with a reference stimulus

　　inform 1 obs: to give material form to 2 a: to give character or essence to b: to be the characteristic quality of: animate 3 obs: guide, direct 4 obs: to make known 5: to communicate knowledge to <.~ a prisoner of his rights>. ~ vi 1: to impart information or knowledge 2: to give information (as of anothers wrongdoing) to an authority

　　simplistic 1: simple 2: of, relating to, or characterized by simplism: oversimple —— sim.plis.ti.cal.ly adv

　　rapid : marked by a fast rate of motion, activity, succession, or occurrence syn see fast ——

　　2.【中文释义】尽管食品的放射性处理所导致的维他命的损失可以由使用食品填加剂来弥补，但是也可能缺乏对致癌物的防范，这种致癌物是由（使用食品填加剂）这个过程所导致的，从而产生了对食品的某种恐慌心理。

　　【解题分析】上下句转折，下句为no protection, 是一种坏的情况，所以上句应为好的情况，上句结构简化即为destruction could be counterbalanced（a） ,只有这一选择才能表示一种好的情况。

　　【重点词条】destruction 1: the state or fact of being destroyed: ruin 2: the action or process of destroying something 3: a destroying agency

　　counterbalance 1: a weight that balances another 2: a force or influence that offsets or checks an opposing force 2counterbalance vt (1611) 1: to oppose or balance with an equal weight or force 2: to equip with counterbalances

　　introduce 1: to lead or bring in esp. for the first time 2 a: to bring into play b: to bring into practice or use: institute 3: to lead to or make known by a formal act, announcement, or recommendation

　　3.【中文释义】尽管他拒绝承担任何谈判失败的责任，但是史蒂文自己也没有赦免的理由；的确是由于他的尖刻才导致了这场彻底的失败。

　　【解题分析】分号上下句重复，上句的主句与从句转折，即使不填答案也应知道上句主句的意思为；他该承担责任，所以分号下半句重复这个意思，表示他有责任，可选d或者e, 而d的第一个单词不正确，故选择e.

　　【重点词条】 berate to scold or condemn vehemently and at length syn see scold accuse 1: to charge with a fault or offense: blame 2: to charge with an offense judicially or by a public process ~ vi: to bring an accusation —— ac.cus.er n —— ac.cus.ing.ly adv

　　4.【中文释义】这种占绝对主导地位的将对细节事实的强烈兴趣与对抽象概括的同样的专注结合的做法是我们当今社会的特点；在过去，这种结合最多只是零星地出现，并且显得是偶然出现的。

　　【解题分析】简化句结构即为：union is a hallmark of our present society. in the past, this union appeared sporadically. 一个常见的时间对比型。句子最为复杂的部分为union 后的介词短语，但这个介词短语的分隔纯属 ETS设置的陷阱，根本不需要理会。

　　【重点词条】devotion 1 a: religious fervor: piety b: an act of prayer or private worship——usu. used in pl. c: a religious exercise or practice other than the regular corporate worship of a congregation 2 a: the act of devoting b: the fact or state of being ardently dedicated and loyal (as to an idea or person) 3 obs: the object of ones devotion syn see fidelity

　　hallmark 1 a: an official mark stamped on gold and silver articles in England to attest their purity b: a mark or device placed or stamped on an article of trade to indicate origin, purity, or genuineness 2: a distinguishing characteristic, trait, or feature 2hallmark vt (1773): to stamp with a hallmark
