短文章
Industrial production of powders involves mechanical forces fracturing individual particles of material into ever-smaller particles. The theory explaining this fracturing recognizes two general types of behavior exhibited by material under stress: elastic and plastic deformation. Elastic deformation occurs when stress is placed or a brittle material, which deforms and then returns to its original shape when stress is removed. If the material is stressed too heavily, however, excess energy builds up and the material fractures. This behavior makes brittle material fracture suddenly when subjected to mechanical impact by powder-making machines. No brittle, or ductile, materials by contrast, are harder to fracture, since they respond to comparable amounts of stress by deforming plastically, that is, by changing sh ape permanently. Excess energy that builds up in the strained material is expended in deformation of the material rather than in fracturing. Plastic behavior can al so be exhibited by brittle materials as their particles become smaller during processing and thus less susceptible to fracturing.

短文章
late-eighteenth-century political economists regarded the specialization of labor as a positive development, resulting in increasingly refined products and services. However, to their contemporaries in philosophy and the arts, this development suggested society’s disintegration into conflicting interests. The political economists acknowledged that diverse occupations represented competing perspectives on society, since what one knew was a function of what one did, but they viewed specialization as a source of social unity. Individuals who produced only one product or service must depend on others for most of the ir needs; this, specialization was the basis of social cohesion. The common good depended upon everyone’s dependency guaranteed the unity and therefore the health of society. A fundamental problem with this concept recognized even then, was that specialization seemed to preclude anyone’s being able to demonstrate that the society was unified. If everyone’s knowledge of society was tied to specialized occupational interests, who was in a position to monitor society’s overall functioning?

反义:AEDC ECAB DBE
解析
Section1 填空
1、根据主干大法,本题的线索主词是she、titles和they、combinations,显然这里they只能是指代her musical compositions (看作titles的同义重复),也就是说句子的转折围绕titles展开。转折前对于titles的评价由第一空决定,转折后titles(they)的评价由unusual combinations决定(这取决于第二空的动词是正评价还是负评价),如果第二空是正评价词,表明titles与unusual combinations一致,那么转折前就应该相反,所以第一空填unusual combinations的反义表达;如果第二空是负评价词,表明titles与unusual combinations相反,所以第一空填unusual combinations的同义表达。第一空只有CE是清楚的unusual combinations的反义表达,候选。第二空选项单词正负评价正好相反(这是ETS惯用思路,2空题先变成2选1,再取舍就容易多了),根据前面逻辑分析只能选正评价的词汇,所以答案是E。
参考译文:尽管她糟糕地给她的音乐作品赋以寻常的(传统的)题目,但是这些作品却体现出对一些材料的不寻常的整合,比如罗马教的圣歌、亚洲的音阶风格节奏、古怪的声响和鸟鸣。
2、太简单了!显然空格后面的them指代前面的his versions,由so 。。。 that结构知道是同义重复,所以that前是his versions与French一致,那么后面也必然是这样,空格前出现负评价词never,所以空格处必须填负评价词。只有唯一的A是负评价词。
参考译文:尽管Partout搜集的民间故事并不仅仅来源于法国,但是那时他的描述却是法国风格以至于后来的法国民间故事集从来都不排除收录它们。
3、主干是清晰的not。。。but结构,但是我们不能确定all predictions of doom与the risks of harm是否同义重复,所以需要参考伴随状态的In arguing against assertions that environmental catastrophe is imminent,而在这里我们清晰地发现了the risks of harm的同义重复environmental catastrophe。伴随状态一定与主句一致,意思是对environmental catastrophe is imminent进行arguing against驳斥,所以空格中的词汇既然是claims指出的就应该与驳斥的相反,所以应该体现出not imminent。只有A。
参考译文:在对“环境灾难临近”的观点进行驳斥的过程中,她的书并没有嘲笑所有的命运预测,而是指出灾害的风险在许多情况中被夸大了。
4、第一空无法轻松判断,第二空是现在完成时并且出现了recently(重要的时间对比特征词,最近发生的动作一定是与以前相反),前面无论是否出现about the 1960’s也应该知道一般现在时There seems to be表示一般惯常状态,现在完成时+ recently表示最近发生的动作,是对过去或者一般状态的改变,所以“no+第一空”应该与第二空相反(题感好的同学应该能够马上觉察到the reading public’s thirst与the normal level of interest是同义重复,尤其是thirst 与interest很明显),以前thirst没有什么和现在interest有什么,正好与时间相反一致,两空填同义词即可,只有C。注意moderate不表示quenching熄灭。
注意时间相反题型的特点:1、时间相反一切相反。2、总是后者否定前者。3、现在否定过去,将来否定现在,更远的将来否定较近的将来。参考译文:看起来20世纪60年代阅读人群对书籍的渴望并没有减少;事实上,兴趣的正常标准只是最近下降了,因为人们渴望通俗的电视文献片。
5、简单的转折题。空格由sparks the imagination and provides lively entertainment取反决定,要想不幻想不生动不娱乐,只有C(didactic说教的)啦。
参考译文:尽管趋势是明显地说教,但是中世纪的诗歌经常激发(人们)想象力和提供以生动的乐趣以及虔诚的感情。
6、冒号表示同义重复,后面显然对烟是负评价,所以前面说减少燃烧也就是减少烟显然是好的情况,所以空格填正评价词,一眼看出E最合适。阅读中注意一般不去看in后面的东西,否则你很可能会粗略读后把“在亚马逊雨林中减少焚烧”理解成“减少燃烧亚马逊雨林”。
参考译文:在亚马逊雨林中减少焚烧的直接受益者之一是栗子工业:烟会驱除昆虫,而昆虫却通过给栗子树授粉而使栗子得以生长发育。
7、第一空填正还是负评价的动词要依据since后面的内容。that the tomb she has discovered was that of Alexander the Great是声明的具体内容,不需要读。initial report决定了最初的东西肯定是不完善的有问题的(这在学术英语中几乎是必然),而且有only帮助推断,所以第二空一定是负评价词ACE。最初的是不好的,后来的就应该是好的啦,不过这里没有时间对比因素,因为主句是过去时(urged)。所以这里her claim一定是her initial report的同义重复,所以要对它进行负评价,只有C啦。
参考译文:因为原始报告仅仅依据异想天开,研究委员会敦促这个考古学家砍掉她的声明,声明说她发现的这个坟墓是亚历山大的。
----------------------------
Section3 填空
1、简单的转折,第一空填agreement的反义词,直接一点D最好啦,范围大一些就候选BCD,第二空显然是由agreement决定填正评价词,只有D了。
参考译文:尽管普遍认为这是不需要争议的,但是他的这个理论还是遭到了反对意见,该科学工作者觉得有些莫名其妙。
2、无论是基本阅读还是技巧都能轻松做对。按阅读解:伴随持续潮湿的状态,土壤吸水的比率当然下降,第一空BD,so表示因果同义重复,什么越持续,水分越高,BD正好相反,当然是D啦。按技巧解:单独的or表示并列同义重复,所以第二空等于precipitation,只有ACE,再看第一空, AC与D正好相反,看不看懂都马上选出D。
参考译文:伴随持续潮湿的状态,土壤吸水的比率下降,因此暴雨持续越长或者下雨量越大,经地表汇入河流的水就越多。
3、句子主干是简单的AB两者比较,A比B更如何?AB相反,所以第一空由A决定,第二空是B的特征,所以两空相反,只有B。注意这里rather是副词。
参考译文:这个史学家的书中观点比(读者依据)书中开篇她对于主题的相当深奥的表述(所预期的)要容易理解得多。
4、单词比较难!but后面是no commitment,“没有约定”是负评价,前面就应该是正评价,第一空填正评价词BCD,冒号后面是解释。根据主干大法简化为uncertainties made the policymakers空格。不确定性使得决策者怎么样?当然是不确定啦BC。在许多字典上contentious与quarrelsome是同义词。注意:Contentious强调的是有不同意见,重点是“争”,而quarrelsome强调的是不同意见导致的争吵,重点是“吵”。此题没说到吵,所以答案是B。
参考ETS对本题的解释:The word “quarrelsome” is improper here for describing the controversial views harbored by different persons but emphasizes the shadow of anger and aggression gratuitous in this sentence. 参考译文:环境问题会议产生了激烈的争论但是没有行动决议:围绕着全球气候改变和防止它改变需要的巨大花费等问题上的不确定性使得政策决定者们争议不休。
5、此题还是单词太难。根据技巧主干简化为:Art 产生disturbing impact,后面experience产生空格,而experience由艺术引起,可以视为art的同义重复,所以冒号前后完全一致,空格中选出disturbing impact 的同义词BC。注意:disturbing让人烦恼,而ennui指的是无聊,不让人开心但是也不让人烦恼,而重点显然是impact,能够表示一种负评价的行为结果的只有C。
参考译文:忍耐的艺术常常产生原发性地让人烦恼的冲击效果:这种艺术试图引起的深刻经验必然产生一种错乱。
6、冒号是解释重复,后面整句话解释空格。单独的and表明空格要么满足2者之一即可,但是没有单词能表现出combines,但是D却很好地表现了while seeming to present life itself, can also offer impossible and dreamlike unrealities。
参考译文:电影的历史反映了这种媒体本身固有的矛盾:电影将静止的照片们结合在一起去表现连续的动作,并且当表现生活本身时,也常常提供一些不可能的虚幻的不真实东西。
7、so。。。that同义重复。什么让人印象深刻以至于人们认为她比实际更什么?显然两空一定同义。只有D。注意A more ____ than B表示AB相反,空格由A决定,也可以由B取非决定。本题中B是she in fact is,信息不够,所以只好由so memorable that结构从前面找,从而快速判断出答案。
参考译文:这个政客用漫骂使得她的演说生动,这是如此的让人印象深刻以至于许多人认为她的吹毛求疵(批判的)特点远胜实际。

解析
SECTION 1解析
1. 压缩:直径 (动宾关系)
A. 围绕:空间
B. 旋转:大小
C. 测量:深度
D. 提升:高度
E. 截短:长度
动宾关系,考虑‘方式’‘结果’‘感情色彩’,题干无特殊‘方式’‘感情色彩’,但结果使变小。看左边单词找一个个性特征接近‘使变小’的选项。
此题不难,单词常见,而且C选项是以前曾考过的,见黄皮教程P81-9。我们讲过优先选择过去出现过的正确选项,但不是看见过去的题就选,也要判断是否逻辑关系一致。
2. 损害,使有缺陷:无瑕的 (反面特征)
A. 抛光:迟钝的,阴暗的,没有光泽的
B. 使干净、清扫:干净的、质朴的
C. 解释:困难
D. 评价:有价值的
E. 卖:有利可图的
dull即可以指意识层面即头脑迟钝不灵光,也可以指物质层面即东西暗淡无光泽
3. 桶:容器 (种属关系)
此题用猜题法也能猜到是种属关系
A. 窗户:玻璃
B. 长柄勺:有盖的汤碗
C. 汽车:火车
D. 房间:房子
E. 匕首、短剑:武器
ACD选项容易排除,单词也常见。答案集中在BE之间,部分同学不认识B选项单词,但E选项单词却是大家都能确定的‘匕首是武器的一种’,所以优先选择最能确定的选项,直接选 E
4. 厚颜无耻的:批评(反面特征)
A. 乐观的:失望、挫折
B. 好斗的:激怒、挑衅
C. 慈善的:赞扬
D. 傲慢的:蔑视
E. 胆小的:焦虑
此题较难!因为看题干后第一感觉应该是:厚颜无耻的人不接受批评。而选项中无法马上找到这样的逻辑关系。所以这个时候要用到“大正大反”技巧!显然题干属于“大反”,故而优先在选项中找最确定的反义词,从而将A挑出。关系解释为:厚颜无耻的人不受“批评”影响=乐观的人不受“挫折”影响。
5. 豪华的、长毛绒的:节俭、朴素(反面特征)
A. 整洁的、整齐的:混乱
B. 浮华的、炫耀的:壮观、华丽(大正)
C. 沉默寡言的:沉默(大正)
D. 温顺的:抑制
E. 未受侵犯的、无污点的:圣洁(大正)
三正考反,确定题干为大反,而A选项的两个单词(常见单词)就是非常确定的反面特征。Plush这个单词已经考过,见黄皮教程P35-4,所以熟做真题。
6. 松弛:严峻的(反面特征)
A. 不赞成:审判的
B. 成功:和蔼可亲的
C. 野心:勤勉的
D. 懒散、不修边幅:过分讲究、过分注意
E.
此题在题干有点晕的时候扫描选项。可以清晰地发现A、B、C都是无关选项,在E不清楚地情况下只好选择D(大反)。
7. 蹒跚:蹒跚的(正面特征)
A. 散步:笨拙的
B. 闲逛:犹豫的
C. 潜逃:偷偷摸摸的
D. 游荡:精力充沛的
E. 跋涉:硬的
行走层面对应

A. 勇敢的:勇气
B. 残忍的、无勇气的:仇恨
C. 绝望的:忧郁
D. 粗心的、不考虑他人的:关怀、热心
E. 无瑕疵的:完美
A、C、E都是正面特征,“三正考反”
9. 夸耀:自命不凡的(正面特征)
A. 懒惰:沉思的
B. 撒谎:小心谨慎的
C. 顽固:易驾驭的
D. 斥责:尽责的
E. 轻信:易受骗的
此题完全是考词汇功底。都是老词,不难。

B. 友好地表现
C. 没有警告地发生
D. 产生预期的结果
E. 无限制地增长

SECTION ONE :AEACE CDEED ACCBD BADBC

A 充分、大量:稀少
B 接近:接近的(正面)
C 不对称:混乱、无秩序的
D 延长:广阔的
E 敏捷:敏捷的(正面)

2、恼怒:激怒
A 愤怒:证明……有道理
B 果断、决心:克服
C 不谨慎:误算
D 该罚、可责备:责备
E 迷惑:使迷惑
动作及结果。激怒的结果是恼怒=使迷惑的结果是迷惑。都是心理层面的对应。

A 修理、修复:打破的、损坏的
B 解释:混淆的
C 禁止:被允许的
D 抵制、使厌恶:讨厌的、多余的
E 解除武装、消除:侵略性的
消除关系。这道题非常难!题干显然都是熟悉的词汇,没有名词性的名词,属于大正大反原则中的大反,但ABCE都是大反,都可以理解成消除关系,这个时候需要考虑动作的主客体对应。dwindling有不断减少的意思,所以这道题目可以理解成:(人)不断地补充以消除不断减少的状态=(人)不断地修理以消除不断损坏的状态。都是人不断消除事物消极状态的对应,冒号左右2个词汇都是指同一事物。而BCE都是消除人自身的状态,冒号左右2个词汇都是指不同的人,如B我解释,消除你的混淆;C我禁止,消除你被允许的行为E我解除你的武装,消除你的侵略性。
4、无效的:有效

B 透明的:透明(正面)

7、乌合之众、暴民:控制、操纵
A 疾病:诊断
B 谜:解释
C 妥协:协商
D 错误:矫正
E 证词:证实
动宾关系。控制暴民=矫正错误。此题比较难!原因在于动词的个性特征对应得不明显。仔细通读后,动词的个性特征隐约有人支配改变事物的对应,即:控制暴民防止暴动=矫正错误防止异常。其余选项动词没有支配改变的个性特征。
8、新手:经验
A 大亨、巨头:威望
B 纪律严格的人:权威、权力
C 业余爱好者:兴趣
D 诗人:灵感

此题比较难!AB都有一定的道理。B好一些,参考:employ:to make use of (someone or something inactive);access:freedom or ability to obtain or make use of。注意E dissolve是解散,不是解雇。

9、和解:和谐
A 复职:解雇
B 恢复、复原:健康
C 补偿、报酬:报酬
D 重现、循环:事件
E 优雅:教养、优雅
动作及结果关系。和解的结果是和谐=复原的结果是健康。参考:reconcile:to restore to friendship or harmony;recuperate:to recover health or strength,都是恢复到从前的状态对应。C是种属关系,recompense:payment in return for something, such as a service;D是同义词关系。题干不是同义词关系,因为RECONCILIATION与harmonizing是同义词,表示行为的动词性名词,而HARMONY是表示状态的形容词性的名词。此题很难!
10、顾问:建议
A 对手:征服
B 乘务员:挥霍
C (陪少女上交际场所的)女伴:陪同
D 弟子:领导
E 调停人:争论
人及正面动作特征。此题有生词steward、chaperone,只能用排除法排除其他选项以后在BC中选一个,50%的准确率,若按照优选后者的原则可以做对。或者再细分用“无赖大法”,只评价COUNSEL与 squander、escort对应的工整性。显然COUNSEL、escort的动作客体都是人,而squander的动作客体是物。在考场上绝对不能在E mediator:dispute这样有逻辑关系但是不是常考关系的选项上浪费时间,因为只要类比题干出现人和一个动词的关系,大多数是人及正面特征,这是我们在课堂上反复强调过的,切记!
11、伪造的:真实性
A 被宣告无罪的:清白(正面)
B 变化无常的:有效性
C 有密切关系的:相关(正面)
D 猖獗的、狂暴的:抑制

反面特征。

A 危险的:焦虑、悬念
B 根深蒂固的:怀疑态度
C 无党派的、无偏见的:偏见
D 纵火的、煽动的:警惕

同义词。
13、小屋、棚屋:住处
A 筏:船只
B 摩天大楼:建筑
C 火山:山
D 礼堂:剧院
E 半岛:岛
特殊种属关系。棚屋是一种简易小住处=筏是一种简易小船。只要是特殊种属关系重点一定是在小概念词的个性特征对应上。词题的能和棚屋对应上的只有raft。
14、使人愉快的:反感
A 美味的:饥饿
B 模糊的:困惑
C 熟悉的:识别
D 炫耀的、招摇的:傲慢、自豪
E 乏味的:吸引、专注
反面特征。
15、剖析:标本
A 麻痹:病人
B 切开:皮肤
C 解析:句子
D 编辑:稿子
E 诠释:艺术品
动宾关系。动词的个性特征都是分开进行研究的对应。DISSECT:to analyze and interpret minutely;parse:to examine in a minute way : analyze critically。此题对单词水平要求较高!
