“我相信我可以”
陈圣元的填空总结
96年4月Section 1

1.【正确答案】B

【中文释义】尽管科学家轻视这种思想,遗传代码的突发变异，即自发变异,为奇思异想，但是有可能大自然会象某些音乐大师一样偶尔即兴演奏，远非所期待的，或可预料得到的。

【解题分析】空格之后出现的一段分隔“departing from the expected or predictable ”显然是给空格提供答案的，五个选项中能表达出这个分隔的为B的improvises。故正确答案为B。

【重点词条】

spontaneous 1: proceeding from natural feeling or native tendency
without external constraint 2: arising from a momentary impulse 3:
controlled and directed internally: self-acting <~ movement
characteristic of living things> 4: produced without being planted or

external influence, force, cause, or treatment 6: not apparently
contrived or manipulated: natural -- spon.ta.ne.ous.ly adv --
spon.ta.ne.ous.ness n

acting or activated without deliberation. spontaneous implies lack of
prompting and connotes naturalness <a spontaneous burst of applause>.

moment <impulsive acts of violence>. instinctive stresses spontaneous
action involving neither judgment nor will <blinking is an
instinctive reaction>. automatic implies action engaging neither the
mind nor the emotions and connotes a predictable response <his denial

2.【正确答案】D

【中文释义】尽管时间，空间、历史和各种人类社会形态具有偶然性，但以上种种世界却面临着相同的存在问题，并且得出了高度类似的解决方案，差别只是存在于琐碎的细节之中。

【解题分析】由第二个空格之后的分隔“differing only in superficial details”可知第二空格只能选A和D，并且D更好，因为分隔中指明仍存在一些细微的差异，而并非完全identical。由A和D的第一个词来看，构成转折的也为D，故正确答案为D。

【重点词条】

contingency 1: the quality or state of being contingent 2: a
contingent event or condition: as a: an event (as an emergency) that
may but is not certain to occur <trying to provide for every ~> b:

3.【正确答案】A

【中文释义】尽管他广为人知的是在他的公开行动中极端地拘谨沉默，但学者们发现他的日记却是以非同一般的坦率的态度而写就的。

【解题分析】由转折关系可轻松得知两个空格应为一组反义词，分别表示他在公开行为中和个人日记中的相反态度，五个选项构成一组反义词的选项为A，故A为正确答案。

【重点词条】

subtlety 1: the quality or state of being subtle 2: something subtle

4.【正确答案】E

【中文释义】由于科学知识日新月异的发展，教科书新版本的编辑工作在原作之后不久就开始了。

【解题分析】句中的with是填空中一再出现的表示因果或条件关系的连词，此文中的with表因果，因此我们阅读时要注意寻找上下句的关系，事实上本句中除了将scientific knowledge和下句的textbook联系起来之外，上下句几乎无法找到任何相关联之处，所以思路中应将　scientific knowledge 和textbook等同起来，事实上教科书就是记述科学知识的，所以教科书的不停更新就代表着科学知识的不断更新，故空格应填科学的“更新”，正确答案为E。

【重点词条】

burgeon 1 a: to send forth new growth (as buds or branches): sprout
b: bloom 2: to grow and expand rapidly: flourish

culmination 1: the action of culminating 2: culminating position:
climax syn see summit

5.【正确答案】E

【中文释义】她在商业事务中非常节省，但在她的个人生活中却展示出一系列的挥霍行为。

【解题分析】文中的in mattes of business与in her private life显然是一组反义的状语，相应地，空格应与上文的frugal相反义，故正确答案为E。

【重点词条】

streak 1: a line or mark of a different color or texture from the
ground: stripe 2 a: the color of the fine powder of a mineral
obtained by scratching or rubbing against a hard white surface and
constituting an important distinguishing character b: inoculum

diseases of plants (as the potato, tomato, or raspberry) resembling
mosaic but usu. producing at least some linear markings 3 a: a narrow

stress. equanimity suggests a habit of mind that is only rarely
disturbed under great strain <accepted her troubles with equanimity>.
composure implies the controlling of emotional or mental agitation by
an effort of will or as a matter of habit <maintaining his composure
even under hostile questioning>. sangfroid implies great coolness and
steadiness under strain <handled the situation with professional
sangfroid>.

6.【正确答案】C

【中文释义】如果政府最新的预算问题是反常的，这样做，也即在避免未来岁月中的目光短浅的财政计划的会出现的必然后果的努力中利用它们作为启迪性的例子，是无益的。

【解题分析】全句为一条件结果句结构，好的条件导致好的结果，坏的条件导致坏的结果。该句中的结果已经明确指明为“not useful”，故第一个空格应为贬义词，可以候选的只有C，故C为正确答案。

【重点词条】

exceptional 1: forming an exception: rare <an ~ number of rainy days>
2: better than average: superior <~ skill> 3: deviating from the
norm: as a: having above or below average intelligence b: physically

claiming unusual enlightenment

7.【正确答案】E

【中文释义】正如一些作家对于语言的表达能力感到绝望一样，Giacometti为艺术表达现实的失败而痛苦不堪。

【解题分析】该句所讲述的观点与NO6第三套section 4中的第7题的观点是一模一样的，大家可以将这个观点记忆到脑海中，这是ETS的另外一个固定观点。在解题时应注意到两个常见的解题点，其一是just as表示了上下句的同义重复，其二是上半句中的express与下半句中的convey为同义重复，从而可知“艺术表达现实”也即上句“语言表达现实”，从而知上半句中的“语言表达现实”也应该是失败的，故可选C和E或A，第二个词应继续完成上下文的这个同义重复含义，故E为正确答案。

【重点词条】

abjure 1 a: to renounce upon oath b: to reject solemnly 2: to abstain
from: avoid <~ extravagance> -- ab.jur.er n

syn abjure, renounce, forswear, recant, retract mean to withdraw
one's word or professed belief. abjure implies a firm and final
rejecting or abandoning often made under oath <abjured the errors of
his former faith>. renounce often equals abjure but may carry the
meaning of disclaim or disown <renounced abstract art and turned to
portrait painting>. forswear may add to abjure an implication of
perjury or betrayal <I cannot forswear my principles>. recant
stresses the withdrawing or denying of something professed or taught
<if they recant they will be spared>. retract applies to the
withdrawing of a promise, an offer, or an accusation <the newspaper
had to retract its allegations against the mayor>.

exemplify 1: to show or illustrate by example 2: to make an attested
copy or transcript of (a document) under seal 3 a: to be an instance
of or serve as an example: embody b: to be typical of

bewail 1: to wail over 2: to express deep sorrow for usu. by wailing

96年4月section 5

1.【正确答案】E

【中文释义】尽管事实上将动物的生命周期分为诸如幼年期，青壮期和衰老期这样的离散的阶段是很方便的，但这些时段并不是真正的截然分开的。

【解题分析】下句中的periods重复上句中的stages，上句中用separate修饰stages，下句转折后应否定separate，故正确答案为E。

【重点词条】

<the ~ period> 2: providing or receiving prenatal medical care <a ~
clinic> <~ patients> -- pre.na.tal.ly adv

2.【正确答案】B

【中文释义】尽管自从1850年以来被汇报的火山爆发的数目呈指数上升，但这并不表示火山活动增加，相反却表明了更加广泛和系统化的记录手段。

【解题分析】第二个空格的形容词与widespread并列，表示一种好的记录方法，故可选A、B。而第一个空格又与后文构成转折，故选A。
【重点词条】

exponential 1: of or relating to an exponent 2: involving a variable

exponential function; esp: characterized by or being an extremely
rapid increase (as in size or extent) <an ~ growth rate> --

weakening of something good or impressive <waning enthusiasm>. ebb

3.【正确答案】B

【中文释义】诠释在政治压迫政体下写作而成的小说的挑战存在于区分哪些是作者的信仰本身固有的部分，与之对立的是哪些是由政治压力所强加的部分。

【解题分析】由第二个空格后的by短语可轻松得知空格的动词应为coerce。五个选项中与coerce同义的是B。答案E的demanded也可勉强入选。再结合第一个空格判断，organic和peripheral为反义词，正确的为organic，因为两个what从句之间又为对比关系。B正确地表达了这个关系，故正确答案为B。

【重点词条】

innate 1: existing in, belonging to, or determined by factors present
in an individual from birth: native, inborn <~ behavior> 2: belonging
to the essential nature of something: inherent 3: originating in or

heredity or so deeply rooted and ingrained as to seem acquired in

abnormal development of the brain 2: something notably stupid or

【解题分析】很有趣的句子。 despite表明全句为转折句。上句的protestation就是下句的denial 的同义词，故下句应否定denial以构成转折“尽管一再辨解，但脸上的表情却揭穿了辨解”。空格中应填上一个否定denial的词，故正确答案为A。

【重点词条】

1.【正确答案】B

【中文释义】

据称，科学家们会避免作出欺骗性的实验结果的宣告，因为存在这种可能，当其他的研究者们不能复制他的实验结果时，他们就会被揭露出来。

【解题分析】这一句的基本含义在No.8第三套section 1的第三题就有过重复，在92年的考卷中也重复了。科学家们replicate或是duplicate相互的实验结果就是为了检验结果的真伪，原句中的be exposed显然是由cannot duplicate their findings所导致的。

3.【正确答案】B

【中文释义】

和吸气所需要的大量肌肉活动相比，呼气通常是一个消极被动的过程。

【解题分析】前后对立面转折，所以下文的呼气应该不需要肌肉的活动，强调了不需要自身肌肉参与的形容词为B，尽管有人感觉A也可以，但实际上，如果下文要强调呼气是个缓慢的过程，则和下文相对比的应该是大量肌肉活动就造成了吸气很快，而上文强调的是肌肉的参与，所以下文应对称地强调肌肉不参与。这样答案只有可能是B。

【中文释义】

关于高中生活的纪录片是如此的真实和勾人心弦，以至于怀旧的情绪淹没了大学年龄的观众。

【解题分析】 so…that…结构的结果是大学年龄的观众被激发出了怀旧的情绪，所以可得答案C，答案B的pitiful的含义是“令人同情的”，如果选B，那么结果就应该是产生同情心，而原文中是产生了怀旧的情绪，所以B并不正确。

尽管乔治·奥凯夫以他对沙漠风光的熟悉最为有名，但他的城市主题作品证实了他长期居住在纽约。

【解题分析】前后转折，上句是对沙漠的熟悉，所以下句应该肯定他在纽约的居住，这样就构成了“尽管住在大都市，却对沙漠风光很熟悉”这样的转折句。
