In the Old Southwest, only writers who showed exceptional ______ were likely

to become widely known, because the region's weak infrastructure inhibited the

development of publishing beyond local newspapers that served small towns.

(A) prescience (B) foresightedness (C) optimism

(D) resolve (E) patience (F) determination

這題我選(D)(F)

理由是由於這地方的基礎建設太弱，無法出版大量的報紙來宣傳作家的作品

所以作家一定要有"決心"，最後才會成功

句子中看不出有關"遠見"，所以才沒選(A)(B)

麻煩各位高手解答，謝謝

Although the inhabitants of Sardinia had initially offered little or no

resistance to Roman rule of their land, the landed gentry of west central

Sardinia later openly _____ Rome's enemy Carthage during the Second

Punic War.

(A) derided (B) queried (C) supported (D) accosted (E) envied

這句話的架構是

雖然不抵抗，但是...______....

因此 ____ 我猜想是和抵抗差不多的字

因此第一個就把 (C) 刪掉並且選了 (A)

但是答案竟然是第一個被我劃掉的...........能否請高手解惑

Sinden notes that in the face of warnings about the perils of climate change,

the need to agree on strategies for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions is

increasingly urgent. The question of who should reduce emissions is not

(i)_______. Rather, according to Sinden, it is the question of who should

bear the costs of these reductions that is (ii)___________.

Blank (i) Blank (ii)

(A) particularly vexed (D) redundant

(B) universally resolved (E) contentious

(C) politically innocuous (F) prescient

這題的問題在第一個空格

其實我對 Rather前後的句子感到很困惑

誰應該減少排放的這個問題並不_____。相反地，誰應該承受減少排放的後果才是有爭

議的。

誰應該減少排放不就代表減少的人要承受後果嗎? 為什麼中間會放個 rather來對比阿!?

所以第一空格我選了(B) 誰應該減少排放的問題並未被解決，因此誰該承受才是有爭議的

The politician was famously restrained, with a tendency to focus his fury

inward: while he would defend himself publicly against detractors' attacks,

he would never stoop to________.

(A) refutation (B) adjuration (C) fulmination (D) asseveration

(E) ingratiation

這位政治家非常克制，雖然他會為自己辯護，但他絕不會彎腰______

由於看到stoop，因此我第一個就刪除了(C)

因為誰會彎腰批評人啊，通常都是趾高氣昂，抬頭挺胸的批評阿

我選了(E)，他絕不會彎腰諂媚

但答案卻是被我第一個刪除的.........................

An academic with a questionable record in either teaching, administration,

or research may still be well regarded at many schools, but simultaneous

failure in all three areas normally results in ___________ by superiors.

(A) exculpation (B) dismissal (C) impeachment (D) disapprobation

(E) censure (F) acquittal

這題我選了(B)(D)

根據MW字典

dismiss: to reject serious consideration of <dismissed the thought>

disapprobation: the act or state of disapproving;

the state of being disapproved

censure: official strong criticism

怎麼看dismissal和disapprobation才應該是一組阿

怎麼(D)(E)會被歸類到一組呢

------------------------------------------------------------------------

非常感謝各位耐心看完
