2014年1月25日SAT填空真題答案與解析如下:
Section 2
1. Jim was so opposed to any type of change that he ------- even the most beneficial of -------.
A. blamed......customs
B. presented.......inventions
C. welcomed.......reforms
D. anticipated.......results
E. resisted.......improvements
解析: so....that的因果關(guān)系,所以前后同義,第一空應(yīng)與oppose(反對(duì))同義,第二空是beneficial of...應(yīng)為正向詞,故E最合適。
翻譯:Jim 反對(duì)任何形式的改變,甚至是最有助于提高的(改變也反對(duì))。
2. Eager to enlist as a soldier during the American Revolution, Deborah Sampson Gannett successfully------- the military's gender boundary by donning men's clothing and ------ a male identity.
A. delineated........flaunting
B. circumvented........assuming
C. reinstated.......mimicking
D. denounced......inventing
E. skirted........disguising
解析: 從前半句可知,為了要參軍,D這個(gè)人成功的怎么樣了性別界限,說明這人是個(gè)女的,所以規(guī)避這組詞可選,故第一空B,E正確,第二空,她通過穿上男人的衣服并且要裝得像男人,所以排除了disguise(掩飾)。assume 這個(gè)詞作動(dòng)詞時(shí)可翻譯為“裝,做作”等意思=affect=act。所以正確答案為B
翻譯:Deborah很想注冊(cè)入伍,她通過穿上男人衣服裝扮男性,成功地規(guī)避了軍隊(duì)的性別界限。
