答案:
51 B 該段中有這樣一個(gè)短語(yǔ)"particularly difficult to catch"(很難找到他),"well known for keeping himself to himself"是"以與世隔絕為大家熟知".可以看出,根據(jù)下文,用"well known"最為合適。
52 A hold:抱住;拿住。run into和bump into都有"撞上"的意思,這是不由一個(gè)人的主觀意志所能控制的。
53 D 對(duì)第一段做解釋時(shí),提到了上下文可以幫助我們做出正確的判斷。緊隨其后的是"It came as a complete surprise."(這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)來(lái)得很突然)。"shock"和"surprise"意思很接近,因此選擇"shocked"是對(duì)的。
54 c like作"喜歡"解時(shí)是動(dòng)詞,而此處需要的是一個(gè)名詞。devotion后面跟"to",attraction是"吸引"的意思。填入后意思不太合適。因此只有"love"是正確的選項(xiàng)。
55 A despite引導(dǎo)的是一個(gè)反比,主旬中有一個(gè)"easy",那么它的反義詞就是"difficult".
56 B "幻make a breakthrough"等于"t0 break through".是周定的搭配。
57 c "t0 take one's place"是"處于某種位子", 是固定的說(shuō)法。
58 C 這里需要填入的是一個(gè)不及物動(dòng)詞,"received","obtained","had"都是及物動(dòng)詞,只有"won"既可作及物動(dòng)詞,又可作不及物動(dòng)詞。
59 A 在這四個(gè)動(dòng)詞中,只有"deal"可跟"with"搭配。
60 D 整個(gè)句子說(shuō)的是:在處理這個(gè)國(guó)家依然存在的暴力,犯罪和種族隔離問(wèn)題,他的書(shū)能使一般人從內(nèi)部理解種族隔離。"從……角度"常用"from…".
61 D "casts its shadow"是"給……帶來(lái)影響",是固定的搭配。
62 B "think twice"相當(dāng)于漢語(yǔ)中的"三思而后行".正如漢語(yǔ)中不說(shuō)"二思而后行"一樣,英文中也不說(shuō)"think three times",這是固定的說(shuō)法。
63 c 該句子的意思是,他作品中的純潔性反映到了他的個(gè)人生活中,"mirrored"是"反映"的意思。
64 A 從下文"far greater than the things he has given up"(比起他放棄的東西要多得多)來(lái)看,選擇"contributed"是對(duì)的。全句說(shuō)的是:但是,他對(duì)文學(xué)、文化、南非人民所做出的貢獻(xiàn)比起他放棄的東西要多得多。
65 D 其他三個(gè)動(dòng)詞填入后生成的都是不合格的句子。
