词汇选择题
1.In significant parts of Eurasia, the middle centuries of the first millennium______a significant transition in human cultural history.(B)
A. define
B. mark
C. identify
D. specify
解析：本题考查动词在具体语用环境中的应用。四个选项中的单词均为动词，且形式均符合句子的语法要求，但其具体意义各不相同。define意为“定义，解释”，mark意为“标志，做标记于”，identify意为“识别；鉴别”，specify意为“指定，详细说明”。结合本题语境，选项中只有mark与a significant transition符合上下文意思搭配，意为“标志着一个重大转折”，故只有B选项符合题意。
2.It can sometimes feel like the world is very noisy — from planes arching loudly through the sky to the______buzz of your cellphone.(D)
A. unavailing
B. unassuming
C. unconvincing
D. unceasing
解析：本题考查形容词语义搭配。四个选项皆为以un-(表示否定)为前缀的动名词形式，但语义却完全不同，unavailing意为“无效的；徒劳的；无益的；无用的”，unassuming意为“谦逊的，不出风头的”，unconvincing意为“不足以令人相信的”，unceasing意为“不断的，不停的”。结合本题上下文，只有unceasing能修饰buzz，意为“不断的嗡嗡声”，故只有D选项符合题意。

A. abandonment
B. absurdity
C. accident
D. aggression
解析：本题考查形式相近的名词语义搭配。四个选项均以a开头，均为贬义词，abandonment意为“放弃；放纵”，absurdity意为“荒谬；谬论；荒谬的言行”，accident意为“事故；意外”，aggression意为“侵略；进攻；侵犯”。结合本题语境，选项中只有accident能与experience搭配，故只有C选项符合题意。

A. vigilant
B. vehement
C. venomous
D. vulnerable
解析：本题考查形式相近的形容词词义辨析。四个选项均以字母v开头，形式上容易使人混淆，但词义各不相同。vigilant意为“警惕的；警醒的；注意的；警戒的”，vehement意为“感情强烈的，热烈的；激烈的；激越；慷慨”，venomous意为“有毒的；恶毒的；分泌毒液的；怨恨的”，vulnerable意为“易受攻击的；易受伤害的；脆弱的”。结合本题，vulnerable最符合句意，故选D。
