词汇选择题
1.Poland is somewhat a new destination for Chinese tourists, and Warsaw, the capital city, is an important business center with________night life and elegant dining.(A)
A. sophisticated
B. sluggish
C. sloppy
D. solitary
解析：该句对主题内容表现出肯定的感情色彩，尤其是and后与空格并列的elegant一词可以看出，只有A项sophisticated“时尚的；精致的”符合语境。sluggish“行动缓慢的；反应迟缓的”、sloppy“马虎的；敷衍的”和solitary“独自的；荒僻的”均带贬义。
2.Maria became increasingly________, so she fled to her hometown in Austria.(D)
A. hasty
B. horrified
C. hateful
D. homesick
解析：逗号前后由so连接，表因果。so后的结果说的是她飞回了老家(hometown)，能与此构成因果关系的只有D项homesick“想家的，思乡的”。
3.In this hero of the film, you see a new image of the Chinese man, quite different from the________portrayed in popular Hollywood movies.(B)
A. example
B. stereotype
C. formality
D. category
解析：由空格前的different from“与……不同”可知。空格填入的词应与前面的new image应构成转折关系，stereotype意为“刻板印象，模式化观念(或形象)”，符合上下文的转折关系。
4.Thousands of________at the stadium came to their feet to pay tribute to an outstanding performance.(C)
A. audience
B. participants
C. spectators
D. observers
解析：A项的audience的词根为audi“听”，audience原指听众，后来因为电影、电视的出现，也可指这些节目的观众；B项participants的词根为participate“参与”，participant指加入其中的人，如参加比赛或活动的人；C项spectators的词根为spect“看”，spectator指观众，尤指观看体育比赛的观众；D项observers的词根为serve“服务”，observer原指待在一旁伺机服务的人，他们经常需要察言观色，因此后来指观察者。通过构词法分析这些词，可知spectators符合语境，为答案。
5.When the goats are full, they________in the sun to digest and dehydrate before continuing their work.(B)
A. compress
B. congregate
C. confine
D. compel
解析：空格填入动词，其后是状语in the sun，故填入的动词应为不及物动词。选项中，confine“限制，限定”和compel“强迫，逼迫”均为及物动词，可首先排除。compress“压缩；缩短”可作及物和不及物，但语义不合适逻辑。本题选不及物动词congregate“集合；聚集”。
6.I________with rage at his offensive remarks, finding it meaningless to argue with such a rude man.(A)
A. quivered
B. quenched
C. quipped
D. quelled
解析：四个选项均带有前缀qu-，但意思相差很大。从后面的with rage“带着怒火”可知，此处陈述者在生气，只有quiver“发抖”填入句中表示“气得发抖”符合逻辑。quench常与fire-或thirsty搭配，表示“灭火”或“止渴”；quip“说悄皮话”与句子逻辑相反；quell“平息，镇压”也与with rage的语境不符。
7.After having been trapped underneath the mine for three consecutive days, the miners became very weak from lack of________.(D)
A. suspect
B. suspense
C. suspicion
D. sustenance
解析：四个选项均带有前缀sus-，形态相近，但意思相差很大。旷工被困，身体变得虚弱的原因应该是缺少食物和水，四个选项中只有D项sustenance“食物，营养”符合逻辑。suspect“嫌疑人”；suspense“悬念，焦虑”；suspicion“怀疑，嫌疑”。
8.It is imperative that all the accounts of the Property Management Company should be made_______to all the owners.(C)
A. transient
B. transitive
C. transparent
D. tranquil
解析：四个选项为形近的形容词，都带有前缀tran-。句子填入的形容词应说明物业公司的账户和业主之间的关系，按照常识业主应该能清楚知道物业公司的账户情况，该信息应该是公开透明的，C项“透明的”符合逻辑。transient“短暂的”；transitive“及物的”；tranquil“安静的”。
9.To win an election, a candidate needs to tour at least a third of the 600 villages that make up an average parliamentary________.(D)
A. citizenry
B. population
C. community
D. constituency
解析：本题四个选项的名词均含有“人”的意味，但具体所指有差别，要依据语境需求来选。A项citizenry指 “全体公民，全体市民”，是法律范畴；B项population指“人口”，与数量相关；C项community指“社群，社区”；D项constituency指“选区，选民”，句子与政治选举相关，D项符合语境。
10.The reception was attended by________members of the local community.(C)
A. excellent
B. conspicuous
C. prominent
D. n
