2016年10月30日GRE填空真題回憶
1. Anthropologist Jane Goodall was _____ in her determination to anthropomorphize the animals she observed with such empathy, and so resisted her editors’ attempts to recast her descriptions in more dispassionate language.
A. fickle
B. stalwart
C. solicitous
D. pretentious
E. whimsical
答案:B
解析:and 前后方向一致。And后面Jane Goodall 拒絕編輯以一種更不帶感情的語言去編輯她的描述,因此前面半句也要體現(xiàn)她反對不帶感情,即她支持要帶有感情,因此選B—堅定她決心將那些(懷著共如此共情情緒去觀察的)動物人格化的想法。
2. Though acquaintances are first overwhelmed by his ______, they soon appreciate that, contrary to appearances, he is not without self-interest.
A. egotism
B. magnanimity
C. ambition
D. profligacy
E. brilliance
答案:B
解析:Though 讓步,因此逗號前后轉(zhuǎn)折,后半句說他并不是無私的,前面半句應(yīng)該體現(xiàn)無私,選B慷慨大方。
