填空
E45.7 Certainly Murray's preoccupation with the task of editing the Oxford English Dictionary begot a kind of monomania,but it must be regarded as a __ or at least an innocuous one.
A tame
B tendentious
C meretricious
D beneficent
E sincere
选D 应该与at least an innnocuous one 取同义,而且程度更深,是个正向词汇.但是为什么不选B或E?
E43.7 Contrary to the popilar conception that it is powered by conscious objective,science often operates through error,happy accidents,__ and persistence in spite of mistakes.
A facts
B contrils
C hunchers
D deductions
E calculations
选C 因为后面是 in spite of mistake,前面与 persistence 并列的是正向词汇.但是D为什么不能选?

填空 E45.7 Certainly Murray's preoccupation with the task of editing the Oxford English Dictionary begot a kind of monomania,but it must be regarded as a __ or at least an innocuous one.A tameB tendentiousC meretriciousD beneficentE sincere选D 应
第一道题
Tame 和 sincere 的意思我们都知道.其他3个单词有这个定义:
B tendentious – expressing a controversial point of view
C meretricious – superficially attractive but of little value
D beneficent – generous or kind in intention
我倒认为 E.sincere 应该可以接受,
不过,说 Murray 的 obsessive preoccupation with work (工作奉献强迫症) 的动机出于他的beneficent 的意图并非不恰当.
其他的选项不符合逻辑.
第二道题
选 C.hunches 是最佳选择,因为 scientific research 就是不断的 trials and errors,guesses and hunches (预感/直觉引来的猜测或推测) 的路程,而 deductions 是路程结束,达到结论的最后阶段,不是路程中的一段.
