参考答案与解析
1. D[解析]rough意为粗糙的、艰苦的,rough time指困难时刻,与difficult time意思一样。long意为长的;short意为短的;happy意为幸福的,与rough意义相反。
2. C[解析]give up是"放弃"的意思。如:In view of the circumstances,we should giveup the plan.考虑到情况的变化,我们应该放弃这项计划。abandon也是"放弃"的意思。如: After the age of about thirty he abandoned individual ambition.他一过三十就放弃了个人的雄心壮志。lost的意思是丢失;create意为创造;take意为拿。
3. D [解析]concrete意为具体的,它的同义词是specific。如:In painting art,the expressed most specific theme and image is often the most abstract thinking.在绘画艺术中,最具体的主题和形象所表达的往往是最抽象的思想。special的意思是特殊的;good,好的;real,真的。
4. A[解析]convert的意思是转变、改变,change也是"改变"的意思。drop的意思是掉下、落下,而短语drop in意为顺便走访,如:Can you drop in at my office?你能顺便到我办公室来一下吗?reduce是"减少"的意思;leave的意思是离开。
5.C[解析]identify是"识别、认出"的意思。如:We must also identify and nurture newtalent.我们也必须识别和培养新的人才。recognize也是"认出"的意思。discover指发现,如: Columbus was one of the first Europeans to discover North America.哥伦布是最早发现北美洲的欧洲人之一。touch,触摸;miss,错过、想念。
