正确答案

1.B consider sth. 认为某物如何。因而被动语态为sth. be considered…。ponder沉思,考虑。refer提到,涉及,咨询。
2.C that之后提到it often seems that very little progress has been made“似乎没有什么进步”,因此profound“深刻的,意义深远的”可首先排除。illegal“违法的,不合规定的”不符合该处语境。identical“同一的”不符合逻辑关系。答案是different,意为“人们的结论是如此不同,往往看起来几乎没有取得什么进步。”
3.C 前面提到“看起来几乎没有取得什么进步”,这里是“有些人觉得我们在后退”,前后句并没有转折或对比,选项A、B、D排除。答案是C项,表示本句是对上一句的细节发展。
4.D 由下文的that we have more “knowledge”可以推断此处是“积累、积聚”的意思,D项正确。abandon“放弃,遗弃”。enrich“使充实,使富足”。derive“得自,起源”。
5.C 前文提到很多人觉得我们又退后到开始积累知识,that从句的意思是:我们比我们的祖先有更多的知识。故空白处应是一个表示“认同”的词。结合选项:confess“承认,坦白”,往往用于承认错误、罪行。realize“认识到”,与often contemptuously“往往是轻蔑地”不符。reveal“展现,揭露”不符合语境。答案是admit,意为“承认”。
6.C even说明此处是在前一句基础上的递进说明,前一句提到我们比以往任何时候都原理真理,故lost“丢失”最能说明程度的加深。句意:甚至丧失了我们曾经拥有的真理。
7.D 从句意上可以看出这个从句是question的同位语,与question“问题”对应的应是whether“是否”。
8.A for good measure为固定用法,表示“作为额外增添”。
9.B 本段都是为了说明首句,当人们长期寻找某样事物而不得的时候,就会怀疑它是否存在。本句中“没有证据证明所有的部分都出现在这一组合中”即对应首句的“找不到的事物”,but表明破折号前后是对比转折关系,故此处应是表示“这种动物的每一部分都存在”,exists符合句意。
10.C 常用于修饰evidence“证据”的是reliable“可靠的”。appropriate“适当的”。unique“独特的”。dependent“依靠的”。
11.D conceivable“可能的,想得到的”,此处表示:至少可以想象那些寻求真理的人犯了一个相似的错误。informative“情报的,见闻广博的”。thoughtful“深思的,体贴的”。considerable“相当大的;值得考虑的”。
12.B 这里是将动物的例子与那些寻找真理的人进行对照,二者在某种程度上是一样的。选项中能用于修饰这种“不切实际”的组合的是imaginary“想象的,虚构的”。 unbelievable“难以置信的,不可信的”。impressive“给人深刻印象的,感人的”。idealized“理想化的”。
13.A 句子真正主语是to consider that the noun truth comes from the adjective true“认为名词‘真理’来源于形容词‘真的’”,enlightening“有启发作用的”,符合该处语境。delighting“令人高兴的”。refreshing“提神的,使清爽的”。distressing“悲伤的,使痛苦的”。
14.A 这里是对true的概念进行解释,即accurate“精确的”,需填词与to facts连用应表示相似意思。conform to“符合”,符合该处语境,conform to facts“与事实一致”。comply with“顺从,遵守”。match“相配,匹配”。resemble“象,类似”。
15.B 主句“我们不能明确证明”,从句“甚至是更古老的表示‘真理’的词也可能被忘记了”,主从句是因果关系,后句是对前句的原因说明,故选since。
16.A 前面提到我们不能明确证明,but提示句意转折,则该处应是表示:尽管可靠性仍值得怀疑,但它却是有合理之处。reasonable“合理的,公道的,通情达理的”,符合句意。inevitable“不可避免的,必然的”。incredible“令人难以置信的”。feasible“可行的”。
17.C compare与with搭配表示“将…与…比较”。separate“分开,隔离”。discern“识别,领悟;认识”。distinguish“区别,辨别”。
18.B you decide that his statement was true“你判断他的话是真的”,也就是事实和他的话相符,fit“与…相符”,符合句意。suit“合适,使适应”。vary“改变,变更”。identify“识别,鉴别”。
19.C examine“检查”,这里指“检查他的话看看是否有真理在里面”。survey“调查;测量,勘定”。audit“审计;查账”。investigate“调查,研究”。
20.D variation“变化,变异”。前边提到,将他的言行对比,看他的话是否是真的(true)。但不能单从他的话来看是否真实(truth)。因为第二个说法“是否真实”(whether there is something called truth in them)只不过是第一个的语法变化而已。
