  　【2010年篇文章第二题】

22.Newspaper reviews in England before World War II were characterized by_________

[A] free themes [B] casual style [C] elaborate layout [D] radical viewpoints

【答案】A

【解析】首先我们来翻译一下选项：A开放的话题，B随意的风格，C讲究的布局，D激进的观点，本题为细节题，根据Newspaper reviews in England before World War II 定位到原文的第三句We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II .题干中newspaper reviews in England before World War II.对应文中的newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II，在原文中对这个报纸评论的评价就是一个词unfocused替换的选项是A free themes ;un对应free ，focus 对应theme。

【2011年篇文章题】

21.We learn from Paragraph 1 that Gilbert’s appointment has________

[A]incurred criticism 引起批评 [B]raised suspicion 遭到质疑

[C]received acclaim 受到赞同 [D]aroused curiosity 激发好奇心

【答案】C

【解析】题干意为“我们从段可以知道Gilbert的任命”，我们再来翻译一下各选项的含义，A引起批评，B遭到质疑，C受到赞同，D激发好奇心。根据题干中的 Paragraph 1我们可以定位到段。B项raised suspicion和D项aroused curiosity都是强烈的干扰选项，很多同学由于没有注意到定位到段的要求，错误的使用第二段句话作为依据：One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise ，尤其是其中的surprise和curiosity、suspicion构成了同意替换。根据段中的the response has been favorable ，可以确定 favorable和acclaim构成的同意替换。因此，正确选项为C项。
