BLANK (i) BLANK (ii)

(A) activism (D) devoted to

(B) apathy (E) indifferent to

(C) affability (F) shaped by

KEY:AE

1.关键字:“in contrast to”,“despite”,时间对比

2.Blank1中应该填入一个名词,表示Simpson对于政治的一种态度,blank2中应该填入一个动词词组,表示Simpson在求学时对于政治的做法;

3.前半句中有in contrast to,表现的是Simpson在大学期间与其之后对于政治态度的描述,因而根据时间对比,blank1与blank2中应该体现的是一种完全相反的态度;

4.根据后半句的despite,Simpson应该与其所在的大学中氛围相反,他所在的大学“was rife with politicalactivity”,大家都热衷与政治活动,而他则应该是“不热衷于政治运动”,即可以推出blank2中的词语,而同理,根据刚才的推断,blank1中应该是“Simpson现在对于政治运动很热衷”的态度了。

5.词语解释:

[1].(A) activism:(实践主义)adoctrine or practice that emphasizes direct vigorous action especially insupport of or opposition to one side of a controversial issue

KEY:AD

1.关键字:“as”,随着……,同义关系

2.看到as结构以后,找寻其所描述事情的同义关系的结构即可;as结构中所涉及到的是作者的eyesight的问题,后面句子中eyes是eyesight的同义转述,因而形容eyes的词语即形容eyesight的词语,因而选择(A)、(D)选项。

3.词语解释:

[1].(A) deteriorate:(受损)to become impaired in quality, functioning, or condition

[2].(B) sharpen:(锋利)to make sharp or sharper
