第1題

A.alike

B.alongside

C.aside

□.besides

參考答案：c您的答案：未作答

答案解析：本題考查副詞用法。alike意為“以同樣的方式；類似于”，用于強調(diào)兩者的類

似性，文中并未將“脾氣暴躁的鄰居們”與他人比較；abngside意為“在(……)旁邊”；besides

意為“此外；而且”；aside意為“撇開(……不談)將它們放人文中后，只有C項最符合語

義邏輯，表示“暫且不提暴躁易怒的鄰居們”，因此C項為正確答案。

第2題

A.conflicting

B.worrying

C.revealing

0.appealing

參考答案：A您的答案：未作答

答案解析：本題考查上下文語義。conflicting意為"沖突的，相矛盾的，不一致的”;worrying

意為“令人擔(dān)心的,煩惱的"；revealing是“給人啟發(fā)的，透露真情的"；appealing意為“吸

引人的，引起興趣的”?？崭袼诰渲赋觯褐翱茖W(xué)家們?yōu)榻鉀Q該問題做出很多的努力，結(jié)

論一直……，下旬緊接著指出目前一項研究揭示了這一問題的結(jié)論，可推斷之前的研究沒有

得出一致的結(jié)論。故A項為正確答案。

第3題

A.accordingly

B.indeed

C.hence

0.nevertheless

參考答案：B您的答案：未作答

答案解析：本題考查上下文邏輯關(guān)系。accordingly意為“因此，于是；相應(yīng)地"；indeed

意為“的確,確實hence意為“因此；今后”；nevertheless意為“然而；
