4. 冒号后内容对其前内容起解释作用，可由冒号后内容(或毁灭;或平静)推论空格内容应意指不清或矛盾，因而正确选项为B。答案：B
翻译：她的爱情里海洋是一个模棱两可的符号：对于陈述者而言它显然象征着一切本质上毁灭性的事物，而其他时候它却似乎象征着一切本质上平静美好的事物。
5. 句中their所指即为scientists，由despite和still not可推论出空格2内容应与determine同表肯定，因而可排除AB，而CD中选项2与文意不符，E即为正确选项。答案：E
翻译：尽管科学家做了多方面的努力以确定石油的起源模式，他们至今仍不能确定石油所产生的过程。
6.冒号后内容对其前的内容起解释作用，由冒号后内容(政治家要在韧性上远逊色于他们所效力的组织)可推论出空格内容应与enduring形成反义，因而排除ABD;而E从含义上判断应指事物难于持久而非形容人，因而可排除从而选择C(见参考释义)。答案：C
fickle: marked by lack of steadfastness,constancy, or stability, given to erratic changeableness《W》
characterized by erratic changeableness or instability, especially with regard to affections or attachments; capricious《American Heritage》
transitory: ①tending to pass away : not persistent ②of brief duration : temporary《Webster》

3. Powerful as they are, the ___ songs the artist is best known for might sting more and have even greater emotional complexity if one felt that his criticisms were aimed at himself as well as at his unnamed foes.
A accusatory B altruistic C mournful D simplistic E humble
解析：
1. 句中的Return of the Native由其后同位结构(一本他讲了三十多年的小说)可推论其即意味着familiarity，因而学生所感到惊讶的内容(即空格2)应和familiarity会带来的内容(即空格1)形成反义，因而排除ABC(均为同义);而E选项的admiration和confused并不构成反义;而D选项的boredom和excited可构成反义(厌倦与兴奋)。答案：D
翻译：由于罗希教授(Professor Roche)常挂在嘴边的格言之一就是熟悉会带来厌倦，因而他的学生当发现他对《本土人的回归》这一他已讲了三十多年的小说仍会兴奋时倍感惊讶。
2. 句中有两层关系，首先，由but后内容(人类的智力优越性愈来愈受到怀疑和审视)推论出前句内容应为推理被认为是人类的能力，因而空格1应表肯定，由此可排除C(scarcely表否定);其次，从冒号所起的解释作用可推论出大多数研究人员应支持动物能够思考观点，因而空格2应表肯定，由此可排除ADE(选项2均表否定)。答案：B
翻译：推理曾一度被认为是人类所独有的，然而近来这一关于人类的智力优越性的假设愈来愈受到怀疑与审视：大多数研究人员现今至少接受了一些动物也能思考这一观点。
3. 空格内容修饰歌曲，而由从句中his即指代主句中the artist可推论歌曲即意味着criticisms(批评)，因而空格内容应和此一致，即选择A(责问的，控诉的)答案：A
翻译：尽管一位艺术家赖以成名的控诉性歌曲如此有力，然而如若人们感受到艺术家的批判既是指向自己也是指向未提及的敌人，这些歌曲可能更会刺到痛处，也会在情感上更为复杂。
1. Traditional Chinese culture opposed music performed solely for entertainment; accordingly, China’s musical entertainers were, in the past, ______ a low social status.
A. exempt from B. relegated to C. privy to D. honored with E.scornful of
2. Although the diverse local idioms of English in England are not as strong as they once were, their ______ has been ______: television and radio are not the homogenizing forces that they were once thought to be.
A. variety … diminished B. importance … exaggerated C. colorfulness … muted
D. meaning … misconstrued E.resilience … underrated
3. Some suggest that students who are granted privileges receive them because their teachers wish to make the students______; more probably, causality flows in the opposite direction, in that teachers are likely to grant privileges to diligent students.
A. excitable B. independent C. malleable D. grateful E.conscientious
4. This writer of fiction believed that the novelist should not ______ the narrative, and that such inconspicuousness on the part of the author would preserve the illusion of reality.
A. preconceive B. minimize C. hasten D. agonize over E. obtrude into
解析：
1、传统的中国文化反对仅仅用于娱乐表演的音乐;所以，在过去，中国的音乐演艺人员被降级到了很低的社会地位。
[解析]：分号前面对music performed solely for entertainment持负评价，in the past可以看作Traditional Chinese culture的同义重复，所以分号后面的China’s musical entertainers也应该是负评价ABE。E是主动状态，显然不对，应该是他们被蔑视才对。再推敲一下AB马上可以发现A不是很低的社会地位，显然不是我们想要的负评价状态，所以只能选B。
2、尽管英格兰多样化的英语方言没有以前发达，但是它们的恢复力被低估了：电视和广播不再象以前一样被认为是(使语言)均一化的力量。
[解析]：转折前对diverse local idioms of English进行负评价，转折后就应该是正评价，转折后马上出现的their表明第一空格无论填什么一定是the diverse local idioms的上下义同义表达，所以第一空不重要，只要第二空是正评价即可。能够确定表示正评价的只有E。虽然翻译起来实在别扭的说。
3、一些人认为被赋予特权的学生们接受特权是因为他们的老师们希望使他们尽责;更可能的是，因果关系倒置的话，因为老师们可能给勤奋的学生赋予特权。
[解析]：分号表示同义重复，后面说到因果倒过来的话，老师给勤奋的学生特权，那前面不倒过来，就应该是老师给学生特权使学生勤奋。所以空格填diligent的同义词。能够与diligent构成同义表达的最接近的词汇是E。此题词汇较难，参考美国传统字典对conscientious的解释：thorough and assiduous，而assiduous与diligent是直接同义词。
4、这个小说作者认为小说家不应该(将自己的观点)强加入故事叙述中，从作者这一方来看这样不引人注意的做法会导致现实的错觉。
[解析]：and表示同义重复，后面的such表明inconspicuousness与空格是同义重复，哪个动作有不显眼的意思?好像没有特别合适的!那再看后面inconspicuousness会preserve the illusion of reality，显然reality同义重复前面的narrative，那么也就是说空格这个词汇既要有inconspicuousness的意思，最好也有导致illusion的意思，那就只有E了。
此题其实是2002年2月机考GRE考题机经第37题，另一种考法是空格在inconspicuousness处，选项中填这个词，题干与本题一模一样，obtrude into没有挖去而已。
