解析:
1、即使依據(jù)公司自己的效率標準,它早期的年份也是非常多產(chǎn)的:在那最初的3年時期它每月的器具產(chǎn)量達到3百萬之多。
解析:第一空沒法入手,由主干大法得知必須先考慮第二空,冒號表示解釋型同義重復。由冒號后面完整的信息推出第一空一定是正評價,同義重復后面完整的it manufactured as many as three million appliances a month during that three-year period.第二空選項中是正評價且能表達這個意思的只有C。
2、在19世紀,一些才華有限的作曲家由于成為期刊雜志的作者而被人崇拜,這些雜志期刊不僅給他們提供了掙錢的機會,也使他們的音樂觀點出名。
解析:根據(jù)主干大法,exhibiting ____ skill是修飾主語composers的,所以先不看。先做第2空,第2空顯然應該由by后面的所有成分來決定。afforded them an opportunity to earn money and to make their views about music known.是正評價的表述,所以第2空一定填正評價詞,B的第2空一看就知道是絕對的正評價詞,就算D有點干擾,比較一下第一空也能排除D。
3、文人們通常都不認可他們自己同時代的偉大的形象藝術家:比如對于Courbet這個被許多人認為是Baudelaire時代最偉大的畫家,詩人就給予非常少的推崇。
解析:此題第一空填動詞,正還是負評價讀到冒號暫時沒線索,冒號后出現(xiàn)了be the greatest painter of Baudelaire’s time,馬上想到就是前面出現(xiàn)的the great visual artists的同義重復,再看后面the poet應該是前面Writers的同義重復,主語賓語都重復出現(xiàn)了,而冒號表示同義重復,這就好辦了!構成邏輯分析的是冒號前有否定詞not,所以得出兩空一定相反。
構成相反感覺的有CE,仔細推敲無論語義還是邏輯都是E最合適(Evaluate是中性詞,與extravagant構成不明顯的反義,而recognize有認可贊同之意,與scant praise構成反義)。
