A straightforward

參考答案：E
由by contrast可推論出空格內(nèi)容與simple相反，因而正確選項(xiàng)為E。

A tranquil…emanate
B morbid…convey
C languid…eschew
D disturbed…express
E felicitous…shun
參考答案：A
由冒號(hào)后內(nèi)容對之前內(nèi)容（在該藝術(shù)家的作品中彌漫著一絲心靈上的陰暗，足以讓最為理性的人失控）起解釋作用可推論空格1應(yīng)為正評價(jià)，即對應(yīng)于sensibility，從而可排除BCD（反義），而E的選項(xiàng)1含義并不對應(yīng)，因而正確選項(xiàng)為A。
參考譯文：
在該藝術(shù)家的作品中彌漫著一絲心靈上的陰暗，足以讓最為理性的人失控：即便在她到羅馬旅游那段相對平靜的日子中的畫作也彌散著暴力，秘密與絕望。

C well-known…disdain for
D conservative…appeal for
E empathetic…distrust of
參考答案：A
可由renewal of religious fervor所在的并列結(jié)構(gòu)推論出空格1應(yīng)為正評價(jià)，因而排除BDE；而由主句內(nèi)容（宗教熱情的復(fù)萌以及與更為有魅力的牧師的必然競爭不可避免地加劇了）可推論出空格2亦為正評價(jià)，因而排除C。
參考譯文：
即便在1830和1840年代那些沉著而無感情的教派中，宗教熱情的復(fù)萌以及與更為有魅力的牧師的必然競爭不可避免地加劇了對于執(zhí)政中表演技巧的培養(yǎng)。

由冒號(hào)后內(nèi)容對之前內(nèi)容起解釋作用，可由冒號(hào)后內(nèi)容（不分性別、階層、職業(yè)和種族）排除ABDE；或由空格1與空格2的并列結(jié)構(gòu)亦可排除DE。
參考譯文：
肺結(jié)核長久以來都是散發(fā)而多變的：幾千年來，它不分性別、階層、職業(yè)和種族折磨著人類。

參考譯文：
他發(fā)現(xiàn)他的新相識(shí)的朋友難于了解：試圖了解她的性格就如同窺視位置的領(lǐng)域。
6. The writer has gained such popularity with his readers that even his inanities are now considered ___.
A vacuous
B tedious
C speculative
D allusive
E trenchant
參考答案：E
可由主句（作家在讀者中如此受歡迎）推論出為空格內(nèi)容應(yīng)為正評價(jià)，且與inanities（空洞，無意義）含義相反，因而正確答案為E。
參考譯文：
該作家在讀者中如此受歡迎，甚至連他的空洞之言都被認(rèn)為是一針見血的。

參考譯文：
傳記作家對于其題材強(qiáng)烈的情感投入并不妨礙客觀，因?yàn)槿橥度肽軒砩羁痰闹R(shí)，而此等知識(shí)對于真正客觀的判斷終是必需的。
