2.题意:驯化的大象与野生大象在包括性情等许多方面都有所不同。本题为形容词词义辨析题。从句意可知,“_____ elephants”与wild elephants 野生大象相对照,故空格处应填入“驯养的”一词。A civil 公民的, 民间的,民事的,例如:civil duties公民义务;the civil branches of government政府的民政部门;B tame驯养的,顺从的, 被开垦的, 例如: a tame monkey经过驯养的猴子; C cultivated耕耘的, 有教养的, 种植的, 例如:cultivated land耕地,a cultivated person有教养的人;D regulated 调节的,调整的。
3.题意:尼亚加拉瀑布是一个旅游胜地,每年吸引了成千上万的旅游者。attention 注意,注意力; attraction 吸引,吸引力,吸引人的事物;appointment 约会,指定;arrangement 排列,安排。

5.题意:由于种种原因,他的论文不能如期完成,这些原因都是真实的。various 好些、多个不同的;different 指跟上次、原来的不同;sort of有几分,是副词性;D后接of也可以选。
6.题意:人们普遍认为散装运输对货物不利。communication传播,交流,指信息和思想的交流;sending用在此处不对;transport运输,还可说shipment in bulk;traffic交通,指街道上的交通。
7.题意:我们的旅行很慢,因为火车频繁地在不同的村庄停车。unceasingly 继续地,不断地,持续地;gradually 逐渐地;continuously 连续地,不断地;continually 不断地,频繁地。
8.题意:通过和平手段获得统一是我们一贯的政策。consistent 一致的,一贯的,始终如一的;continuous 连续的,持续的;considerate 考虑周到的;continual 连续的,频繁的。从句意上分析,C显然不合适。B、D都表示连续之意,但continuous强调连续不间断,而continual则强调隔一段时间重复一次,后者与句意不合,continuous和consistent都有持续不断的意思,但consistent更强调自始至终的坚持,有主动意味,符合句意。
9.transmit 传送,传递,它最符合题意。题干的意思是“通讯是通过某种渠道将信息从源处传送到听众的过程”。因此,transmitting 为正确答案。submit 提交,呈送;transform 改变,转变;switch 改变,转移。
10.题意:你看到的足球赛是在纽约的现场直播。live“现场直播的,现场演出的;以现场直播(或表演)方式”,有“现场直播的”之意,故选A;lively“充满活力的,活泼的, 轻快的;热烈的,令人激动的,逼真的,栩栩如生的”;living“活(着)的,生活的;有生命的,生动活泼的;在使用中的,现行的;生动的,逼真的”。live表示“活的,有生命的”之意时只作定语,而alive作表语。
