Q3. (S08_Q04-錯誤率81.58%)

Q5. (S02_Q05-錯誤率80.26%)
The award-winning novel is such -- tale that its very intricacy has a daunting effect on readers.
(A) a convoluted
(B) a culpable
(C) a succinct
(D) an enthralling
(E) a felicitous
ANSWER
Q1 這道填空題容易錯的原因在於contain, check都是熟詞僻意，都表示「抑制」的意思，類似的常考詞彙還有: assume, appropriate, flag, volatile, table, smart, sweep, list,champion, visit, negotiate, dupe, coin, sap等.
Q2. 讀完題幹之後，我們可以看出兩個空之間是同義詞關係，同時應該是vehement的反義詞，所以只能選擇E選項。這道題的錯誤率比較高，可能是因為單詞的原因。
Q3.offset by 被…抵消，所以應該選advance的反義詞，只有regressive（後退的）可以滿足。
Q4. 熟詞僻意，arrest抑制。
Q5. its暗示取同，所以應該選intricacy的同義詞，只能選A的convoluted。

Q6. (RT0805_S07_Q08-錯誤率85.28%)
The -- of impact craters on Venus suggests that erosion may have smoothed its surface over the past billion years.
(A) magnitude
(B) panoply
(C) spate
(D) ruggedness
(E) paucity
Q7. (RT0805_S07_Q07-錯誤率83.44%)
The crude animated effects -- projected images from seventeenth-century lantern slides have now been recognized as-- of modem film animation.
(A) complemented by .. antecedents
(B) forestalled by .. harbingers
(C) depicted in .. derivatives
(D) featured in .. replicas
(E) afforded by .. forerunners
ANSWER：
Q6：這道填空題錯誤比較多，更多的原因是對impact crater（撞擊坑）的不熟悉，或者對天文學知識的不熟悉，因為文後有「erosion may have smoothed its surface over the past billion years」就表明了撞擊坑是很少的，所以選擇paucity（低頻詞彙）
Q7：先從第二個空下手，只能選「先驅者」的同義詞，而第一個空裡面只能填afforded by，其他的選項都不適合。
* 以下2題來自2011年1月Section 3
Q8. (RT1101_S03_Q07-錯誤率87.76%)
The paucity of autobiographical documents left by the royal attendants has compelled historian Raul Salazar to - the motives of these courtiers from their- rather than from any diaries or correspondence.
(A) stipulate .. accomplishments
(B) contemplate .. journals
(C) surmise .. deeds
(D) allege .. assertions
(E) elicit .. missives
Q9. (RT1101_S03_Q08-錯誤率83.67%)
The painter lamented the evanescence of beauty, even though she seemed in several of her works to have - it as it passed and so - it for posterity.
(A) seized .. absolved
(B) vanquished .. perpetuated
(C) arrested .. preserved
(D) neglected .. established
(E) dispelled .. enshrined
ANSWER:
Q8：這道填空題主要難度在於文化差異以及對歷史學研究的認知，第一個空大家都可以得出應該填寫「推測」，所以stipulate, surmise, allege都是備選的單詞，但第二個單詞不太好選擇，assertion比較容易排除，但是accomplishment和deeds之間應該選哪個？關鍵是哪個單詞能夠在歷史學研究中和diary or correspondence構成對立，只有deeds比較適合，而accomplishment則相差太遠。
Q9：這是一道典型的填空題，很多同學之所以沒有做對，是因為arrest表示抑制。另外posterity表示「後代」的意思。

Q10. (RT1010_S07_Q02-錯誤率83.33%)
There was so much - in the recent senatorial campaign that voters tuned out, disgusted with the barrage of malicious accusations.
(A) incompetence
(B) lethargy
(C) obstinacy
(D) mudslinging
(E) grandstanding
ANSWER:
Q10：這道題的關鍵是單詞mudslinging這個低頻單詞，mudsling"揭發隱私"。
* 以下3題來自2008年1月Section 8
Q1. (S07_Q34-錯誤率82.24%)
Which of the following is the best version of the underlined portion of sentence 8 (reproduced below)?
Almost all drugs go through strict testing before approval and failing at least once.
(A) (as it is now)
(B) approval, failing
(C) approval; failure occurring
(D) approval; they failed
(E) approval but they have failed
Q2. (S07_Q26-錯誤率80.92%)
(A) For any mayor of a vast metropolitan area, an (B) understanding of current issues in all districts (C) is not only (D) desirous but also vital. (E) No error
Q3. (S07_Q35-錯誤率80.92%)
Which of the following is the best version of the underlined portion of sentence14 (reproduced below)?
A scientist who finds that a hypothesis is false can then try to develop a new one based on the information obtained.
(A) (As it is now)
(B) A scientist, finding a hypothesis is false, can have tried to develop
(C) Finding a hypothesis as false, a scientist would try to develop
(D) A false hypothesis can have a scientist now try to develop
(E) Hypotheses that are false can teach a scientist; they develop
ANSWER:
Q1: 這道語法題主要是很多同學不敢選B，認為B選項的failing表示同時發生，而根據邏輯語義又無法同時發生，所以failing是錯誤的，這裡的failing表示的是伴隨的一種狀況。A選項有語法錯誤，C選項分號後應該是完整的句子，D選項和E選項的時態錯誤。
Q2: 這道題考察desirable和desirous的區別：desirous表示「渴望的」，其後加of，主語一般是人，表示某人對事物的渴望；desirable表示「值得得到的」，主語一般是物，或某件事。通過題意我們可以看出這裡應該是desirable。
Q3: B. can have tried錯誤；C. would try to錯誤；D. a false hypothesis做主語改變句子的邏輯意思，同時havesb do sth這個結構錯誤；E的they代表hypotheses，顯然跟原文的意思相違背。

Q4. (Q29-錯誤率85.89%)
Quincy took Dan to Derek's home (A) for a visit, (B) never imagining that five years (C) would pass before (D) seeing Derek again. (E) No error
ANSWER:
Q4：這道題目考察的是meet和see用法區別，meet強調動作本身，而see強調動作的結果，這道題的題意上更多的是強調動作的過程（meet，遇見），而不是強調結果本身（see，看到）
* 以下3題來自2005年10月Section 10
Q5. (RT0510_S06_Q11-W)
Intimacy, love, and marriage are three different, if interrelated, subjects.
(A) different, if interrelated, subjects
(B) interrelated subjects, being, however, different
(C) different subjects, whereas they are interrelated
(D) different subjects when interrelated
(E) subjects that are different although being interrelated
Q6. (RT0510_S06_Q10-W)
When for the first time the United States imported more oil than it exported, Americans should have realized that an energy crisis was imminent and couldhappen in the future.
(A) was imminent and could happen in the future
(B) could happen imminently in the future
(C) will be imminent and happening soon
(D) is an imminent thing
(E) might be imminent
Q7. (RT0510_S06_Q29-W)
The cost of (A) safely disposing of the toxic chemicals (B) is approximately (C) five times what the company paid (D) to purchase it. (E) No error
ANSWER:
Q5：這道題考察語法改錯的一個原則，即不能改變句子原來的邏輯語義，原文的if和容易錯選的C選項的邏輯語義是完全不同的，所以C是不正確的；其他選項都有語法錯誤。
Q6：考察語法常見的重複：imminent與happen in the future是重複的，類似的考點還有: discovery& find; annual & every year; continue & go on等，最好不要在同一個句子中出現。
Q7：典型的語法錯誤--代詞使用：這裡面的代詞指的是toxic chemicals，所以應該是them。

Q8. (RT0510_S05_Q20-M)
If j. k, and n are consecutive integers such that 0 < j < k < n and the units(ones) digit of the product jn is 9,what is the units digit of k?
(A) 0
(B) 1
(C) 2
(D) 3
(E) 4
ANSWER:
Q8：利用窮舉與試錯的方法一個個實驗，consecutive暗示了j與n之間相差1，我們計算1*3,2*4,3*5,4*6,5*7,6*8,7*9,8*0,9*1之後發現只有9*1才滿足題目條件要求，所以k的個位(units digit)應該是0。

Q9. (RT0710_S05_Q25-W)
At a time (A) when interest in twentieth-century classical music (B) seems on the verge (C) to disappear, the avant-garde compositions of the 1960s and 1970s (D) manage to retain their popularity. (E) No error (RT0710_S05_Q25-W)
(1) The decade after 1937 saw considerable growth in the African American press in the United States.(2) Traditionally, African American newspapers had been distributed only through the mail and at newsstands in a few large cities. (3) However, in 1938 LeRoy Brannic founded a newspaper distributorship, the Great Eastern News Corporation, in New York City, without lets in cities throughout the country. (4) It was controlled and operated entirely by African Americans. (5) Brannic's company put African American newspapers into wide circulation across the country. (6) Though viewed as a modem means of mass communication, newspapers in fact date back to ancient Rome.
(7) Increased circulation brought more income with which African American publishers could improve production. (8) The Scott Syndicate in Atlanta, Georgia, was mass-producing 32 different newspapers by the mid-1940s.(9) Syndication offered the advantages of shared news, features, and printing, each paper still maintaining contact with its local community through a small staff employed there.
(10) Salaries rose, and while the older, self-made men retained ownership of the newspapers. (11) College-educated reporters began to join newspaper staffs.
(12) Coverage expanded. (13) Some of the more successful papers could support their own foreign correspondents. (14)Increased use of photography in the newspapers, made possible by the purchase of expensive printing equipment, meant more work and better salaries for African American photographers.
Q10. (RT0710_S05_Q34-W)
In context, what is the best way to deal with sentence 10 (reproduced below)?Salaries rose, and while the older, self-made men retained ownership of the newspapers.
(A) Insert the word "had" immediately before" retained".
(B) Connect it to sentence 11 with a comma, changing "newspapers. College-educated" to" newspapers, college-educated".
(C) Switch it with sentence 11.
(D) Place it immediately before sentence 7.
(E) Change "while" to" yet".
Q11. (RT0710_S10_Q14-W)The first emperor of Rome was Augustus, and many people think that it was Julius Caesar.
(A) and many people think that it was
(B) many people thinking
(C) not, as many people think,
(D) not what many people are thinking,
(E) but many people think it to be
Q12. (RT0710_S05_Q31-W)
In context, which of the following is the best revision of the underlined portion of sentences 4 and 5 (reproduced below)?It was controlled and operated entirely by African Americans. Brannic's company put African American newspapers into wide circulation across the country.
(A) It was controlled and operated entirely by African Americans, and Brannic's company
(B) It was controlled and operated entirely by African Americans, though Brannic's company
(C) Being controlled and operated entirely by African Americans, it was Brannic's company that
(D) Controlled and operated entirely by African Americans, Brannic's company
(E) Brannic's company, which was controlled and operated entirely by African Americans, has
ANSWER:
Q9：固定搭配"on the verge of doing sth."
Q10：這道題目非常有意思，很多同學都可以一眼看到and和while兩個連詞放在一個句子中，顯然是錯誤的，所以想當然的選E，尤其是在時間非常緊張的情況下，特別容易錯選；E選項只能改變句子的「語法錯誤」，而無法消除句子的「文法錯誤」，即語義邏輯有問題，顯然salary rose和後面的retain ownership之間無法構成轉折的關係，所以只有B才能夠修改語法錯誤，同時也能夠修改其文法錯誤。
Q11：as many people think/assume是插入語，在OC題上也考察了很多次。
Q12：讀完這個句子後，我們可以判斷這兩個句子最好合併成一句話，對於A和B都不對，因為即沒有and所引起的並列邏輯，也沒有though引起的轉折邏輯。同時C的being冗餘，而且E的has的時態錯誤，所以最終選擇D。

* 以下4題來自2008年1月Section 8
Q1. (Section 8-Q12 錯誤率91.45%)
The "European translators" might argue that those guilty of the "crime" (line40) are likely to
(A) force ancient ideas into a modern mold
(B) encourage literary accomplishment while neglecting traditional scholarship
(C) insist that ancient poems be read only in their original language
(D) treat authors with excessive reverence
(E) pursue commercial success rather than artistic excellence
Q2. (S8-Q19 錯誤率86.18%)
Both Arnold (Passage 1) and Pound (Passage 2) assume that a good translation captures the
(A) distinctive nature of the original poem
(B) poet's thoughts about the creative process
(C) values and ideals of the poet's era
(D) sound and rhythm of the original language
(E) subtleties of the poet's reasoning
Q3. (S8-Q13 錯誤率86.18%)
For which of the following qualities would the "European translators" (line 40) most likely praise Pound's version of "The Seafarer" (Passage 2)?
(A) Its skillful display of the beauties of modern English
(B) Its sensitive demonstration of the original poet's genius
(C) Its faithful reproduction of Anglo-Saxon sounds
(D) Its subtle presentation of human emotions
(E) Its imaginative interpretation of individual words
Q4. (S8-Q15 錯誤率85.53%)
The author of Passage 2 suggests that the "wrath" (line 66) of the scholars was
(A) irrational, because it ignored Pound's good intentions
(B) meaningless, because the scholars were not translators
(C) inevitable, because Pound's method had attracted considerable attention
(D) genuine, because the scholars felt personally insulted
(E) understandable, because Pound's claim could be disputed
Answer:
Q1. S題，一定要回上下文，回原文我們會找到" in fact, many of us accept only literal translations because we want to give the original authors their due. ",進行預判，答案為"give the original authors their due"的paraphrase，採用POE（排除法）對選項進行排除.考生應該熟悉這個短語"givesb his due"表示「給予某人應有的評價」，only的限定表示many of us認為只有通過照字面翻譯才可以給予詩歌的作者公正的評價，only的出現也限定了其他的方式是不可以的，所以容易判斷出D選項的excessive reverence正確的，表示過於尊重作者，因為many of us甚至認為一定要看字面的翻譯來給出這些人公正的評價。
Q2. 這道題難在能否把所有的關係理清楚，特別是第一篇文章有Newman, Arnold, we, European translators, the author 1等；第二篇文章有Pound，the author 2等，所以可以列出一個表格來，然後把不同人到底是支持literal translation還是impression translation進行區分，同時對他們的原因進行總結和分析。
Q3. 這道題難點同上，我們要學會列表格，然後把不同人到底是支持literal translation還是impression translation進行區分，同時對他們的原因進行總結和分析。這樣這篇文章對應的所有的題型就比較容易解決。
Q4. 這道題是經典的交叉類型的題目，問P2對wrath是什麼樣的看法，這道題很多同學做錯的關鍵是沒有回原文往下看，能看到line 68的「Obviously it is not」，如果能看到的話就可以發現應該選擇一個positive的選項，所以只能從D和E選擇，E更切合原文。做錯的原因主要有些同學沒有回原文，而是從全文出發，認為作者是支持pound的，所以就選擇了A。

Q7. The experience described in Passage 2 most directly suggests that the statement about the "danger" (line 9Passage 1) (S04_Q11-錯誤率80.92%)
(A) accurately assesses the strength of a common human impulse
(B) needlessly exaggerates the risks a person faces among wild chimpanzees
(C) appropriately warns professionals about the necessity of keeping their research current
(D) discourages overly optimistic observers from expecting to make new discoveries
(E) fails to consider the consequences of a flawed research methodology
ANSWER：
Q5：這道題有些同學做錯，主要是在思考問題的時候沒有嚴格的從文章的上下文出發（+5原則），而是孤立的從39-43行出發。如果看到下文他們容易辨識，那麼會選C，而如果沒有注意到這個層面則容易錯選為E。
Q6：這種題目是一種比較特殊的題目，即雖然說是一個sentence level的題目，但是的答案需要把lines 10-40看完才會得到準確的答案。
Q7：這道交叉題的主要錯誤在於你要選一個選項能夠跟Passage1相符合，通過第二篇文章我們確實可以看到人們在觀察黑猩猩的時候確實會特別容易從自己的感情出發而不會非常理智的、中性的對待自己的觀察結果，所以danger這個單詞比較準確的評價人們都會有的一種衝動。

(A) supported
(B) transmitted
(C) extended
(D) expressed
(E) bore
ANSWER:
Q 8：D的base本身表示「卑鄙的」意思，比如abase這個單詞。We are humiliated by what is powerful and ____ but awed by what is powerful and noble. 通過填空題做題思路，but的轉折作用可以看出這個空格裡應該填noble的反義詞，同時考慮到mean本身表示「低賤的」這個意思，所以應該選擇「低賤的」這個釋義。只能選擇base.
詞彙題解題思路：
第一步先看一下能否用「上下文邏輯」處理問題，所謂行下文邏輯，即通過類似於填空題的著眼去全句意思的完整性的基礎上，通過取同取反來做題，一般這樣的題目難度比較低；
第二步，如果第一步無法準確的排除四個選項從而得到答案，那麼我們需要進行第二步的運算，即要顧及到被劃線的單詞本身，包括它的意思，它的屬性（是表示結果，還是表示過程?是程度深還是淺？是表示抽象事物還是表示具體事務？）
Q9：E選項的bear，本身有表示「攜帶，含有」的意思
