词汇第三讲作业答案
（一）
1．A。画线词break有多种含义，但因它的宾语是record（记录）， 所以其语义是"打破"。 而 beat的基本含义是"打，胜过"。
2．A。画线词settle有多种含义，但因它的宾语是dispute（争夺）， 所以其语义是"解决"。 而 solve的基本含义是"解决"， 所以solve是答案。备选答案中 Untie = un + tie（系），un是否定前缀。
3．A。画线词account for有多种含义，但因它的宾语是your absence（你的缺席）， 所以其语义是"解释"。 而 explain的基本含义是"解释"， 所以explain是答案。备选答案中，excuse是及物动词（后面必须跟宾语），所以在这里不合适。
4．B。画线词limited的含义是"有限的"，而四个备选答案均是常见词汇，且前三个语义相近，都有"小的"的含义（low是"低的"）。所以这道题是考辨词。因small修饰可数名词，little修饰不可数名词， 而tiny 的语义是"微小的"，一般指体积。看原题干：limited后是number， 而number是可数名词，所以答案是B。
5．C。画线词widen含义较单一，是"加宽"，且widen = wide + (e)n （en加在部分形容词后构成"使。。变得更。。"之意）。而备选答案中broaden 也是由此法构成：broaden = broad + en ，所以可先观察该词， 而 broaden的基本含义是"加宽"。
6．C。画线词gain有多种含义，但因它的宾语是weight（重量）， 所以其语义是"增加"。 而四个备选答案均与put 有关，对于这种情况可利用动词后所跟的副词/介词的基本含义推测出该短语的大意。 off的基本含义是"离开"， down是"向下"， on是"在。。之上，靠近"， up是"向上（方向）" 。所以推测 put on 是答案。而put off是"延期"； put down是"记下"； put up是"举起"； put on是"增加"。
7．B。画线词convert含义较单一，是"转换"，因它的宾语是money（钱）， 所以其语义是"换"。 而 change的基本含义是"换"， 所以change是答案。
8．C。画线词foster有多种含义，在foster众多的词义中包含了cultivate的含义，所以答案是cultivate。
9．A。画线词regret主要语义是"为。。致歉"。 而 sorry的基本含义是"为。。致歉"， 所以sorry是答案。
10．A。画线词contend含义较单一，语义是"争辩说"。 而 argue的基本含义是"争辩说"， 所以argue是答案。
11．答案提示：答案是B。这道题的画线词不是常见词汇，借助字典可知画线词deduce的含义是"推论（出）"，但四个备选答案都是常见词汇，其中，allow是"允许"；derive是"推出"， permit和come也都是常见词， 分别是"允许"和"来"。
12．B。画线词wholesome的含义也可从原句的语义推测出：其宾语是apples and oranges（苹果和橘子），且后句说"可以在任何时间吃"，所以wholesome的语义是褒义的。 而 appropriate 和proper是近义词，是"合适的"，所以相互排除。Normal是"正常的"， healthy是"健康的"， 比较来看，healthy是答案。
13．D。画线词outcome含义单一，是"结果"。 而 result的基本含义是"结果"， 所以result是答案。
14．C。观察四个备选答案：B的拼写形式与画线词相似（而这往往不是答案），所以先排除该词。A，C和D都属常见词汇，语义分别为"（注意力）集中"，"集中"和"分散"。而原句中的主语是fans（音乐迷），所以gather是答案。
15．C。画线词remove有多种含义，但因它的宾语是overcoat（外套大衣）， 所以其语义是"脱下"。 而备选答案都是常见的短语，其中： take off 是"脱掉"，leave aside是"搁置"， take away 是"剥夺"，wash off是"把。。洗掉"。所以take off 是答案。 （二）
1．D．annoying不常见，但其含义可从句义推出：该句说"大的噪音怎样，怎样"，可推测annoying是"讨厌的"这类含义，备选答案都是常见词，其中 irritating是"气人的"。
2．C．deliberately是 intentionally 的同义词，是"故意地"。
3．A．vague是"模糊?quot;，而备选答案中： imprecise = im + precise（准确的）; unpolished = un + polished （擦亮的）; elementary = element（成分） + ary（加在部分名词后构成形容词的后缀）。
4．A．summit 是"山顶"。
5．A．census 是"人口普查"，不常见。Count （计算）的词义与其最相近。
6．C．duplicate 不常见，是"复制"，是常见词copy的近义词。
7．B．ban不常见，是常见词 forbid"禁止"的近义词。
8．A．lawful = law + ful，所以与law（法律）有关， legal是"法定的"。
9．D．mock不是常见词，但其含义可从原句的语义推出， 原句说"因为我丑，他们总是。。对我。" 。 备选答案中laugh at 是"嘲笑"， look down upon是"瞧不起"， belittle 是"轻视"，所以laugh at合适。
10．A．motive是"动机，原因"， reason是"原因"。
11．C．notably是"值得注意地，特别"， particularly 是"尤其，特别"。
12．B．omit是"疏忽，没有去做"， fail 是"没有能够"。
