No other contemporary poet’s work has such a well-earned reputation for , and there are few whose moral vision is so imperiously unsparing. Of late, however, the almost belligerent demands of his severe and densely forbidding poetry have taken an improbable turn. This new collection is the poet’s fourth book in six years - an ample output even for poets of sunny disposition, let alone for one of such over the previous years. Yet for all his newfound , his poetry is as thorny as ever.

(A)Patent accessibility

(B)Intrinsic frivolity

(C)Near impenetrability

(D)Penitential austerity

(E)Intractable prolixity

(F)Impetuous prodigality

(G)Taciturnity

(H)Volubility

(I)Pellucidity

Answer: C D H

And引导前后两句是同义解释，第空与imperiously unsparing同义。however引导前后两句是对立，之前是his severe and densely forbidding poetry，之后是have taken an improbable turn，也可看出第空与severe and densely forbidding同义。Let alone引导前后的对立，第空与sunny disposition反义，sunny是阳光的、爱说话的，那么第空就是不阳光的、不爱说话的。All his newfound与new collection同义，第空与ample同义;由于yet引导对立，也与之前的第空“不阳光的、不爱说话的”反义。总之，通篇表达：之前他是沉默寡言的，近来变得健谈，但是没有改变的是他文字的尖刻。

Imperious爱发号施令的;傲慢专横的;迫切的。Unsparing不宽恕的、不留情的。Belligerent好战的。Patent显而易见的、专利。Impenetrable不可理解的、不可穿透的。Well-earned名至实归的。Let alone更别提、更不用说。

Patent accessibility显而易见的易获得性(明白易读)，intrinsic frivolity固有的轻浮，near impenetrability几乎难以理解，penitential austerity忏悔的简朴，intractable prolixity不受控的啰嗦，impetuous prodigality猛烈的浪费，taciturnity沉默，volubility健谈，pellucidity清楚、明晰。

翻译：没有其他任何当代诗人的作品因为严谨而拥有这样的美名，同时也很少有诗人像他这样拥有一种不变的道德观。然而对于后者而言，来自他那些严苛的诗歌中那几乎可以说得上是专断的说法现在竟然难以置信地发生了转变。这个诗人最新的诗集是他在年以来的第四部，而这对于一个开朗健谈的诗人来说都是很高产的了，更不用提向他这样在过去年里一直惜字如金的诗人了。然而尽管他现在似乎比以前来说不是那么惜字如金了，但是他文字中流露出来的尖刻依旧存在。

Managers who think that strong environmental performance will their company’s financial performance often claims that systems designed to help them manage environmental concerns are valuable tools. By contrast, managers who perceive environmental performance to be to financial success may view an environmental management system as extraneous. In either situation, and whatever their perceptions, it is a manager’s commitment to achieving environmental improvement rather than the mere presence of a system that determines environmental performance.

(A)Eclipse

(B)Bolster

(C)Degrade

(D)Uncritically accept

(E)Appropriately acknowledge

(F)Hotly dispute

(G)Complementary

(H)Intrinsic

(I)Peripheral

Answer: B D I

By contrast引导前后两种manager的对立，后一种manager由于认为view an environmental management system a s extraneous以及mere presence of a system，所以第空与其同义。第空由于by contrast的存在，前一种manager“支持”。第空填正评价词汇。

Eclipse日食、遮蔽使失色，bolster支持、促进，degrade降低，uncritically accept毫无保留地接受，appropriately acknowledge适当地承认(也许之前有异议，所以不可选此项)，hotly dispute激烈争论，complementary补充的，intrinsic内在的、本质的，peripheral辅助的、次要的。

翻译：认为有效的环保措施能够加强其公司财务表现能力的经理们通常会毫无保留地接受这样一种概念，就是被设计来帮助控制环境问题的系统都是有效的工具。相比而言，与之持相反观点的经理们认为环境控制系统是多余的。不过不论是在哪种情境下，以及不论经理们持有的是哪种观点，一个经理人有义务在其经营活动中实现环境保护，而不是仅仅停留在认为一个环境保护机制是否有效的层面上。

Philosophy, unlike most other subjects, does not try to extend our knowledge by discovering new information about the world. Instead it tries to deepen our understanding through what is already closest to us—the experiences, thoughts, concepts, and activities that make up our lives but that ordinarily escape our notice precisely because they are so familiar. Philosophy begins by finding the things that are .

(A)Attainment of

(B)Rumination on

(C)Detachment from

(D)Essentially irrelevant

(E)Utterly mysterious

(F)Thoroughly commonplace

(G)Most prosaic

(H)Somewhat hackneyed

(I)Refreshingly novel

Answer: B E G

Instead引导前后对立，第空与discover new information反义。第空与familiar同义。第空与ordinarily反义。

Attainment获得，rumination反刍、冥想，detachment分离，essentially irrelevant本质上不相关的，utterly mysterious完全神秘的，thoroughly commonplace完全平庸的，most prosaic最平淡的，somewhat hackneyed有些陈腐的，refreshingly novel令人耳目一新的新颖。

翻译：与其他绝大多数学科不同的是，哲学并不是通过发现与世界相关的新的信息来扩展我们的知识层面。取而代之的是哲学往往通过深入发掘那些在我们身边已经存在的事物-包括经验、思想、概念与活动等-那些构成我们生活却往往因为太过熟悉而被忽略的事物的内涵而加深我们对于不同东西的理解。可以说哲学的从一开始就在找寻那些蕴藏在最平庸事物之中的神秘之处。
