1.【正确答案】B
【中文释义】
据称，科学家们会避免作出欺骗性的实验结果的宣告，因为存在这种可能，当其他的研究者们不能复制他的实验结果时，他们就会被揭露出来。
【解题分析】 这一句的基本含义在No.8第三套section 1的第三题就有过重复，在92年的考卷中也重复了。科学家们replicate或是duplicate相互的实验结果就是为了检验结果的真伪，原句中的 be exposed显然是由cannot duplicate their findings所导致的。

通过户挨户地居住在一块未分开的土地上，核心家庭被包含在了一个更大的亲戚群当中，这就使得共同相处及与亲戚处理好关系的压力非常强大。
【解题分析】 第二个空格处于and的小连接当中，and之后表示与别人共处，所以and前同样应有这方面的含义。五个选项中能表示出与别人处好关系的词只有一个答案C。

3.【正确答案】B
【中文释义】
和吸气所需要的大量肌肉活动相比，呼气通常是一个消极被动的过程。
【解题分析】前后对立面转折，所以下文的呼气应该不需要肌肉的活动，强调了不需要自身肌肉参与的形容词为B，尽管有人感觉A也可以，但实际上，如果下文要强调呼气是个缓慢的过程，则和下文相对比的应该是大量肌肉活动就造成了吸气很快，而上文强调的是肌肉的参与，所以下文应对称地强调肌肉不参与。这样答案只有可能是B。

【中文释义】
关于高中生活的纪录片是如此的真实和勾人心弦，以至于怀旧的情绪淹没了大学年龄的观众。
【解题分析】 so…that…结构的结果是大学年龄的观众被激发出了怀旧的情绪，所以可得答案C，答案B的pitiful的含义是“令人同情的”，如果选B，那么结果就应该是产生同情心，而原文中是产生了怀旧的情绪，所以B并不正确。

【中文释义】
尽管乔治·奥凯夫以他对沙漠风光的熟悉最为有名，但他的城市主题作品证实了他长期居住在纽约。
【解题分析】 前后转折，上句是对沙漠的熟悉，所以下句应该肯定他在纽约的居住，这样就构成了“尽管住在大都市，却对沙漠风光很熟悉”这样的转折句。

很多精神治疗医生不能利用最前沿的研究结果，这可能应归因于这些发现结果过于专业化的性质
即使是重要的发现结果也可能是没有用的。
【解题分析】 冒号后表示重复，冒号后表达出这些结果没有用，而第一个空格要求填上治疗医生对这些结果没有做什么动作，事实上这些结果没有用当然就是指这些结果没有被治疗专家们要上，所以第一空格直接填使用就可以了。

1.【正确答案】E
【中文释义】在十九世纪,小说家和没有同情心的旅行者将美国西部描绘成一块永远多灾多难的土地,而开发商和理想主义者们却创造出了极为吸引人的具有无穷无尽希望的土地的形象。
【解题分析】上下句分别是两种截然不同的人，所以尽管whereas不能表达对立面转折，但这两种相反的人都显然提示我们应挑选反义词，下句支持美国西部，认为其是一个充满无穷希望的土地，所以上句应为一个对等的反义词，即无穷灾难的土地。所以正确答案选E。

【中文释义】蜜蜂比土蜂更有群居性：和后者不一样的是，前者一起寻找食物并且将它们个人的发现发信号给另外一个蜜蜂。

3.【正确答案】A
【中文释义】 乔以完全相同的力度谈及肤浅琐碎和生死攸关的事件，好象对他而言严重的问题和琐碎的问题没有什么区别。
【解题分析】请注意这一句的比较结构。上句用to the same degree 来表示同级比较，下句用mattered neither more or less than 来表示同级比较，所以就表现出了两套比较结构这种基本题型。此时比较双方不应发生变化，故第一个空格应填下文出现过的serious issues，第二个空格应填上文的superfluous。
【重点词条】 superficiality 1: the quality or state of being superficial 2: something superficial
humdrum monotonous, dull —— humdrum n
4.【正确答案】B
【中文释义】戴维斯的社会学研究的价值被地毫无顾忌地挑选材料的做法破坏了，他之所以这样做是为了证实自己的观点，同时忽略那些指向别的结论的事实。
【解题分析】while的前后为对比关系，通常我们又会主动地在while前后找反义词，这样就可以将不明确的对比关系进一步深化为对立面转折关系，此句的 while前后出现了一组反义词，his own claims和other possible conclusions。所以解题思路顿时就明快了，while 之前是use了那些支持his own claims 的材料，那么while之后就应该不使用那些支持other possible conclusions 的材料，所以第二个空格应与use反义，可得答案B。
