【解题分析】many Russian composers和other composers构成对比，故上句为 contributed to emerging national style 简单理解为“支持新事物”，而下句为idiomatic Russian musical elements 简单理解为"传统的老的事物“，与上句对比，可以选c,d。第二空格是分隔结构，重复前文的”不反对老事物“，又由于它的宾语是”traditional musical vocabulary"故应该填“支持老事物”以重复前文，答案选d。请注意原文中的emerging ,idiomatic,traditimal的三次转换。

2．【中文释义】因为画家阿尔伯特.皮郝姆.雷达沉浸在他对完美的追求中，所以他很少对一幅画满意，总是在同一张帆布上创作出同一个场景的无休无止的不同表达，一个覆盖着另外一个。

3.【中文释义】客观公正的标准可以起到对医生的保护伞的作用，为他们提供当遭受不公正的误诊控告时的保护措施。
【解题分析】providing是分隔结构，重复前文它的逻辑主语是objectively set standards 故可以理解为“客观的衡量标准为医生提供了一个”。请注意空格动词的宾语是unjustified malpractice.正好出现了“unjustified”这个objective的反义词。故问题迎刃而解，客观公正的标准当然反对不公正的指控，故选e。

4．【中文释义】尽管报纸的评论无精打采，这次戏剧演出却被热情的观众们从被人遗忘中拯救出来，这些观众的洞察力总是强于那些评论家。
【解题分析】第二个空格的by 短语是一个常见的解题点，热情的听众永远热情，当然不会淡忘这部分作品，故可选a,c,e。后半句的比较结构实际上就在提示着评论家和观众是对立的，所以第一空格填评论家们的态度，当然应该填不好的态度，c正确。

7．【中文释义】在phaistos的Minoan 遗址所发现的独特的泥板通常被学者们举证为最早的印刷的例子，这些学者支持这泥板（第一块印刷品）的权利，尽管有很多同等的观点支持其它印刷的人工制品。
【解题分析】by的解题方法又一次出现，by 前要填学者的动作，而by后告诉这个动作"defened its claim to this status"。its指代的是clay disk, claim的意思是“特性”, this status 指上文的"as the earliest example", 故下句明确说明学者们defend即支持clay disk 具有这种特征。所以上句仍应为学者们认可支持这种看法。事实上despite之后说得更明确，转折之后支持other printing artifacts, 所以上文的学者当然是支持上文的clay disk为earliest example.正确答案为c。
