  A. mercurial
  B. blithe
  C. phlegmatic
  D. apathetic
  E. cunning
  正确答案：A
  题目解析：孩子们多变的本性与他们父母镇定的性格形成鲜明的对比。本题中sharp contrast 表示前后形容词反义。比较起来，A与even-tempered是更为直接的反义词。因此选A。
  even-tempered ：性情平和，沉稳;mercurial：指人反复无常; blithe：愉快欢乐的; phlegmatic：冷静冷漠迟钝的; apathetic：无感情的冷漠的;cunning：狡猾可爱巧妙的，
  2. With the rate of technological (i) _____ accelerating—many people now consider a personal computer (ii) _____ after three years—the question of how to properly dispose of old equipment is no small matter.
  Blank (i) Blank (ii)
  A. affordability D. outdated
  B. complexity E. familiar
  C. obsolescence F. inestimable
  正确答案：C D
  题目解析：这题的意思是当科技过时加速时候，现在很多人都觉得电脑用三年就过时了----对于如何处置旧的装置已经不是个小问题了。破折号是进一步解释前面的意思。题目意思看懂了后就能很快选出2个相近的意思的选项，即是CD.
  3. Bureaucrats tend to (i) _____ . So it is surprising that the European Commission is proposing to hand back some of its antitrust powers to national governments. Such a willingness to (ii) _____ power is quite (iii) _____ . Perhaps the commission, so often a byword for meddling, bungling, and even corruption, is starting to put its house in order following the forced resignation of the previous lot of commissioners last year.
  Blank (i) Blank (ii) Blank (iii)
  A. value complex procedures D. devolve G. troubling
  B. guard their authority jealously E. misuse H. encouraging
  C. shirk many of their responsibilities F. appropriate I. predictable
  正确答案：B D H
  题目解析：官僚都是喜欢抓牢权利的。因此欧盟委员会想要把部分权利归还政府的做法令人吃惊。如此移交权利的意愿相当鼓舞人心。首先第一空从tend to和后面的surprising，可以看出填入的内容应该是和proposing to hand back some of its antitrust powers to national governments相反的，所以选B。第二空可以根据such来判断，应该填入与hand back power意思相同相近的内容，因此选D。第三空可根据后面句子的意思应该填入一个表示正面积极意思的词汇，因此选H。
  4. Despite her relaxed and flexible style, Ms. de la Fressange is _____ businesswoman who knows how to market her brand: herself.
  A. a ruthless
  B. a creative
  C. a canny
  D. an industrious
  E. a shrewd
  F. an effective
  正确答案：C E
  题目解析：尽管de la Fressange女士有着懒散的作风，但她依旧是一个懂得如何包装自己的“精明”商务女性。本题重点在于Despite提供的转折，前面提到了慵懒的作风，后边就应该强调其“精明能干”。选取此类词汇，即canny和shrewd
  ruthless 残忍的 无情的;canny 谨慎的;industrious 勤奋的;shrewd 机灵的;effective 有效的
  5. A recent study suggests that vitamin E supplements, despite widespread belief in their _____, are no better than sugar pills for delaying the onset of the degenerative disease.
  A. potential
  B. misuse
  C. popularity
  D. efficacy
  E. prevalence
  F. usefulness
  正确答案：D F
  题目解析：一个近期的研究发现维生素E，排除其广为流传的有效性看法，并不比糖片在延缓衰老性疾病上更有效。本题重点在despite一词上，后面说的是no better，那么空格中就应该填入意思相反的词，也就是有用有效意思的词汇，符合这一要求的是DF组合。
  6. Parkin’s characterization of the movement as Neo-Scholastic is too _____ to be accepted without further investigation.
  A. cursory
  B. detailed
  C. perfunctory
  D. biased
  E. self-evident
  F. complete
  正确答案：A C
  题目解析：too..to的意思是太。。。而不能够。。，后面是to be accepted without further investigation,可知意思是“没有更多的调查而不能够被接受”，所以前面要填负面词汇。cursory/perfunctory是草率的意思。正解。注意self-evident是不证自明的。
