16. In line 3, regular most nearly means
customary
agreeable
unvarying
recurring
average
阅读原文regular 所在的1-4 行New York was darker than I expected, and, in spite of the cleansing rain, dirtier. Used to the sensual curves of Puerto Rico, my eyes had to adjust to the regular, aggressive two dimensionality of Brooklyn.可以感觉到,作者在第一句描写纽约时所用的形容词darker 和dirtier 都体现了负面的态度,而第二句中had to adjust 更是表示了不情愿改变的心态,因此其宾语的修饰语应该是比较负面消极的词汇。浏览5 个选项可知,C 项unvarying 有明显的负面倾向,所以是正确答案。当然,这道题也可以用转折关系来选择答案,即the sensual curves of Puerto Rico 与the regular, aggressive two dimensionality of Brooklyn 语义相反,所以选择curves的反面意思unvarying 即可。
四、综合选择法
除了用上述单个方法解决词汇题之外,有时候考生还要学会灵活运用几种方法来甄选出正确答案。以2010 年5 月SECTION 8 第12 题为例,该题考查 want 一词的具体含义,原题如下:
12. In line 25, want most nearly means
poverty
desire
