3. In these mountains, the ------ stature of plants testifies to the inhibiting influence of ------, often buffeting, winds.
A. small .. constant
B. diminutive .. imperceptible
C. typical .. moderate
D. considerable .. intermittent
E. giant .. destructive
解析:A testifies to B的结构中A为B的结果,所以第一空是 inhibiting influence“抑制性的影响”的结果,所以第一空只有small 和 diminutive“小的”可选,第二空是对winds的修饰且能够导致inhibiting influence, 所以只能选择A选项constant“恒定不变的”,不停地有buffeting“猛烈的”风在吹,使植物长不大。
4. Some of the guests were positively ------, speaking disrespectfully to their host and generally exhibiting deplorable manners.
A. bemused
B. cursory
C. forlorn
D. incoherent
E. uncouth
解析:
空格对应disrespectfully“不敬地”和deplorable“应受责备的”,所以应填一个表示行为举止方面的负向评价,因此选E选项uncouth“粗鲁的”。
词汇扩充:
粗鲁的,无礼的:boorish, churlish, impudent, insolent, rude
