1. B.分析：借助句意(20世纪70年代初期当Barbara Jordan在参议院里任职的时候，他就支持有关禁止种族歧视和解决环境问题的立法)判断答案B(禁止)。Forbid(forbade; forbidden) vt.禁止，不准，不许;Handle vt拿;处理;应付;控制; Ban vt./n.(法律上)禁止
2. C.分析：该题考察与虚拟语气相关的常见动词。 recommend是“推荐”; order是“命令”; insist是“坚持”; demand 是“要求”;suggest 是“建议”。只有suggest与recommend语义相近，所以答案为C。
3. B. 分析：借助与划线词直接相关的搭配结构含义(..情况)判断B(艰苦的)。sincere是“真诚的”; hard是“艰苦的”; strict是“严肃的”; tight是“紧的”。
4. C.分析：借助句意(这座房子在风中..如磐石)判断答案C(稳固的)。exceptional adj
特别的;异常的; continuous adj.连续的, 持续的
5. D。 分析：借助联想法。画线词shine与常见词汇sunshine(阳光)有关。又因shine 的宾语是鞋子，所以推测shine 的含义与“使鞋子光亮”有关。所以polish(擦亮)D是答案。另外：lighten是“to make or become light or brighter/减轻(负担); 缓和, 使轻松, 使愉快，(使能发光的东西)变亮”，而wash是(洗); clean是(使干净)。
6. B.分析：借助划线短语中的基本词汇含义猜测短语可能的含义为“为了钱和爱”。而这四个备选答案中只有答案B (at any price/以任何代价)在基本用词上(price)与划线短语一致，而且在句意上也合理。该句含义是“某些流行书籍的首印版是无论如何也很难得到的。”
7.A. 分析：该句含义是“昨天在那家商店里为我服务的是一位美丽的女服务员”。attend to v. 倾听,关心, 照顾; wait on v.服侍, 招待
8. D.分析：annoying adj.恼人的, 讨厌的; Horrifying vt令人感到恐怖的; painful adj.疼痛的, 使痛苦的; disturbing adj.烦扰的
9. A.分析：借助句意(这些是我们这样做的..)判断A最合适。Motive n动机;目的; Target n.目标, 对象; 笑柄(for); argument n.争论, 辩论, 论据, 论点, ～ (for ,against); pursuit n.
追逐，追寻
10. A. 分析：该句含义是“她的话伤了我的感情。”结构“make + adj.”的含义是“使..怎样”。
11. C. 分析：根据句意(这个例证是论据中的一个主要例证)判断C(主要的)合适。fundamental
adj.基础的, 基本的; impressive adj.给人深刻印象的; public n.公众adj.公众的, 公共的;slight adj.轻微的, 微小的
12. B. 分析：借助搭配结构“..on sth.”判断B(影响) 是答案。该句含义是“他们仍然在估测自动化对工厂工人生活的影响。”influence on../对..的影响; impact n.冲击, 影响, 效果
vt. 撞击, 压紧, 对...发生影响; impact也是通常和介词 on搭配(impact on..)，含义是“对..的影响”; passion 通常和介词for搭配，表示“对..的热爱”; affect vt.影响, 感动, 侵袭; pressure n.压, 压力, 电压
13. B. 分析：借助句意(在她做了手术后的一个月以后她终于有了好转(恢复了健康))判断B(好转)最合适。get along v.生活, 融洽相处, 进展; get on v.生活, 融洽相处, 进展; get out
v.出去, 离开, 逃脱, 泄露
14. 分析：D. 借助句子的句意(这位部长..委员会. )和被选项中的核心词含义判断D(charge
n.主管, 掌管)合适。on the verge of adv.接近于, 濒临于;on the basis of prep.以...为基础; at the cost of adv.以...为代价
15. A. 分析：根据搭配结构含义(..事件)判断A(控制)合适。该句含义是“成功的领导者是事先控制事件而不是事后才做反应”。 Contribute v.捐助, 捐献, 贡献, 投稿; convey vt.搬运, 传达; contact n.接触, 联系vt.接触, 联系
