(A) desirable
(B) coincidental
(C) ironic
(D) natural
(E) sensible
分析：本题构成了"单空格模式"，因为 encourage 和 discourage 构成了对比，所以空格要表达的是负评价词。A 令人满意的，可取的;B 一致的;C 讽刺的，矛盾的;D 自然的;E 有感觉的，意识到的，明智的。C选项正确。
翻译：版权和专利法试图通过确保发明者可以因为他们的创造性工作而得到报酬来鼓励发明，因此，如果在这些法律之下的进一步保护由于增加了企业家的诉讼恐惧感而阻碍了企业的发明，则是矛盾的。
扩展：本题所描述的情况类似中国国内的《劳动合同法》，这部法律一方面希望能保护劳动者的权益，但是另一方面由于增加了企业家的诉讼恐惧感，而限制了他们的雇用行为，反而导致了失业人数的上升。

(A) sensational...condemned
(B) buried...urged
(C) impartial...mentioned
(D) biased...predicted
(E) local...denounced
分析：空格 1 填入一个形容词，修饰"新闻报道(news stories)"，空格 2 填入一个动词，表示"新闻报道"对"无罪判决(acquittal)"做的动作。"有罪判决(guilty verdict)"和"无罪判决(acquittal)"构成了对比关系，was caused by 表示前后因果关系，所以空格 2 应该填入一个正动作，并且要体现新闻报道曾经认为应该做无罪判决的含义。A 感觉的，感动的""谴责、宣判;B 隐藏的""促进;C 公正的""提到;D 有偏见的""预测;E 本地的，局部的""公开指责。D 选项为正确答案。

(A) explore with...demonstrate
(B) conjure for...acknowledge
(C) conceal from...dispel
(D) demystify for...escape
(E) endure with...abandon
分析：空格 1 填入一个动词，表示 Michael 对"他的儿子(his son)"做的动作，空格 2 要填入一个动词，表示 Michael 对"他对儿子隐藏的混乱(the chaos he kept hidden from his son)"做的动作，这显然应该是一个正动作，表示在"孩子睡觉以后(when the boy was asleep)"，混乱要表现出来，这是时间对比的体现。A 探究，探索""展现;B 唤起""承认;C 隐藏，隐蔽""驱赶，驱散;D 减少神秘，澄清""逃脱;E忍耐""放弃。A 和 B 的第二个词都符合判断。分号表示前后复指，所以空格 1 也应该是正动作，表示他让儿子看到的是"虚幻的有序(illusory orderliness)"，所以 B 正确。
翻译：Michael 的伎俩是给他儿子造成一种虚假的整洁;当孩子睡觉了，只有他一个人在的时候，Michael 才能表现出隐藏在孩子背后的混乱。
扩展：无
8、 Literature is inevitably a ________ rather than _________ medium for the simple reason that writers interpose their own vision between the reader and reality.
(A) distorting...a neutral
(B) transparent...an opaque
(C) colorful...a drab
(D) flawless...an inexact
(E) flexible...a rigid
分析：两个空格都要填入形容词修饰"媒体(medium)"，rather than 表示结构对比，所以两个空格是一组反义词。并且，for the simple reason 表示前后构成因果关系，所以空格要体现和"作者提出了自己的观点(writersinterpose their own vision)"的相关含义，即"有自己的观点"或者"没自己的观点"。A 失真的，歪曲的""中立的;B 透明的""不透明的;C 色彩丰富的""单调的;D 无瑕疵的""不精确的;E 灵活的""死板的，僵硬的。A 选项正确。
翻译：文学必然是一种歪曲事实而不中立的媒体，因为作者在读者和现实之间提出了自己的观点。

4、 Professional photographers generally regard inadvertent surrealism in a photograph as a curse rather than a blessing;magazine photographers, in particular, consider themselves ________ to the extent that they can ____________ its
presence in their photographs.
(A) skillful...enhance
(B) inadequate...eliminate
(C) original...demonstrate
(D) fortunate...minimize
(E) conventional...highlight
分析：空格 1 填入一个形容词，表示"杂志摄影师(magazine photographers)"对"他们自己(themselves)"的评价，空格 2 填入一个动词，表示"他们(they)"，也就是"杂志摄影师"对"它的出现(its presence)"所做的动作。这里，its 指代的是前句中的"由疏忽造成的超现实主义(inadvertent surrealism)"。分号表示前后复指，前句对"由于疏忽造成的超现实主义"做负评价(curse)，所以后句也要体现同样的意思。用"正负假定法"判断两个空格的关系，如果空格 2 填入正动作，空格 1 就应该填负评价，所以选择一组反义词。A 有技巧的""提高;B 不足够的""消除;C 原始的，独创的""展示;D 幸运的""最小化;E 传统的""强调。D 选项符合推理。
翻译：职业摄影师通常认为由疏忽造成的超现实主义是一种诅咒而不是祝福，尤其是杂志摄影师，当他们能在自己的照片中达到最小化这种超现实主义的程度时，他们就认为自己是幸运的。
扩展：本题可以扩展关于超现实主义的艺术形式的特点和代表人物。

(B) cater to
(C) admire
(D) flout
(E) elude
分析：空格填入一个动词，表示"新的作家(new writers)"对于"流行品味(popular tastes)"做的动作。If 表示前后一致，因为"只迎合流行文学趋势的大出版商继续主导出版发行市场(those publishers that respondsolely to popular literary trends continue to ...

(A) conventionalized
(B) realized
(C) transmitted
(D) manipulated
(E) aggrandized
分析：空格填入一个动词，作用对象是"它(it)"，也就是"魔术(magic)"，分号表示前后复指，所以空格填上后要表达"传统的完整(traditional integrity)"的概念。A 使习俗化;B 意识到;C 传送，传输;D 操作;E 增加，夸大。C 选项正确。
翻译：在一些文化中，魔术的精华是它传统的完整性;只有当它从古代到今天的从业者都完整地传递下来时它才有效果。

(D) imitating
(E) nurturing
分析：空格填入一个现在分词，表示"某些杂草(some weeds)"对于"幼苗期(seedling stage)"做的动作，thereby 表示前后一致，remaining 表示空格 1 要体现"不容易和水稻区分(indistinguishable from the riccrop)"的含义。A 阻止;B 移动，取代;C 争论;D 模仿;E 养育，培养。D 选项正确。
翻译：一些在水稻丛中生长茂盛的杂草要到成熟才会被发现，它们通过模仿水稻生命周期中的幼苗来做到这一点，因此直到开花阶段它们才能和水稻区分开来。
扩展：本题可以作为动植物自我保护机制的例子进行积累和扩展，杂草通过模仿(类似动物的拟态)相似的植物来避免自己被发现。我们也可以积累其他动植物进行自我保护的手段和具体的实例。
