15年考研词汇题重点详解(12)

 

【典型考题】appreciate

As I’ll be away for at least a year, I’d appreciate _____from you now and then telling me how everyone is getting along. (2000年考研题)

A. hearing           B. to hear              C. to be hearing      D. having heard

【答案】A句意为:由于我至少一年不在这里如果你能常来信告诉我每人的生活情况我将感激不尽。appreciate后要接动词时,要用动名词,又如:

We shall appreciate hearing from you again. 能再次收到你的来信,我们将十分感激。

I would appreciate __________ back this afternoon.

A. you to call         B. you call           C. your calling          D. you’re calling

此题应选 C

 

【典型考题】arbitrary

I was unaware of the critical points involved so my choice was quite _____. (1998年考研题)

A. arbitrary       B. rational       C. mechanical    D. unpredictable

【答案】A句意为:因为我没有认识到问题关键之所在因此我的抉择十分武断。rational意为合理的mechanical意为机械般的unpredictable意为不可预测的Arbitrary有两个用法:一是表示“专横的;武断的”,二是表示“任性的;随心所欲的”。如:

My choice was quite arbitrary. 我的选择相当随意。

The choice of players for the team seems completely arbitrary. 队员的挑选似乎完全是主观决定的。

The diet imposes overall calorie limits, but daily menus are arbitrary. 食谱规定了总的卡路里限制,但每天的菜单可据爱好自定。
