30、析：解析：conclusive表示“决定性的，结论性的，确定的，不容置疑的”，和indisputable意义相似。题目中conclusive evidence是法律用语，意为“确凿的证据”。句意为“法院不会受理他的上诉，除非他提供确凿证据”。也可以说conclusive proof(确证)。conclusive一般用来形容facts，evidence或arguments等，表明证据令人信服。definite意为“明确的，确切的，清楚的”，其近义词为sure或certain。也可以和evidence搭配使用。但强调“真实的，而不是猜测或臆想的”。conclusive除了“确定的”含义以外，还含有

31、“最终的”意思，说明这些证据不仅令人信服，而且是所有证据的总和，只有最终提出这些确凿证据，法院才会受理他的上诉，而definite只有“确定的”意思。相比之下，conclusive更好。另外，以下形容词也可用来修饰evidence。女口：convincing，decisive，hard，solid，persuasive，compelling等。eventual则表示“最终的，结果的”，和final或ultimate意思相近。如：eventualsuccess最后的成功；concluding也表示“最后的，结束的”，如：concludingremarks结束语。但是这两个词均不和evidence

32、搭配使用。15.That outburst at the meeting was_of his bad temper.(2012-69)（分数：2.00）A.expositoryB.explanatoryC.illustrativeD.revealing解析：解析：四个形容词都有“说明，表明”的含义，但是用法上略有差别。illustrative表示“用作说明的，解说性的，作为例证的”，可以接of。此题来自于牛津高阶英汉双解词典。句意为“在会议上的这通发作足以说明他脾气坏”，如：Falling house prices are illustrative of the crisis facing

33、the constructive industry下跌的房价足以说明建筑业所面临的危机。再如：an illustrative example一个说明性的例子。16.The earthquake refugees are_for food and blankets.(2012-70)（分数：2.00）A.desirousB.badly offC.seriously offD.ambitious解析：解析：be badly off for sth表示“缺乏，不足，急需，需要”。此题来自于牛津高阶英汉双解词典，与字典的例句甚为相似。句意为“地震的难民需要食物和毯子”，如：The hospital w

37、此处考点为“引起歧义的，模棱两可的，有两种以上意思的”，只有“ambiguous”具备此意。句意为“Lookat those pretty girlsskirts的意思模棱两可，因为我们无法判断是女孩还是女孩的裙子漂亮。”如：an ambiguous answer模棱两可的回答。其反义词为“unambiguous”，表示“明确的，不含糊的，清楚的”，如：unambiguous statements清晰的陈述。20.Because of the economic crisis, industrial output in the region remained_.(2010-72)（分数：2.00

38、）A.motionlessB.inactiveC.stagnantD.immobile解析：解析：stagnant意为“不发展的，不景气的，停滞不前的”，相当于sluggish。句意为“由于金融危机，这个地区的工业生产一直停滞不前”，如：Business was stagnant lastweek上个星期生意萧条。21.For the advertised position, the company offers a(n)_salary and benefits package. (2010-79)（分数：2.00）A.generousB.plentifulC.abundantD.suffic

39、ient解析：解析：generous意为“大量的，丰富的，充足的”；plentiful表示“丰富的，充足的”；abundant也有“丰富的，大量的”意思；sufficient同样表示“充足的，足够的”。显然，这四个形容词的含义相当相似，考生很难判断。这里的考点在于某些单词的惯用搭配。因此，只有generous可以和salary搭配，generous salary意为“丰厚的薪金”。句意为“关于广告中提到的工作岗位，这家公司提供丰厚的(包括福利的)薪资待遇。”22.All her cousins and their children have fair hair. The underlined

40、part means_. (2014-69)（分数：2.00）A.fineB.darkC.thickD.light解析：解析：fair通常意为“公平的，合理的”，但此处显然不是这个含义。当fair修饰头发时，表示“金色的”，属于浅色系。而light指颜色时也表示“淡的，浅的”，故选D。请考生注意fair还可指“(皮肤)白皙的；(天气)晴朗的；尚好的，中等的”，复习时请多留意一词多义的情况。23.John always feels sluggish first thing in the morning. The underlined part means _.(2014-70)（分数：2.00）

41、A.sickB.inactiveC.dizzyD.drowsy解析：解析：sluggish表示“无精打采的，懒洋洋的，有气无力的”，说明一个人行动迟缓，缺乏活力。句意为“约翰早上头一件事总是感到浑身懒洋洋”。请考生注意sluggish还可指“(商业)不景气的，清淡的”，如：a sluggish economy萧条的经济。24.The family of the victim had to endure a long wait before the case came to trial. The underlined part means_.(2014-71)（分数：2.00）A.tolerat

42、eB.keepC.faceD.hold解析：解析：endure意为“忍受(痛苦，困难等)，耐住”。出处仍然是牛津高阶英语词典(第七版)，句意为“在案子审理前，受害者的家属不得不忍受长时间的等待”。四个选项只有tolerate含有“容忍，忍受”的含义。此外，以下动词或词组都表示“忍受”：bear，take，stand，put up with等。25.Our experiment was conducted under optimal condition. The underlined part means _.(2014-80)（分数：2.00）A.perfectB.properC.possib

43、leD.proposed解析：解析：optimal=optimum，表示“最佳的，最优的，最适宜的，最理想的”，如：theoptimal growth temperature最适宜生长温度，与ideal，best含义相近。比较四个选项只有perfect意思最为接近。proper指“适宜的，合适的，恰当的”；possible表示“可能的”；proposed则意为“申请的，推荐的”。26.He is fed up with the same old dreary routine, and wants to quit his job. The underlined part means_.(2013

44、-67)（分数：2.00）A.dullB.tiringC.longD.hard解析：解析：部分考生也许不认识dreary，可通过上下文猜测其义。dull意为“乏味的，单调的，无聊的”，tiring意为“令人疲倦的，辛苦的”，long意为“长时间的”，hard意为“困难的，费时的”。根据题干中same，old和routine，我们不难发现他要做相同的、老套的例行工作，势必产生“枯燥无味的，单调的”感觉。故选项A最恰当。句意为“他厌倦了这种相同的，既老套又枯燥的例行工作，想辞职不干了”。近义词如下：Doring，uninteresting，tedious，monotonous等。27.Everyone in the office knows that Melinda takes infinite care over her work. The underlined part means_.(2013-73)（分数：2.00）A.limitedB.unnecessaryC.overdueD.much解析：解析：首先题干中infinite意为“无限的，无穷的，极大的”，近义词为great，unlimited。如：infinite damage巨大的损失。
