参考答案及解析:

1.The correct answer is E

Explanation

The sentence focuses on one aspect of the platforms—extreme heaviness. Therefore, “immense” makes a logically consistent sentence.

2.The correct answer is B

Explanation

The terms in choice (B) logically complete the sentence’s comparison between ethnic and cultural “generalizations” and certain “representations of constellations.” “Stereotypes” are oversimplified generalizations that do not necessarily describe what a particular person is actually like—just as “pictorial,” or picture-based, representations of constellations cannot accurately describe a star’s “actual nature.”

3.The correct answer is A

Explanation

The keys to this sentence are the word “Despite,” the words “human in scale,” and the words “not remote and larger than life.” The word filling the first blank has to be one that would relate closely to something that seems “larger than life.” The word filling the second blank has to fit with “human in scale.” If you focus on just one of the two blanks, you will be able to eliminate several choices before you even think about the other blank.

4.The correct answer is E

Explanation

The information after the first comma actually explains the missing word. The fact that such a variety of products can be made from one plant indicates that the soybean is very “versatile”: it has many uses.

5.The correct answer is B

Explanation

The structure of the sentence indicates that the idea after the colon elaborates on or explains the first part of the sentence. It is possible that the members of the “rebel group . . . have never been punished” even though they have “committed,” or carried out, numerous acts that break rules or laws. And the idea that the members have not been punished despite having committed violations does elaborate on the idea that the group has had “total impunity,” or has been completely exempt from punishment and harm.

6.The correct answer is A

Explanation

Choice (A) is correct. It is logical to connect the “decimation,” or harm done to, a park’s trees to the “prevalence,” or dominance, of a harmful species of termites.
