(1)词义辨析。cross “穿过,交叉”;pass down “使流传”;survive “生存,幸存”;exist “存在”。根据文意,如果我们不接触到流传的文化和传统,我们将会排除在流传给下一代的大同世界之外。选项B符合题意。
(2)动词词义辨析。warm “警告”;facilitate “促进,帮助”;compel “强迫,迫使”;encourage “鼓励”。根据文意,这种排斥倾向于促使我们重塑所有,这是一项不必要并且不可能完成的任务。选项C符合题意。
(3)形容词词义辨析。根据文意,另一方面会使我们感到自大,认为我们是世界的创造者,选项A符合题意。
(4)逻辑推理。前一句说道我们是世界和优秀思想的创造者,后一句提到我们实际上只是历史中的一个小碎片。前后形成了对比和转折。选项C符合题意。
(5)动词词义辨析。provide “提供,装备”;leave “留下”;reserve “保存”;keep “保留”。句意:如果完全只有我们自己的话,那我们对智慧的贡献是相当微薄的。所以用keep sth. to oneself 的结构,选项D符合题意。
(6)名词词义辨析。arena “舞台,竞技场”;community“社区,共同体”;subject“主题,学科”;discipline“纪律”。句意:人文科学的一些社区团体提出了一些问题。选项B符合题意。
(7)动词词义辨析。Followed“追逐,追求”;investigate“调查”;serve“招待”;abandon“丢弃,抛弃”。根据文意,这些社团提出的问题是,哪些目标是值得追随的。选项A符合题意。
(8)名词词义辨析。identification“鉴定,识别”;maintenance“维持,维护”;reverence“崇敬,尊严”;endeavor“努力”。根据文意,问题是什么样的理想值得人们去尊重。选项C符合题意。
(9)逻辑推理。考查对上下文相关语句关系的把握,区分表示联系的副词。similarly“相似地”; contrarily“反之”;virtually“实际上”;literally “照字面地,不夸张地”。根据文意,确实地。前一句提到只知道什么事情是值得做的,但是不知道具体方法是无用的,空格后一句提到只知道如何把事情做好,而不知道什么事情是值得做的也是没意义的。所以前后两句是相反的。选项B符合题意。
(10)名词词义辨析。concentration“专心,专注”;presupposition“假定,预设”;revelation“揭露”;reflection“反映,沉思”。句意:在对应用科学进行研究时,也需要对人文科学投以关注。选项A符合题意。
