(OG Authentic GRE Practice Test Section 4, Q1)
Only by ignoring decades of mismanagement and inefficiency could investors conclude that a fresh infusion of cash would provide anything other than a ______ solution to the company’s financial woes.
(A) complete
(B) fleeting
(C) momentary
(D) premature
(E) trivial
(F) total
KEY: BC
关键字:ignore、other than表示否定,by表解释说明、conclude表示同义重复空格中应该填入一个形容词,用来修饰solution。由于不存在反义的关联元素,两句话之间是同义关系;又由于ignore、other than表示特殊的否定,因此对应词语之间应该是同义关系。而修饰solution的形容词,可以根据前文中说这个公司对于资金等的运用情况得出。前文中说这个公司运营状况是“mismanagement and inefficiency”——不佳的状态,因此,对于这个注资行为的评价也应该是一种负面的态度,由于运营不佳,因而注资仅仅有一种“杯水车薪”的感觉。词语解释:
[1]. (A) complete:(完全的)fully carried out : THOROUGH
[2].(B) fleeting:(短暂的)passing swiftly : TRANSITORY
[3].(C) momentary:(短暂的)continuing only a moment : FLEETING
[4]. (D) premature:(早熟的)happening, arriving, existing, or performed before the proper, usual, or intended time
[5]. (E) trivial:(琐碎的)of little worth or importance
[6]. (F) total:(完全的)comprising or constituting a whole : ENTIRE
