参考答案及解析

1.【答案】B

【解析】substantively“实质地”;substantially“大量地”;substitutively“可替代地”;subjectively“主观地”。本句意为经过几个世纪，阅读的概念已经改变了很多。

2.【答案】C

【解析】在这里to是介词，后接名词或动名词。因本句中the reading process前也应有动词，故选动名词

3.【答案】A

【解析】although表示“尽管”，符合句意。

4.【答案】A

【解析】involve使卷入、包括;被动语态时用be involved in;没有involve to和involve of的用法。

5.【答案】D

【解析】mental function智力活动。Opinion“意见”;manner“行为”;effect“影响”，这三项与mental搭配不妥。

6.【答案】B

【解析】disagree about/on“对……有不同意见”，在这一含义上不能用其他介词。

7.【答案】A

【解析】stand for“代表”;stand by“支持”;stand to“遵守”;stand off“冷淡”。

9.【答案】B

【解析】contend“争论”;content“含量、容量”;contempt“轻视、蔑视”;contact“接触、联系”。根据句意，此处应选contend，意为这些权威争论说……。

10.【答案】A

【解析】inexplicably“无法解释地”;inextricably“无法摆脱的”;inexpressibly“说不出地”;inexpediently“不适当地、不明智地”。本句意为其他人坚持认为阅读无法解释地与思考联系在一起。

11.【答案】A

12.【答案】C

【解析】在这里according to some是说“根据一些人的观点”。

13.【答案】D

【解析】actually“事实上地”;practical是形容词，不能修饰动词。这里actually和前半句的theoretical是在词意上的相对，符合句意。

14.【答案】B

【解析】代词its后接名词，四项选择中只有B、D项是名词。entirety“整体”;entity“实体”。in its entirety指整体地、全面地。

15.【答案】C

【解析】be classified as“被划分、被分类到”;be granted“被授予”。

16.【答案】C

【解析】conclusive“确定的”;inclusive“包括的、包围的”;inclinable“倾向于、赞成的”;complicated“复杂的”。the most conclusive是最高级，指最确定性的
