考點(diǎn)一 形容詞詞義辨析
1.People complain that decisions to approve or deny a permit are often rather than based on fixed criteria.(2013湖北,27)
A.appropriate B.conscious
C.arbitrary D.controversial
剖析:C 考查形容詞辨析。句意:人們抱怨說,同意或拒絕授予許可證的決定通常都是任意性的(行為),而不是基于固定的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。此處與后面的fixed criteria呼應(yīng),故用arbitrary,表示“隨意的,任意的”。
2.He didn’t selfishly keep for himself the money inherited from his uncle.Instead,he made a contribution to help the community.(2013湖北,28)
A.commercial B.generous
C.comparable D.profitable
剖析:B 考查形容詞辨析。句意:他沒有自私地把從他叔叔那里繼承的錢自己留著,而是慷慨地捐贈(zèng)出去,幫助社區(qū)。根據(jù)句意可知應(yīng)選B,表示“慷慨的,大方的”。commercial商業(yè)的;comparable可比較的,比得上的;profitable有利可圖的。
