第1题:
The word “passing”(Line 7, Paragraph 1) most probably means_____.
[A] instant [B] trivial [C] simple [D] negligible
[精解] 本题考查词义理解。passing一词出现在第一段第四句。其上文提到,“债券交易员得到的两条建议有两处细微的缺陷。第一点是要从现任联邦储备局主席的嘴里听到精确而有分量的话不只是……的困难(more than passing difficulty)”。显然这一内容是针对上文第二条建议(即,美国联邦储备局前主席说的话都是金玉良言)而讲的。由“缺陷”(drawbacks)一词可知,从现任联邦储备局主席那听到金玉良言是非常困难的,这种困难不是“微不足道的”,因此[D]正确。
第2题:
The word “devastating” (Line 3, Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to _____
