(E) precocious
6.Her vague sense of ------- grew into anxiety and then alarm when she discovered that her initial doubts about the success of the undertaking were well founded.
(A) foreboding
(B) remorse
(C) anticipation
(D) intrigue
(E) complacency
Explanation
1.The correct answer is A
Choice (A) is correct. It makes sense that the senator, in light of his and his colleague’s shared history of non-cooperation, would consider the colleague’s assurances “fatuous,” or complacently foolish.
2.The correct answer is D
The word “so” indicates that the sentence is a cause-and-effect statement: the second half of the sentence must describe the way readers must respond to a novel that “consists of discrete vignettes.” Inserting the terms in choice (D) into the sentence creates a logical cause-and-effect statement. If the novel is composed of “discrete,” or unconnected, episodes, then the reader must supply the “connections” that bind these apparently “independent” parts.
3.The correct answer is B
It makes sense to say that although bromelain is not “effective” against, or cannot prevent, bone injury, it is effective in helping injured bones “recover.”
4.The correct answer is A
The sentence asks you to find the mildest word in a logical progress leading to anxiety and finally culminating in alarm. Of the choices given, only “foreboding” is a word that describes a feeling related to, but less than, anxiety.
5.The correct answer is D
Only “resourceful” logically completes the sentence: a resourceful woman would be one who is “ready with a clever stratagem or verbal ploy for getting out of a difficult situation.”
6.The correct answer is A
The sentence asks you to find the mildest word in a logical progress leading to anxiety and finally culminating in alarm. Of the choices given, only “foreboding” is a word that describes a feeling related to, but less than, anxiety.

SAT填空经典题目练习(附答案)
Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

(C) a sentimentalist . . preferable to
(D) a traditionalist . . inferior to
(E) an idealist . . instructive about

Answer Choices
(A) concentration . . incidental
(B) disagreement . . incongruous
(C) collaboration . . predictable
(D) hostility . . dazzling
(E) cooperation . . remarkable
4.Although the conference speakers disliked one another and might have been expected to ------- , it turned out that on several substantive issues they were in complete ------- and were able to avoid petty squabbling.
A. argue . . disagreement
B. bristle . . apathy
C. debate . . dissonance
D. concur . . denial
E. bicker . . accord
Explanation
5.Laboratories have been warned that provisions for animal protection that in the past were merely ------- will now be mandatory;------- of this policy will lose their federal research grants.
A. comprehensive . . adversaries
B. nominal . . advocates
C. disregarded . . proponents
D. recommended . . violators
E. compulsory . . resisters
6.Tantra paintings from India are not only beautiful but also -------: in addition to their aesthetic value, they are used to facilitate meditation.
Answer Choices
(A) garish
(B) valuable
(C) numerous
(D) ornate
(E) functional
7.Ramona had never visited Niagara Falls, but she could appreciate their splendor ------- through the descriptions of others.
Answer Choices
(A) vicariously
(B) heedlessly
(C) innocuously
(D) mystically
(E) voluminously
Explanation
1.The correct answer is C
Only “desolate...populated” presents the contrast required by the sentence. The words “corrected the notion” signal that the first word in the correct answer must contrast with the second word because that second word corrects the mistaken notion.
2.The correct answer is D
A “traditionalist” is someone who adheres to a time-honored set of practices or beliefs. “Inferior to” describes something that is of lesser quality or value than something else. An administrator certainly could be a traditionalist, or adhere to time-honored practices. If the new administrator prefers older, established ways of doing things, it makes sense to say that he might consider newer ideas but ultimately, or in the end, decide that they are inferior to, or lesser in value than, older ideas.
3.The correct answer is E
Choice (E) is the only pair of words that logically completes this sentence. The "adversarial" attitude of the team members would suggest that working together would be quite difficult, or that "cooperation" would be "impossible"; given the project's bad start, its ultimate success would be "remarkable" because nobody would have expected it.
4.The correct answer is E
Choice (E) is correct. Bickering is the kind of petulant or peevish arguing to which personal dislike might have lead the speakers, but their “accord,” or agreement, on substantive issues kept them from squabbling.
5.The correct answer is D
The word “merely” indicates that the past provisions were not as strict as the “mandatory” provisions and “recommended” is the only first term that conveys a lesser degree of strictness. Only “violators” could logically be penalized by losing their federal research grants.
6.The correct answer is E
Choice (E) is correct. Facilitating meditation is a function—something valuable about tantra paintings in addition to their beauty.
7.The correct answer is A
Ramona hadn’t visited Niagara Falls but "could appreciate their splendor," so the word that fills the blank must be an adverb whose definition has to do with appreciating something indirectly, "through the descriptions of others" (based on their experiences). Choice (A) is correct because to experience something "vicariously" is to experience it through imaginative participation in the actual experience of someone else.
