13、含有不管是意思的whether,这句话的意思为不管是关于宇宙的,还是关于精神,爱情,梦想,或者要一个饮料.11,语境题.本题解答的关键是要搞清楚这句话开始的代词it所指代的对象.分析后可知,it是指代上一句话中的our ability to communicate abstract thoughts.知道了这个,在考察四个选项,可以确定应该选择含有过程意思的process.12,语境题.本句话是一个总论,下面的几句是从几个方面阐述我们演讲和理解中的不解之处.对后面分述部分理解后,可以确定应该选择aspects.13,词汇搭配题.本题比较简单,one person可以确定应该选择another,
