2、procedure . distaste for(E) document . disapprobation of解答空格之前的动词不定式"to provide."无疑是对此前的那个不定式结构"to enable purgation to take place"的复述。据此，可将第一个不定式中的purgation一词直接移入空格，则求得同义的(A) catharsis为正确答案。词汇catharsis: 渲泄，净化empathy: 移情，共鸣disapprobation: 不以为然，非难中译刑事司法制度的根本目的就是要致使犯法者得以被荡涤清除;也就是说，要

3、提供某种净化作用，社会藉以对罪犯的违法行为表示出全民的愤慨。2、The Gibsons were little given to - in any form; not one of them was afraid of -, of being and seeming unlike their neighbors.(A) humility . absurdity(B) excellence . mediocrity(C) anger . confrontation(D) conformism . singularity(E) ostentation . eccentricity解答空格后面以of

4、引导的介词结构无疑与该空格前的of结构属同一性质，作补充陈述。从"unlike their neighbours"可获取一“与众不同，标新立异”的概念代入空格，则求得(D) singularity和(E) eccentricity为正确。既然第二句陈述"Gibson一家谁都不怕与众不同"，这即意味着每人都敢于或愿意表现得与众不同。据此可推知，Gibson一家所不喜欢的是“与众相同”。正确答案为(D)。词汇be given to: 习惯于, 喜欢absurdity: 荒谬confrontation: 1.正视 2. 冲突，对抗ostentation: 炫耀

6、答在以but连接的两个句子中分别两次涉及“研究”(investigation search)这一概念。从search后面的介词结构in a definite direction可求取其反义词(B) unguided。中译一种漫无目的，无的放矢式的研究偶尔能揭示出新的事实，甚至是引人瞩目的事实;但是，普遍而言，此类事实的出现是有着明确方向的探索带来的结果。2、The state is a network of exchanged benefits and beliefs, - between rulers and citizens based on those laws and procedur

7、es that are - to the maintenance of community.(A) a compromise . inimical(B) an interdependence. . subsidiary(C) a counterpoint . incidental(D) an equivalence . prerequisite(E) a reciprocity . conducive解答空格需代入一名词，与此前的"a network of exchanged benefits"在语法上构成同位语，以突出强调“互惠互利”这一概念。(E) reciprocity最好地体现了这一概念。(A) compromise 和(B) interdependence尽管尚能达意，但针对性不强。当然，在空格处，(A)(B)前后不通，(E) "be conducive to"(有利于)为正确。词汇inimical: 1.敌意的 2.有害的，不利的subsidiary: 附属的，次要的，补贴的counterpoint: 对位法，对比法incidental: 伴随的，
