第1题

A.alike

B.alongside

C.aside

□.besides

参考答案：c您的答案：未作答

答案解析：本题考查副词用法。alike意为“以同样的方式；类似于”，用于强调两者的类

似性，文中并未将“脾气暴躁的邻居们”与他人比较；abngside意为“在(……)旁边”；besides

意为“此外；而且”；aside意为“撇开(……不谈)将它们放人文中后，只有C项最符合语

义逻辑，表示“暂且不提暴躁易怒的邻居们”，因此C项为正确答案。

第2题

A.conflicting

B.worrying

C.revealing

0.appealing

参考答案：A您的答案：未作答

答案解析：本题考查上下文语义。conflicting意为"冲突的，相矛盾的，不一致的”;worrying

意为“令人担心的,烦恼的"；revealing是“给人启发的，透露真情的"；appealing意为“吸

引人的，引起兴趣的”。空格所在句指出：之前科学家们为解决该问题做出很多的努力，结

论一直……，下旬紧接着指出目前一项研究揭示了这一问题的结论，可推断之前的研究没有

得出一致的结论。故A项为正确答案。

第3题

A.accordingly

B.indeed

C.hence

0.nevertheless

参考答案：B您的答案：未作答

答案解析：本题考查上下文逻辑关系。accordingly意为“因此，于是；相应地"；indeed

意为“的确,确实hence意为“因此；今后”；nevertheless意为“然而；
