1、[Cl]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：动词辨析题。空格所在句主语为sixmen,空格后的and连接并列谓

语，由andsatdown可推知，空格处缺少动词作谓语。该句句意为：6个穿着白衬

衫、打着领带的人雅加达一家小公司的会议室，在长桌旁坐好。备选动词

中的Hied”排成纵列行进”在含义上与句意相符，故F)为正确答案。

2、[C2]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：名词辨析题。根据空格前的isno可推断，比处缺少名词作表语。结

合空格前的mysticismtouchesalmosteveryaspectoflifeinIndonesia"神秘主义几乎

涉及印尼生活的各个领域”可推知，即使在商业领域里也有神秘主义，n。exception

意为“亳无例外”，故C)exccption“例外，除外”符合句意，为正确答案。

3、(C3J

标准答案：A

知识点解析：动词辨析题。根据空格前的helped和之后的theprofits可推断，此处

缺少动词。结合上文的hisweeklymeditationsessionsareaimedmainlyatbringingthe

peaceofmindthatmakesforgooddecision-making可推知，空格所在句的大意是：他

每周的冥想还使他所持有的5家公司的利润有所增加。故A)boost”促进，提高”符

合句意，为正确答案。

4、[C4]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：副词辨析题。根据空格后的动词spread可知，该空缺少副词作状

语。该句句意为：那些虔诚的商人，被称为WaliUllah或者“接近神的人”，把他们

的祈求跟爪哇当地的神秘主义相结合，他们通过这一途径拓展商业买卖和

宗教信仰。备选副词中的energetically“积极地”符合句意，故B）为正确答案。

5、[C5]

标准答案：L

知识点解析：名词辨析题。由空格前的through和之后的andfasting可知,该空缺

少与fasting并列的名词。绢合下文的“BusinessmanHadisikosaidhisgroupfastsand

meditatesallnight,everyThursday…''可推知,空格处应为meditate的名词形式,故

L）meditation“冥想”符合句意，为正确答案。

6、[C6]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：形容词辨析题。根据空格前的系动词be和之后的injudgingtherisk

可推断，此处缺少形容词作表语。由上文的withthemindrelaxedandopen可推

知，在大脑放松、开放的状态下，人们做出的判断会更加客观、理性，故

M）objective”客观的”符合句意，为正确答案。

7、[C7]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：动词辨析题。空格前为and连接的并列主语，其后为宾语，可推断此

处缺少动词作谓语。结合句意：冥想以及与古代领袖的智慧交流可以洞察

力和直觉。备选动词中sharpens”（感觉、理解）加强；（使）改善”可以与空格后的

insightandintuition”洞察力和直觉”搭配使用，故N）为正确答案。

8、[C8]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：名词辨析题。根据空格后的andprofitability可知，该空缺少与

profitability并列的名词。空格所在部分thathasbroughtandprofitability是

修饰aturningaround“扭转局面”的定语从句，一般情况下，扭转局面带来的除了

profitability“利润”夕卜,还有公司的发展壮大,故D）expansion"扩张，扩大”符合句

意，为正确答案。

9、[C9]

标准答案：0

知识点解析：形容词辨析题。由空格后的名词mind可知：该空缺少形容词作定

语。上文一直在讨论meditation“冥想”，再结合本句句意“意志力和_______在商业

中非常重要”可知，空格前的willpower“意志力”可以与subconsciousmind"潜意识”

并列，故O）subconscious”下意识的，潜意识的”符合句意.为正确答案。

10、[C10]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：名词辨析题。由空格前的ihesamehigher可知，该空缺少名词。上文

的suchapproachesaspsycho-cybemetics（心理控制论），Carnegie'sthinkandgrowth

rates,orthepowerofpositivethinking"心理控制论、卡耐基思想和增长率、积极思

考的力量”等观点是西方开发高智能的方法，highintelligence“高智商”符合句意，

故J)为正确答案。
