参考答案和解析
正确答案: A
解析:
xenophobia出现在第二段首句后半部分,该段讲述了种族主义导致那些被认为“foreign or different”的人被袭击事件的发生,可知英国存在一种仇外情绪,因此antipathy(憎恶)与xenophobia(仇外情绪)表达意思相符。partiality偏袒;偏心。arbitariness任意;霸道。discrimination歧视。

    正确答案:B
    B 猜词题。该词所在的原句为“The ranks of volunteers were infiltrated by actors told to play selfishly.”从后文可以看出,人们并不喜欢那些自私的同伴,据此可以推断这些志愿者们和演员们是被混在一起的。选项中,A“扮演”,B“混杂”,C“教授”,D“过滤”。因此B最合适。

    D

    self-improvement


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    语义题。self-control自我控制;self-analysis自我分析;self-protection自我保护;self-improvement自我提高。self-preservation指的是前文的 “motivate a computer to stop trouble as soon as it starts”,在一开始就自动避免麻烦是一种自我保护,所以self-preservation是 “自我保护”的意思,故选C。

    正确答案: C
    解析:
