  解 析

  第一句话说明这些原因都是导致动植物种群数量下降的主要原因之一。那么单独一个因素是不至于导致这个结果的,所以一空选B,trigger引发,致使。因此怎么样会导致对衰退物种的不当管理(lead to improper management of declining species)。根据前文说到的只关注一个部分的话,就会产生不好的结果,所以二空选E, focus on individual factors只关注个体因素。三空选H,overlook potential interactions忽视潜在的互相影响。

  翻 译

  人为干扰,如生境破坏和外来物种的引进,是导致动植物种群数量下降的主要原因之一。大多数人口都受到各种不利的人类压力的影响,每一种压力本身都不足以引发人口崩溃。因此关注个体因素而忽视潜在相互作用的种群衰退研究可能导致对衰退物种的不当管理。

  A hallmark of certain nineteenth-century mystery novels was the reform agenda of their authors, who ostensibly sought to expose economic injustice while depicting the seamy underside of urban life. In reality, however, these claims to a radical political agenda were often (i)_____ meant to give lurid thrillers the appearance of (ii)_____.

  Blank(i)

  A. authentic

  B. complicated

  C. disingenuous

  Blank(ii)

  D. escapist appeal

  E. high-minded purpose

  F. gripping suspense

  词 汇

  Hallmark:特征,特点

  Ostensibly:表面上的

  Seamy:污秽的,肮脏丑恶的/有裂缝的

  Lurid:尤指故事或文章故意骇人听闻的,令人毛骨悚然的

  Authentic:真实的,真正的,正品的

  Complicated:复杂的

  Disingenuous: 虚伪的

  Escapist appeal: 逃避现实的诉求

  High-minded purpose: 高尚的目标

  Gripping suspense: 吸引人的悬念

  答案:CE

  解 析

  第一句话意思是“他们表面上试图揭露经济不公,同时描绘城市生活的阴暗面”(who ostensibly sought to expose economic injustice while depicting the seamy underside of urban life)。ostensibly说明只是表面功夫。那么后面转折,事实上这些人并没有那么公正,所以一空选C,disingenuous虚伪的。二空前是appearance表象,即前文提到过的很公正的追求,所以选E,High-minded purpose高尚的目标。

  翻 译

  某些十九世纪神秘小说的一个特点是作者的改革议程,他们表面上试图揭露经济不公,同时描绘城市生活的阴暗面。然而在现实中,这些对激进政治议程的主张往往是虚伪的,意在给恐怖片以崇高目标的表象。
