來(lái)源:
小編: 5617. Impede=restrict
顯而易見(jiàn)的,這兩個(gè)單詞的原意似乎并不接近。前者是 to delay or stop the progress of sth 阻礙;阻止,更接近與hinder,hamper,是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的書(shū)面語(yǔ)。Eg. Fallen rock is impeding the progress of rescue workers.
墜落的石頭阻滯了救援人員的救援進(jìn)程。
而restrict是 to limit the size, amount or range of sth,即限制,我們大家比較熟悉的意思。然而它還有一層意思,是大家不熟悉的,to stop sb/sth from moving or acting freely 即束縛;妨礙。這就說(shuō)明,在所考察的語(yǔ)境中,后者的第二個(gè)意思和impede更接近。所以,這個(gè)答案的選項(xiàng)也就不讓人意外了。所以再次提醒大家,TOEFL考察的是第二語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)者,一次多義的情況很多見(jiàn),大家做題的時(shí)候要進(jìn)行語(yǔ)境還原,避免一葉障目的錯(cuò)選。
8. decipher=figure out
Decipher:to succeed in finding the meaning of sth that is difficult to read or understand 破譯,辨認(rèn)(難認(rèn)、難解的東西)
Eg: The Warring States script is very difficult to decipher.
戰(zhàn)國(guó)文字就像古老的密碼,很難破譯.
Figure out是to think about sb/sth until you understand them/it 弄懂;弄清楚,更接近于work out
Eg. I can't figure out how to do this.
我弄不懂怎樣做這件事。
9. burgeoning=increasingly
Burgeon為動(dòng)詞發(fā)芽(=sprout),可以積累這樣的詞組:burgeoning company 新興公司 burgeoning industry新興產(chǎn)業(yè)。
10. uniformly=consistently
Uniform n.校服;制服 a.一致的前綴uni-表示"一個(gè),單一"unilingual a. 只用一種語(yǔ)言的。
Eg. The middle button of his uniform jacket was strained over his belly.
制服上裝中間的紐扣在他的肚子上繃得緊緊的。
The price rises will not be uniform across the country.
