3. I didn't say anything like that at all. You are purposely ______ my ideas to prove your point.
A.revising
B.contradicting
C.distorting
D.distracting
A B C D
C
[解析] 解答该题的关键是根据语境和宾语的特点来确定答案。选项中与ideas搭配的动词只有revising(改编,修改)和distorting(歪曲,曲解)。根据前一句中didn't say anything提供的语境,只有distorting符合句意,故C为正确答案。A、B和D填入句中均说不通,或很别扭,故均应排除。

12. Reading ______ the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.
A.accommodates
B.furnishes
C.gives
D.affords
A B C D
B
[解析] 选项中的词都有“提供”的意思。accommodate是指“提供(住宿、房间);适应,迎合,迁就”;furnish指提供生活或某种用途所需要的东西,固定结构为furnish sb. with sth.;give的结构为give sb. sth.;afford当“提供”讲时,多用于指抽象事物的提供,固定结构为afford sth.。选项中,能与materials of knowledge合理搭配的是furnishes,故答案为B。

A.compose
B.comprise

[解析] 这些动词均含“组成,构成”之意,以词根com-和con-开头。compose是正式用词,多用被动态,指将两个或两个以上的人或物放到一起形成一个整体;comprise是正式用词,指整体是由几个独立的部分所组成;consist与of连用,指一个整体由几个部分组成,或由某些材料构成;constitute为正式用词,指由某些部分组成一个整体或构成某物的基本成分,在句中,主语表示事物的组成部分,宾语表示事物的整体,本句中,project artifacts是事物的组成部分,the resources of the project表示事物的整体,故答案为D。

A.refrain
B.restrain

D.contain
A B C D
C
[解析] refrain“抑制,禁止”,强调抑制一种冲动,是正式用语,为不及物动词,后接介词from;restrain“抑制,约束”,指通过管束阻止某事发生,是及物动词,其习惯用法是restrain sb. (sth.) from doing;constrain“强迫,力劝”,是及物动词,强调强制性;contain“包含;控制”,强调控制性。本句的意思是要束缚the development of these systems(系统发展),故答案为C。
