请从以下选项中找出合适的词语：

　　The social-cultural trends of the 1960s ______ not only the relative affluence of the postwar period but also the coming to maturity of a generation that was a product of that _____.

　　A. dominated...movement

　　B. reflected... prosperity

　　C. accentured... depression

　　D. cautioned...decade

　　E. accepted...revolution

　　参考译文：B. reflected...prosperity

　　解析：这道题不仅需要从词语的角度来判断两者之间存在的逻辑性，即因果关系，还可以从历史文化的角度来判断词语的选取。1960年代是美国战后经济飞速发展(relative affluence/prosperity)的时期，其社会文化的发展也达到了一个顶峰，出现了反战思潮和嬉皮士文化。这进而影响了对“baby-booming”一代有深远的影响。因此，reflect体现的是“经济基础决定上层建筑”，而“prosperity”是对“relative aflluence”的呼应。

　　Choose the lettered pair that best expresses a relationship similar to that expressed in the original piar.

　　Liken:Similarity

　　A. hesitate: reluctance

　　B. argue: debate

　　C. classify: hierarchy

　　D. discriminate:difference

　　参考答案：B. argue: debate

　　解析：这两个单词的意思相近。Liken的意思是“把…比作;把…比拟为"，即If you liken one thing or person to another thing or person, you say that they are similar. 例如：The pain is often likened to being drilled through the side of the head. 这种疼痛常被比作钻头钻入头部的感觉。Similarity的意思是“相似处;相似点;类似的地方” 即Similarities are features that things have which make them similar to each other.wvk 例如 ：There were significant similarities between mother and son.母子之间有很多相像的地方。不过，前者是动词，而后者是名词。在四个选项里，B是相同的样式，即一组近义词，前者是动词，后者是名词。

　　请从以下选项中挑出与划线单词意思相近的选项：

　　Demonstratosr entered their third day of a building takeover at UC Santa Cruz on Saturday in protest of a tuition increase, an undertaking that a school spokesman called futile.

　　A. useless

　　B. constructive

　　C. derogatory

　　D. negative

　　参考译文：A. useless

　　解析：在柯林斯词典里，futile的解释是：If you say that something is futile, you mean there is no point in doing it, usually because it has no chance of succeeding. 即“徒劳无益的”。在这一句里，学生们针对涨学费发起的占领楼的示威活动(即undertaking)在学校的发言人看来是一种futile的行为。作为对立方，学校发言人自然不可能认可学生的活动。因此，不可能是constructive。derogative是"贬低的"和“贬损的”，而negative则是“负面的”，与整个句子的意思不符。
