考点一 形容词词义辨析
1.People complain that decisions to approve or deny a permit are often rather than based on fixed criteria.(2013湖北,27)
A.appropriate B.conscious
C.arbitrary D.controversial
剖析:C 考查形容词辨析。句意:人们抱怨说,同意或拒绝授予许可证的决定通常都是任意性的(行为),而不是基于固定的标准。此处与后面的fixed criteria呼应,故用arbitrary,表示“随意的,任意的”。
2.He didn’t selfishly keep for himself the money inherited from his uncle.Instead,he made a contribution to help the community.(2013湖北,28)
A.commercial B.generous
C.comparable D.profitable
剖析:B 考查形容词辨析。句意:他没有自私地把从他叔叔那里继承的钱自己留着,而是慷慨地捐赠出去,帮助社区。根据句意可知应选B,表示“慷慨的,大方的”。commercial商业的;comparable可比较的,比得上的;profitable有利可图的。
