manage 经济地使用，有付评价意味
conspiracy against 反叛

it is his dubious distinction to have proved what nobody would think of denying,that R at the age of 64 writes with all the characteristics of ______.
it = to have proved
what no body would think of denying = R at the age of 64 writes with all the characteristics of _______.
所以空格 = at the age of 64 = maturity

allegation 指控 phony 假的
the judge's standing in the legal community, though shaken by phony allegations of wrongdoing, emerged, at long last, _______.
though后面写的对judge's standing in the legal community付评价，所以主句对其正评价，主句没有否定标志，所以空格写正评价词 undiminished and undamaged

shore up = 支持
skittish 易激动的
restive 焦躁不安的

anything other than = 只不过，仅仅是
Only by ignoring decades of mismanagement and inefficiency could investors conclude that a fresh infusion of cash would provide anything other than a ______ solution to the company's financial woes.
无视了mismanagement and inefficiency, 仅仅能conclude （负评价形容词）solution.

6楼 再修正
Only by ignoring decades of mismanagement and inefficiency could investors conclude that a fresh infusion of cash would provide anything other than a ______ solution to the company's financial woes.
anything other than = 不仅仅是，表否定。
only 表前后条件因果，IGNORE MISMANAGEMENT AND INEFFICIENCY可当做investor对company的正评价，所以后面也是正评价。后面有且只有一个否定标志anything other than,所以空格填否定形容词以逆转逻辑。
感谢6楼的G友，这个题目确实比较绕。首先only表前后逻辑关系，ignore表分句内部负评价的逻辑标志杂糅确实比较罕见，anything other than在这里也卡一下。

Although Irish literature continued to flourish after the sixteenth century, a _____ tradition is _____ in the visual arts: we think about Irish culture in terms of the word, not in term of pictorial images.
空1: forgotten, ingrained, comparable
空2: superfluous, absent, apparent
literature和word是同一个东西，pictorial image和visual arts是同一个东西。冒号后面表示I的literature比visual arts好，冒号前应同意重复。对visual arts负评价并且和literature产生对比关系。所以空1填comparable表对比，理解成“相当的，差不多的"。ingrain根深蒂固，逻辑上无关。
空2填动词表示对 "visual arts is comparable with literature" 的负评价。superfluous意思不通，absent负评价，apparent正评价，所以absent正解。
后续整理的逻辑过程很麻烦，很绕。可是考试的时候其实是把整个过程在大脑中用0.5到0.8秒闪一遍。逻辑对象的捕捉很重要，比如此题中的文学和视觉艺术这两者。

体会：
词汇的熟练度还是关键，重中之重。其实对逻辑关系的梳理都是对词汇不过关这个短板的权宜之计。如果一路读过去都很顺畅比如 小张是个 _____ 的人，他总是毫无保留地帮助别人。
从母语的直觉出发空格自然是填 "乐于助人"。
但是如果对于 "毫无保留地"这个词理解不到位，就需要去分析整个句子，逗号前后同意重复，"保留"是个负评价词， "毫无"是否定标志，于是后半句就是对 “他帮助别人”的正评价，所以前句也是正评价，于是得出应该填类似passionate, helpful, enthusiastic, wholehearted之类的词。再看后面的句意才得出应该是 helpful。
简直蛋疼。所以词汇的理解还是关键。

The sweep of narrative in A. N. Wilson's biography of C. S.
Lewis is impressive and there is much that is acute and well
argued. But much in this work is careless and unworthy of its
author. Wilson, a novelist and an accomplished biographer,
has failed to do what any writer on such a subject as Lewis
ought to do, namely work out a coherent view of how the
various literary works by the subject are to be described and
commented on. Decisions have to be made on what to look at
in detail and what to pass by with just a mention. Wilson has
not thought this problem out. For instance, Till We Have
Faces, Lewis' treatment of the Eros and Psyche story and one
of his best-executed and most moving works, is merely
mentioned by Wilson, though it illuminates Lewis' spiritual
development, whereas Lewis' minor work Pilgrim's Regress is
looked at in considerable detail.
短阅读尽量不要错，这样就为长阅读争取了容错率。毕竟短阅读还是好做一点。
文正第一句话看似主题句要重点读，可是一看到第二句的BUT就知道
上当了
，第二句才是主题句。第三句话乍看不好懂，可是全文并没有在这里出题。看不明白也无妨。具体来讲这句说W是个什么人，他没有做到一件应该做的事情，NAMELY（“也就是”的意思）blablabla....
Wilson has not thought this problem out. 这句话里的this指代前句内容。后面的for instance，对举例后面部分取主语略读。其中的两个作品名称稍微留心定位下就好。
所以全文需要读的就2、3句话，筛选工作要在第一遍读的时候一边摄取信息就一边快速处理。阅读时间不能超过1分05秒

In Hardy‘s novels, various impulses were sacrificed to each other inevitably and often. Inevitably, because Hardy did not care in the way that novelists such as Line Flaubert or James cared, and therefore took paths of least resistance. Thus, one impulse often surrendered to a fresher one and, unfortunately, instead of exacting a compromise, simply disappeared. A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give way abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower. In this instance, the new impulse was at least an energetic one, and thus its indulgence did not result in a relaxed style. But on other occasions Hardy abandoned a perilous, risky, and highly energizing impulse in favor of what was for him the fatally relaxing impulse to classify and schematize abstractly. When a relaxing impulse was indulged, the style—that sure index of an author‘s literary worth—was certain to become verbose.

楼上这篇难死我，连词汇题都做错。得好好读读。下面是题目的解析。全文基本没什么取舍的阅读技巧，全部都要读，包括一些很难看的句子。
Which of the following words could best be ubstituted for ―relaxed‖ (line 13) withoutsubstantially changing the author‘s meaning?
(A) informal(B) confined(C) risky(D) wordy(E) metaphoric
答案不在relaxed那句话里，在最后一句话，说relaxing让其变得verbose可得答案wordy。
The passage supplies information to suggest that ts author would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about the novelists Flaubert and James?
(A) They indulged more impulses in their novels than did Hardy in his novels.
(B) They have elicited a greater degree of favorable response from most literarycritics than has Hardy.
(C) In the writing of their novels, they oftentook pains to effect a compromise among their various novelistic impulses.
(D) Regarding novelistic construction, they cared more about the opinions of othernovelists than about the opinions of ordinary readers.
(E) They wrote novels in which the impulse toward realism and the impulse awayfrom realism were evident in equal measure.
这题最然做对了可是也有点运气成分在里面。答案由instead of exacting a compromise这个插入语得出。

包括多选和句子选择，今天2道逻辑题2篇长阅读11篇短阅读共39题正确29道题。真实考试时候要是能有这样的正确率其实也够了，就怕在时间压力和心理压力的影响下正确率连7成也过不了。
屏幕阅读和纸笔阅读感觉还是相当不一样的。屏幕阅读的阅读速度和质量只能发挥纸笔水准的大约8成。还需改进。

填空题一道：
Hasidism is a _____ of Orthodox Judaism that _____ its rabbis in untraditional ways as spiritual leaders and workers of miracles.
空1： precept, branch, volume
空2： exalts, motivates, belies
看到大写字母，不管多熟悉如orthodox或者不管多陌生如Hasidism，都一律取首字母，不过可以推断前后两个专业名词都是某某主义。rabbis和clergy的一次差不多，一种神职人员。
开始做题，第一空一种主义是另一种主义的认知，或者分卷都不通，只有分支痛，原因说不上来，感觉上吧。重点在第二空。一开始做的时候没头没脑觉得条件不全。题目说H对rabbis做了一个动作，这个动作和精神领袖、奇迹工作者有关，而这两者都是正评价的感觉，所以动词要正评价。肯定不是belie，这个是负评价动词。exalt是正评价，可以选。motivate也是正评价的感觉但是其中没有逻辑上的必然性。H用精神领袖、奇迹工作的方式激励r，以及H把r赞扬成精神领袖、奇迹工作者。明显后者逻辑上更通顺。

expansive = 宽泛的
expensive = 贵的
囧死我

一道乍看上去不太好处理的两空题
Observable as a tendency of our culture is a withdrawal of _____ psychoanalysis: weno longer feel that it can solve our _____ problems.
Blank 1 enigmas in, belief in, rigor in
Blank 2 emotional, practical, philosophical
一开始怎么也看不明白，觉得Observable后面应该是个类似从句的东西，读到冒号前面傻眼了，主句呢？仔细一看发现是个完全倒装。还原后的句子应该是这样的：
A withdrawal of _____ psychoanalysis is observable as a tendency of our culture: .....
然后题目引刃而解。冒号前后同意重复，前面对psychoanalysis负评价withdrawal，后面有个no longer。所以空格1应该是个正评价的东西。后句的it指代psychoanalysis所以空格2和Problem一起应该就是心理分析能做到的事情，自然而然选emotional。后句主干结构we feel it can......其实就是对心理分析学的belief，空格一也出来了。

Numerous historical examples illustrate both the overriding influence that scientists' _____ have on their interpretation of data and the consequent _____ of their intellectual objectivity.
blank i prejudices, theories, instruments
blank ii impairment, coloration, reinforcement
空1的3个选项一个负评价，两个正评价，优先选比较unique的那个。通读整句话也感觉科学家们做了个对自己不太好的事情。所以Prejudices是可以放进这里的。第二空是和overriding influence并列的，所以应该也是个负评价，先别急，看看后面有没有负评价内容，有的话这空反而要填正评价，幸好后面木有负评价。那就交给空格了。看到选项impairment和coloration都是有点负评价的。但是Impairment负的更直接点吧。

楼主好强！！！！
