解析及答案

本题型的题目的一个难点就在于，很难单纯的通过词性或者单词的形式来判断所缺的空需要的词汇。这是与Reading: Fill in the Blanks题型最大的不同。这时候我们就只能借助于固定搭配和上下语境来确定选项了。

Q1. 第一题，全都是名词，而且全都是复数形式。那么我们只能从语境含义上来判断答案，这对大家的词汇量有一定的要求，所以不背单词肯定是不行的啦!sentiment 感情，情感;distrust 不信任;conviction 定罪，证明有罪;principle 原则，主义。联系上下文来看，前文提到CCTV能提供犯罪行为的相关图像，下文中也提到high-profile cases, 那么按照含义这里应该选择conviction. 其余选项的含义在此均不符合语境。同时这个题目也提醒各位同学，在平时的词汇累积中要注意同一单词的不同含义，有的同学只知道conviction有“坚信”的意思，那肯定就不知道这题该选什么了。

Q2. 和上一题类似，本题选项均为形容词，又是只能从语境含义上来判断答案。remorseful 悔恨的，懊悔的; guilty, 有罪的;innocent 无辜的;reprehensible 应当斥责的。快速的浏览上文，我们会发现上一句话在讲一个因为CCTV的影像证据被发现有罪;同时下文中有一个关键词”…again … as key evidence…”，说明这句话和上句话是互相呼应的，故应当选择guilty有罪的。但其实本题有一个快速的解法: find someone guilty/innocent是一个固定搭配，表示认定某人有罪/无罪，而remorseful和reprehensible是没有此固定用法的，可先行排除;联系上下会发现在此用guilty更符合语境，故答案是guilty。

Q3. be interpreted as, 被解读为; be elucidated as, (elucidate这个词几乎没有这个用法)被阐释为;be understood as, 被理解为;be represented as, 代表，表示为。从语境上和固定搭配的用法上可以发现interpreted符合上下文含义。

Q4. conclusive, 确凿的;decisive, 决定性的;influential, 有影响力的;delusive，有欺骗性的。这道题根据语境可以立即排除后面两个选项，很迷惑人的是前两个选项，conclusive和decisive本身就是近义词，好像哪个放在这里都能说得通的样子，到底该选谁呢?我们从这两个单词的英文含义来看一看：

Conclusive: Pertaining to a conclusion;

Decisive: Having the power or quality of deciding a question or controversy; putting an end to contest or controversy.

也就是说，conclusive更侧重的是结果、结论，而decisive更加侧重的是某事物具有的“决定性”的能力和特性。所以在本题中是decisive更加合适。

Q5. consideration, 考虑;scrutiny, 详细审查;immersion, 沉浸，专心;attention，关注。receive attention, 受到关注，是一个固定用法，语境也符合，所以此题的答案是attention。consideration虽然也有“关心”的含义，但是和receive搭配使用时，它表示的是“得到考虑、予以考虑”的含义，语境不符，所以肯定不是consideration哦。
