本题考查词义理解。“keep a lid on”出现在最后一段倒数第二句,表示对“日元升值”做的动作。下文提到具体做法是:日本中央银行忙于购进美元并且把这些钱转为政府债务。四个选项都是同一方向的表达,根据经济常识,应选[B],表示“限制日元的升值”。
第2题:
The word “devastating” (Line 3, Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to _____
[A] destructive [B] regretful [C] frustrating [D] terrible
本题考查词义理解。“devastating”一词出现在第二段末句,形容最近发生在联合国办事处的汽车炸弹爆炸事件的特点。该句指出,美国官员逐渐认识到过度分散的美国军队已无力独自承担防止这种事件的发生。第一段提到这类爆炸事件时,用了“策划日益精密(increasingly sophisticated)”来形容。由此可见,这类爆炸事件是极具破坏性的,因此引起了美国当局的极大重视。[A]正确,[D]表达含义太泛。

第4题:
The word “phonograph” (Line 5-6, Paragraph 1) most probably means_____.
[A] record player

[C] musical technique
[D] music culture
本题考查词意理解。“phonograph”一词出现在第一段第五句,该句指出,“‘phonograph’被发明以前,我们听不到任何音乐表演的声音,只能通过乐器研究过去的音乐文化”。由此可知,该词指的是一种能够记录声音并被用于音乐文化研究的物质。[A]为正确答案。[B]虽然也有声音,但无法用于音乐研究。此外,也可以通过词根词缀法猜测词意。phono-相当于sound,表示“声音”;-graph表示“书写、描绘或记录的器具,机械”。“记录声音的机器”就是“录音机”。
