The word “passing”(Line 7, Paragraph 1) most probably means_____.
[A] instant [B] trivial [C] simple [D] negligible
[精解] 本题考查词义理解。passing一词出现在第一段第四句。其上文提到,“债券交易员得到的两条建议有两处细微的缺陷。第一点是要从现任联邦储备局主席的嘴里听到精确而有分量的话不只是……的困难(more than passing difficulty)”。显然这一内容是针对上文第二条建议(即,美国联邦储备局前主席说的话都是金玉良言)而讲的。由“缺陷”(drawbacks)一词可知,从现任联邦储备局主席那听到金玉良言是非常困难的,这种困难不是“微不足道的”,因此[D]正确。

第15题:
The word “phonograph” (Line 5-6, Paragraph 1) most probably means_____.
[A] record player
[B] radio
[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”。
