【正确答案】 F
【答案解析】本句是说“学术交流对于社会经济进步是有必要的。”句中有一定的指对关系,故选F。
【正确答案】 B、L
【答案解析】本句和上半旬联系较紧,同属于被动语态,因为它们是并列关系,故be动词省略,后直接加动词的过去分词。经上下文分析后L项适合本空。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】由转折连词but可知像这样的辩论举行过多项,但是却没有什么新意,故nothing适合本空。
【正确答案】 A、K
【答案解析】本空所在的句子各主要成分俱全,能适用于此的只有K,always这个副词。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】in search of为固定搭配,意为“研究,探索”,最符合句意。
【正确答案】 J
【答案解析】most最高级后修辞形容词,在所有形容词中J项最适合本句,J项是动词原形接ing变为形容词。
【正确答案】 C、M
【答案解析】in short表示该句和上句所表达的意思相近,所以不难断这些学生是在寻求seeking学术交流的最可能的途径。故选M。
【正确答案】 H
【答案解析】既然是学术交流,那么学术上的活动以及个人的意见都会是exchange的,故H项符合本空。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】这一空主要是辨析好groups及crowds的意思即可。crowd指略含拥挤的人群,而group则无此意,故选N。
【正确答案】 I
【答案解析】本空可根据后面的选择连词or来选择I项,表示几者中选择一项。
