　　参考答案及解析：

　　1.The correct answer is A

　　Explanation

　　The sentence indicates that Sondra knew that Mark often did not “follow through” and do things he had promised to do. Therefore, it makes sense to suggest that Sondra “appreciated the offer” but was “more wary than grateful,” or more distrustful and cautious than thankful, when Mark pledged to help with the project.

　　2.The correct answer is C

　　Explanation

　　Natalie, an “altruistic” person, would lament the attitude of a greedy and ambitious colleague whom she would describe as “mercenary.”

　　3.The correct answer is D

　　Explanation

　　The term “histrionics” in this context refers to Forrest’s theatrical performances as well as to the emotional outbursts that likely accompanied his temper.

　　4.The correct answer is E

　　Explanation

　　Only the term “forbidden” describes the types of activities that would appeal to a “rebel” who likes to “defy taboos,” or go against social customs.

　　5.The correct answer is C

　　Explanation

　　Choice (C) is correct. The mayor was confident about her campaign, so it makes sense to suggest that she felt her political platform would “prevail,” or triumph. The phrase “less...than” indicates that as a result of her confidence, the mayor found her opponent's popularity to be less than a threat; she considered it a mere “distraction.”

　　6.The correct answer is B

　　Explanation

　　The key to the sentence is the word "Although," which suggests a contrast of some sort between what Suzette's parents believed and what her teachers thought. Choice (B) is the only pair of contrasting terms. In this context, "brilliant" means defined by striking and unusual mental keenness, and "unremarkable" means ordinary and unimpressive. The sentence indicates that the teachers did not share the parents' opinion: Suzette's parents believed everything their daughter produced was striking and unusually smart, but her teachers thought her work was ordinary and not deserving of special notice.
