2021军队职称英语考试指导：卫生类词汇精讲(7)

1.The substance can be added to gasoline to accelerate(B级)the speed of automobiles.
A)quicken B)shorten C)loosen D)enlarge
1.A.accelerate v.加速,促进,所以A(加快)是答案。shorten v.缩短,(使)变短;loosen v.解开,放松,松开;enlarge v.扩大,放大;词缀-en通常加在某些形容词的前面或后面，使其变成相应的动词，该词缀的含义是“使变得更加..”,如：enlarge就是“使变得更大/扩大”。
2.We should never content(B级)ourselves with only a little knowledge.
A)convince B)satisfy C)comfort D)benefit
2.B.根据句意(我们切不可…仅仅有一点点知识。)判断B(使满足)是答案。convince vt.使确信,使信服;benefit n.利益,好处vt.有益于,有助于;comfort n.安慰,舒适vt.安慰,使(痛苦等)缓和。
3.We should contemplated(B级)the problem from all sides.
A)deliberated B)thought C)described D)designed
3.A.借助搭配结构“…问题”排除B(think后通常带宾语从句或带介词)和D(D的词义为“设计”，因此D与“问题”搭配不合理)。根据句意(我们应该…问题的各个方面)判断A(仔细考虑)最合适。
4.His health had deteriorated(B级)while he was in prison.
A)became better B)became worse C)became stronger D)became weaker
4.B.借助搭配“健康…”，排除C和D(strong(强)和weak(弱)都不能与“health/健康”搭配使用，只有“身体”才说强弱)，再借助句意(在监狱服刑期间他的健康…)判断B(变得更糟糕)最合理。deteriorate v.(使)恶化。
5.How can we reduce the risk of cancer?
A)cut in B)cut down C)cut off D)cut out
5.B.划线词是基本词汇，其含义是“减少”，被选项是由同一动词组成的短语结构(提示：可以借助短语结构中某个单词的词义来推测短语可能具有的含义)，从“减少”这个词义来看，B最可能是答案(down有“向下”的含义)。该句的大意是“我们怎样才能降低癌症的风险?”。cut in是“插话”;cut down是“减少，削减”;cut off是“中断，切断”;cut out是“切去，删除”。
6.The steadily rising cost of labor on the waterfront has greatly increased the cost of shipping cargo by water.
A)continuously B)quickly C)excessively D)exceptionally
6.A.划线词steadily是“稳定地;不断地”，该词与A(不断地，连续地)是近义词。excessively是“过度地”;exceptionally是“例外地，异常地”，quickly是“很快地”。该句的大意是“劳动力成本的持续上升已经大大地增加了通过水路运输货物的费用。”
7.His new girlfriend had omitted(B级)to tell him that she was married.
A)failed B)deleted C)refused D)rejected
7.A.借助划线词的搭配结构特点—带不定式结构，判断A(fail to do sth./没有…)和C(refuse to do sth./拒绝做…)可能成为答案。从句意义上看“他新交的女友没有告诉他她结婚了。”更通顺，所以A是答案。omit是“遗漏，忽略，忘记”，delete(删去)和reject(拒绝，抵制)都是及物动词，后面必须带宾语。
8.If you want my advice,you should revise(B级)your plan for the trip to Beijing.
A)change B)exchange C)enlarge D)encourage
8.A.借助划线词所在的搭配结构“…你的计划”判断A(改变)最合适。该句句意是“如果你接受我的建议，你应该改变你北京之行的计划。”exchange是“互换，交流，兑换”;enlarge是“扩大，扩充”;encourage是“鼓励”，revise“修订，改变”。
