小编: 5617. Impede=restrict
显而易见的,这两个单词的原意似乎并不接近。前者是 to delay or stop the progress of sth 阻碍;阻止,更接近与hinder,hamper,是标准的书面语。Eg. Fallen rock is impeding the progress of rescue workers.
坠落的石头阻滞了救援人员的救援进程。
而restrict是 to limit the size, amount or range of sth,即限制,我们大家比较熟悉的意思。然而它还有一层意思,是大家不熟悉的,to stop sb/sth from moving or acting freely 即束缚;妨碍。这就说明,在所考察的语境中,后者的第二个意思和impede更接近。所以,这个答案的选项也就不让人意外了。所以再次提醒大家,TOEFL考察的是第二语言学习者,一次多义的情况很多见,大家做题的时候要进行语境还原,避免一叶障目的错选。
8. decipher=figure out
Decipher:to succeed in finding the meaning of sth that is difficult to read or understand 破译,辨认(难认、难解的东西)
Eg: The Warring States script is very difficult to decipher.
战国文字就像古老的密码,很难破译.
Figure out是to think about sb/sth until you understand them/it 弄懂;弄清楚,更接近于work out
Eg. I can't figure out how to do this.
我弄不懂怎样做这件事。
9. burgeoning=increasingly
Burgeon为动词发芽(=sprout),可以积累这样的词组:burgeoning company 新兴公司 burgeoning industry新兴产业。
10. uniformly=consistently
Uniform n.校服;制服 a.一致的前缀uni-表示"一个,单一"unilingual a. 只用一种语言的。
Eg. The middle button of his uniform jacket was strained over his belly.
制服上装中间的纽扣在他的肚子上绷得紧紧的。
The price rises will not be uniform across the country.
