1. There was no denying the lecturer’s ------- , but her arguments were unsophisticated and ------- .

　　(A) bravura . . precise

　　(B) boorishness . . unoriginal

　　(C) charisma . . vapid

　　(D) competence . . infallible

　　(E) indifference . . benign

答案：C

解析：The structure of the sentence sets up a contrast between two ways of describing the lecturer. The fact that she had a charismatic, or magnetic, presence, does indeed contrast with the notion that the content of the lecture was unsophisticated and “vapid” or uninteresting

2. Since the two legislators had a long history of major disagreements, the senator considered his colleague’s enthusiastic assurances that they would be in agreement on a forthcoming piece of legislation -------.

　　(A) fatuous

　　(B) precious

　　(C) sagacious

　　(D) meritorious

　　(E) ignoble

答案：A

解析：Choice (A) is correct. It makes sense that the senator, in light of his and his colleague’s shared history of non-cooperation, would consider the colleague’s assurances “fatuous,” or complacently foolish.

3、According to the company spokesperson, the majority of the wrongful termination lawsuits filed against the company were -------, representing bogus claims made by ------- former employees hoping to strike it rich.

　　(A) legitimate . . disgruntled

　　(B) frivolous . . greedy

　　(C) uncommon . . surprised

　　(D) embarrassing . . contented

　　(E) warranted . . wise

答案：B

解析：Choice (B) is correct. For the company spokesman to describe the lawsuits as “bogus claims” implies that the company views these lawsuits as “frivolous,” or as having no sound basis. Moreover, as is indicated by the phrase “hoping to strike it rich,” the spokesman would likely want to characterize the claimants of these suits as “greedy,” or motivated by a selfish desire for wealth, rather than as people seeking fairness or justice.
