【重点词条】

　　12.【中文释义】尽管管理的变化可能显得是预示了公司的命运的转变，更多的可能是它的影响微不足道。

　　【解题分析】上下句转折，上句谈这种转变可能会有作用，下句的主语是its impact，下句应对上句提出否定，答案e的 inconsiderable指影响力微不足道，表否定，成为正确答案

　　【重点词条】betray 1: to lead astray; esp: seduce2 2: to deliver to an enemy by treachery 3: to fail or desert esp. in time of need 4 a: to reveal unintentionally b: show, indicate c: to disclose in violation3 of confidence ~ vi: to prove false syn see reveal —— be.tray.al n —— be.tray.er n

　　inconsiderable able adj [F, fr. in- + considerable considerable, fr. ML considerabilis] (1637): not considerable: trivial —— in.con1.sid.er.able.ness n —— in.con.sid.er.ably adv

　　13.【中文释义】最近发现的一种古老的鸟的骨骼表明这个古代的动物，不象更早的鸟和爬行动物的祖先，它的头部没有牙齿，在这方面它比今天的鸟类提前了。

　　【解题分析】this ancient creature指代上文的 bird ，所以第一空格填 ancient 的同义词，可选a和 c，下文中又有了一次比较，可得知这个古代的鸟没有牙齿，而它和今天的鸟在有没有牙齿这个问题上是相同还是不同呢？当然，今天的鸟也没有牙齿，所以答案选 c。

　　【重点词条】foreshadow vt (1577): to represent, indicate, or typify beforehand: prefigure —— fore5.shad.ow.er n

　　14.【中文释义】尽管很多人使用顺势治疗法来解决健康问题，但其他人不支持另类治疗法，反而依赖传统的医药治疗。

　　【解题分析】第二空格为分隔结构，重复前文，alternate treatment 与 traditional medical treatments 又显然是反义词，故两空格应为同义词，可直接选择得答案c。

　　【重点词条】homeopathic 1: of or relating to homeopathy 2: of a diluted9 or insipid10 nature —— ho.meo.path.i.cal.ly adv

　　employ 1 a: to make use of (someone or something inactive) <~ a pen for sketching> b: to use (as time) advantageously c (1): to use or engage the services of (2): to provide with a job that pays wages or a salary 2: to devote to or direct toward a particular activity or person <~ed all her energies to help the poor> syn see use —— em.ploy11.er n 2em.ploy n (1666) 1 a: use, purpose b: occupation, job 2: the state of being employed
