time.
A.reasonable C.creative
B.confident D.grateful
答案 A [首先了解四个选项的意思。A项reasonable表示“合理的;公平的”;B项confident表示“自信的”;C项creative表示“有创造力的;创造(性)的”;D项grateful表示“感激的”。由破折号后面的关键信息可知说话者对“finish all this work in so little time”很不满,要求讲道理。be reasonable为祈使语气,意为“要讲道理”。题干的意思是:“要讲道理——你不能期望我在如此短的时间里完成所有这些工作呀。”] 3.(2012·湖北卷)Can you tell the ________difference between the words“require”and
“request”?I sometimes get puzzled by their meanings. A.dramatic C.apparent

答案 D [首先了解这四个选项的汉语意思。A项dramatic表示“戏剧的;激动人心的”;B项regional表示“地区的;区域的”;C项apparent表示“明显的”;D项subtle表示“细微的;微妙的”。题中的关键信息为get puzzled,既然对两个词的意思差别很困惑,就说明差别不大,所以选D,subtle difference“细微差别”。“差别”与dramatic以及regional无关,根据意思也可排除C。句意:“你能区分require和request两词的细微差别吗?我有时对它们的意思很困惑”。]
