(B) sedate

(C) sociable

(D) celebrated

(E) reclusive

参考答案及解析：

1.The correct answer is B

Explanation

The phrase “is to forget” implies that the belief described in the first part of the sentence is misguided or naïve. It makes sense to argue that the assumption that reforms can “eradicate,” or eliminate, all societal evils is overly idealistic because evil is “protean,” or capable of taking on a new “shape.”

2.The correct answer is A

Explanation

Although "Sylvia's ideas were new and creative," they "were not appropriate for the client's product." Therefore, it makes sense to say that the employer thought Sylvia's advertising campaign was "novel yet inapt," or original and new but not suitable.

3.The correct answer is D

Explanation

Only “methodical study” and “revolutionary change” match the ideas of “systematic examination” and “overturned entrenched beliefs.”

4.The correct answer is E

Explanation

Because "few people knew what the writer looked like or where he lived," it makes sense to say that Cormac McCarthy is known as "one of the most reclusive figures in literature." In other words, the writer has a reputation for being a recluse, or for leading a largely secluded or solitary life.
