1．For those who knew her,there is no ambivalence whatsoever about Helena.It was either hatred or admiration.

A.discrimination

B.mixed feelings

C.alienation

D.hard feelings

【答案】B

【解析】句意：认识Helena的人不是讨厌她，就是崇敬她，没有其它模棱两可的感情。本题考查的是词义辨析，ambivalence[心理]矛盾情绪；正反感情并存，mixed feelings，复杂的感受，二者意思相近，故为正确答案。discrimination歧视；区别，辨别。alienation异化；疏远。hard feelings反感，怨气。

2．So far,the little we have been able to do has only slightly alleviated the situation.Eradication of the disease seems impractical for all the financial and technological resources we have at our disposal.

B.Modification

C.Definition

D.Termination

【答案】D

【解析】句意：到目前为止，我们能做的很少，而且只是稍微缓和了一下目前的情况，就我们目前的财力与技术来讲，彻底清除该病是不可能的。本题考查的是词义辨析，Eradication消灭，扑灭；根除。termination结束，终止。二者意思相近，故为正确答案。deportation驱逐出境；放逐。modification修改，修正。definition 定义。

3．For now,the only way to meet the world’s energy needs,and to arrest climate change before it produces irreversible cataclysm,is to use coal—dirty,sooty,toxic coal—in more sustainable ways.
