96年10月section 2
1.【中文释义】
由于被研究的猴子习惯了人的存在，所以他们通常会忽略人的观察而我行我素。
【解题分析】
第二个空格后第三个单词and是个小连接，and后的go about their business是“旁若
无 人, 我行我素 ”的意思，所以and前应为同样的含义，答案b为disregard human ob
servers, 即为旁若无人之意。

的
风格；但是，看起来似乎矛盾的是，他的演绎却一点没有失控。
【解题分析】
分号上半句中很明显判断词free and introspective 是主体词，所以下半句转折就应
针对free and introspective来进行。free的反义词为e的controlled. 解题时不必拘泥
于introspective这个音乐专业词汇，既然introspective和free为并列的小连接，那么
只需找free的反义词即可。事实上introspective的专业词意即为内心独白的，自由奔放
的，即兴发挥的。需要强调的是b的exuberant也有类似的专业词义。
