例3：There has been much hand-writing about how unprepared American students are for college. Graff reverses this perspective, suggesting that colleges are unprepared for students. In his analysis, the university culture is largely (i)______ entering students because academic culture fails to make connections to the kinds of arguments and cultural references that students grasp. Understandably, many students view academic life as (ii)______ ritual.

　　Blank (i)

　　primed for

　　opaque to

　　essential for

　　Blank (ii)

　　an arcane

　　a laudable

　　painstaking

　　此题两个空格是孤立的，可以分别通过与各自相关的逻辑关系来进行推断。空格(i)可以通过第一、二句话的描述来进行推断，同时也可以用 “because academic culture fails to make connections to the kinds of arguments and cultural references that students grasp”进行推断，表示的是对学生来说“unprepared”的意思，即负面的评价，所以答案为“opaque to”。同理，空格(ii)也要表明学生对学术生活“不理解”的态度，因此答案为“an arcane(known or knowable only to the initiate)”。 例4：Most artists maintain an attitude of (i)______ toward their own work. They know, better than any critic would know, how their art (ii)______ their ambitions. The artist would demand of his admirer, Do you really think this is the best I am capable of? Henri Cartier-Bresson’s dismissal of his life’s work in photography, however, is (iii)______: it seems almost contempt, or even hatred, not just for his achievement but for the medium itself.
