5. A)【句意】那位艺术家和那位作家都曾试图描绘日落的壮美。

【难点】A)、B)、C)选项都可以表示“描写,描述”之意。describe和narrate都指通过说和写来描述。describe是通过对人或物的外表、细节的描述来说明人、地或物的外貌;narrate“叙述,描述”,将故事的细节加以适当的排列使听众或读者了解所发生的一切。depict除了describe所表述的含义之外还可以指用绘画、雕刻等方式来描述,该句主语是艺术家和作家,故选用法更广的depict。D)tell意为“告诉,说出”。

【难点】block意为“阻挡,堵塞”,常用来指具体的,有形的事物;prevent意为“阻挡,阻止”;hamper意为“妨碍,阻碍,牵制”,搭配词组有:hamper sb. from(doing)/in sth.意为“妨碍某人(干)某事”;stop意为“阻止”,与from连用。

18. C)【句意】如果你不按照合同完成这项工作,我就会起诉到法庭要求赔偿。

【难点】sue意为“起诉”,后接for;accuse后接介词of,既可用于口语中的“指责某人做错了某事”,也可指通过法律手段“正式起诉某事的违法行径”;charge后接介词with,指“在法庭上正式指控某人的犯罪行为”;complain意为“抱怨,抗议”,一般用作不及物动词。

23. D)【句意】苏格兰跟英国其他地方一样,义务教育从5岁开始,16岁结束。

【难点】compelling,forced和obliged均含有“强制”之意,因此不符合题意;compulsory意为“必修的,规定的,强迫的”,强调根据法律或命令必须执行的事。

24. C)【句意】这种鸟的奇特筑巢方式使其有别于其他鸟类。

【难点】differentiate的主语也可以是人,此时可与distinguish或discriminate换用。此外,differentiate的主语还可以是具备某种品质或特征的事物;distinguish指通过辨别事物的特征区别其他事物,通常与between/among/from连用;discriminate指分辨出细微差别;distinguish与discriminate的主语通常为“人”;differ意为“不同”。

25. D)【句意】如果你穿着网球鞋进入皇宫,他们会认为你古里古怪。

【难点】strange,odd和peculiar都是指“非常的,不平凡的”。strange指无法接受或理解的“奇怪”,是一般用语;odd意为指奇怪得令人迷惑不解;peculiar尤指令人烦恼或不愉快的“奇怪”,“古怪”。根据词义,eccentric的语气最强,且专指个人行为或思想的古怪,综上所述;D)项为最佳答案。
