　　篇一：

We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming does not take into account the fact that children develop at different can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-SO·bright r all，it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!

By "held back" (1ine 1)the author means

A made to remain in the same class

B forced to study in the lower class

C drawn to their studies

D prevented from advancing

本题考的是对词组hold back的理解。根据上下文，它的意思是"阻挡，阻碍"，选项D是正确答案。当然hold back还可以表示(1)"犹豫"，如I have noticed that you do not hold back in our discussion.(我发觉你在讨论时并不犹豫。)(2)"控制"，如The dam was not strong enough to hold back the flood waters.(大坝不够坚固，挡不住洪水。)(3)"保留，不公布"，如I think he's holding something back：He knows more than he admits.(我认为他还隐瞒了一些事情，他知道的'比他承认的多。)对照上下文，选项A、B、C都不能表达hold back的意义。

　　篇二：

Before the nineteenth century，scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings，but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.

For most people the sea was remote，and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea，there was little reason to ask many questions about it，let alone to ask what lay beneath the first time that the question "What is at the bottom of the oceans?" had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was engineers had to know the depth profile of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.

It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned，in 1853，for information on this the 1840s，Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific r，some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea..

The cable was laid，but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths，a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.

"Defied" in the last sentence probably means _____.

A doubted

B gave proof to

C challenged

D agreed to

本题是考查应试者根据上下文进行词义猜测的能力。defied是defy的过去式，根据最后一句可以推测它的词义，但必须完全读懂defied前后部分的意思：前一部分是说从海底捞出的电缆上覆盖着各种各样的生物，后一部分是当时的科学观点认为海底深处是没有生命的。由此可见，前一部分的"事实"(…，a fact which…)是"批驳"后一部分的"观点"。所以，选项C是正确答案。"challenged"这个词的原意是"向……挑战"，因而有"对……持异议""反对"的意思，其宾语常常是某种意见、观点或权威
