第3题：
The word “thaw”(Line 3, Paragraph 4) most probably means _____ .
［A］ aggravation of tension
［B］ improvement in relation
［C］ intensification in attacks
［D］ ending of coordination
本题考查词义的理解。第四段开始讲到矛盾的爆发。第三句but转折指出，...there were the first signs of a thaw，下文又以塞莱拉公司创始人认为对抗不好的讲话和一次癌症会议上双方的互相称赞为例，对该句话进行论证。可见他们的关系是改善了，所以［B］项正确。单词thaw意为“解冻”，与［B］项一致。其他项均是说不好的方面，与文意不符。
第4题：
The word “phonograph” (Line 5-6, Paragraph 1) most probably means_____.
［A］ record player
［B］ radio
［C］ musical technique
［D］ music culture
本题考查词意理解。“phonograph”一词出现在第一段第五句，该句指出，“‘phonograph’被发明以前，我们听不到任何音乐表演的声音，只能通过乐器研究过去的音乐文化”。由此可知，该词指的是一种能够记录声音并被用于音乐文化研究的物质。［A］为正确答案。［B］虽然也有声音，但无法用于音乐研究。此外，也可以通过词根词缀法猜测词意。phono-相当于sound，表示“声音”；-graph表示“书写、描绘或记录的器具，机械”。“记录声音的机器”就是“录音机”。
