The group in __8__ are a particular people originated from central Europe.
A. progress B. fact C. need D. question
in question,指正在研究中的,这里指GC正在作为案例进行研究的犹太人。In fact显然不能表达科研案例的意思。
第15题:The former has been __15__ to social effects, such as a strong tradition of __16__ education.
A.given up B. got over C. carried on D. put down
词组put down to sth.,意为“归因于”,give up to/get over to/carry on to三个词组都没有指向原因的含义。包含有“归因于”意义的词组还有:on account of/owing to/due to/thanks to/lie in/rest with/be determined by/lie at sb.’s door/as a result of/because of doing sth.等。
第11和13题是典型的词语“辨析”题,一般采用排除法。
