答案 allowgrant意思最為接近，比較有爭議。grant指“同意；授予”時(shí)，強(qiáng)調(diào)對(duì)所提t(yī)oagreetogivesb.whattheyaskedforespeciallyformalorlegalpermission,如：grantindependence(準(zhǔn)許獨(dú)立)；grantthefranchisetoallcitizens(給予所有公民而allow則側(cè)重于permit。文中是說羅馬天主教的存在，故grant不正確。另外，都有“承認(rèn)”的意思，但都強(qiáng)調(diào)的是toadmitoragreethatsth.istrue,文中顯然討論的不是真實(shí)性的問題，故這里不能作“承認(rèn)”解，而且二詞作“承認(rèn)”講時(shí)往往后接that從句。因此，11題選擇AallowedPassage3（2008年Directions:Foreachnumberedblankintheflowingpassage,therearefourchoicesmarkedA,B,C,andD.choosethebestoneandmarkyouransweronANSWERSHEET1byblackeningthecorrespondingletterinthebracketswithapencil.(10points)Theideathatsomegroupsofpeoplemaybemoreinligentthanothersisoneofthosehypothesesthatdarenotspeakitsname.ButGregoryCochranis1tosayitanyway.Heisthat2bird,ascientistwhoworksindependently3anyinstitution.Hehelpedpopularizetheideathatsomediseasesnot4thoughttohaveabacterialcausewereactuallyinfections,whicharousedmuchcontroversywhenitwasfirstsuggested.5he,however,mighttrembleatthe6ofwhatheisabouttodo.Togetherwithanothertwoscientists,heispublishingapaperwhichnotonly7thatonegroupofhumanityismoreinligentthantheothers,butexplainstheprocessthathasbroughtthisabout.Thegroupin8areaparticularpeopleoriginatedfromcentralEurope.Theprocessisnaturalselection.ThisgroupgenerallydowellinIQtest,912-15pointsabovethe 10valueof100,andhavecontributed11totheinlectualandculturallifeoftheWest,asthe12oftheirelites,includingseveralworld-renownedscientists, 13.Theyalsosuffermoreoftenthanmostpeoplefromanumberofnastygeneticdiseases,suchasbreastcancer.Thesefacts,14,previouslybeenthoughtunrelated.Theformerhasbeen15tosocialeffects,suchasstrongtraditionof 16education.Thelatterwasseenasa(an)17ofgeneticisolation.Dr.Cochransuggeststhattheinligenceanddiseasesareintima y18.Hisargumentisthattheunusualhistoryofthesepeoplehas19themtouniqueevolutionarypressuresthathaveresultedin stateof [A][B][C][D] [A][B][C][D] [
