参考答案及解析:
1.The correct answer is C
Explanation
The structure of the sentence sets up a contrast between two ways of describing the lecturer. The fact that she had a charismatic, or magnetic, presence, does indeed contrast with the notion that the content of the lecture was unsophisticated and “vapid” or uninteresting.
2.The correct answer is D
Explanation
The world was accustomed to “violence” and expected rioting and bloodshed, but this time the change of government was, on the contrary, “uneventful.”
3.The correct answer is A
Explanation
Choice (A) is correct. It makes sense that the senator, in light of his and his colleague’s shared history of non-cooperation, would consider the colleague’s assurances “fatuous,” or complacently foolish.
4.The correct answer is D
Explanation
Town officials certainly might have "reinstated," or restored or brought back, the annual parade in response to great "outcry," or vehement protests, from the town's residents over the cancellation of the event.
