答案详解

1.[B]【解析】动词近义词词义辨析。overwhelm表示“（在感情上）打垮某人，使……受不了，使……不知所措（通常用于被动语态）”；catch用于被动语态意为“被……感染；感受……”；preoccupy意为“使……全神贯注，迷住”；embarrass意为“使……困窘，使……难为情”。B项符合题意。句意：这对老夫妻极度悲伤，因为他们的儿子在战争中死去了。

2.[D]【解析】不同动词与同一介词搭配词义辨析。talk...int为“劝说，说服某人做某事”（同样用法的搭配有“frighten...into,trick...into,force...into,persuade...into,shock...into”）。D项符合题意。let...into为“对……吐露秘密”，ask...into的搭配是错误的，正确的搭配ask sb. to do为“要求某人做某事”，tell...into是错误搭配。句意：杰克成功说服了他的父亲为他买了一台新电脑。

3.[A]【解析】动词词义辨析。exaggerate为“夸大，夸张”；grant为“承认”；imply为“暗示，暗含”；remedy为“治疗，矫正”。根据题意，只有exaggerate合适，应该选A项。句意：多数评论家认为电视收到了不公正的批评，并争辩认为媒体的力量被夸大了。

4.[A]【解析】介词短语词义辨析。in accordance with为“按照，根据，与……一致”之意；in the vicinity of为“与……接近，在……附近”之意；in collaborate with为“与……合作”之意；in quest of为“寻找，寻求”之意。因此，只有A项符合题意。句意：按照合同，房客有必要装修房屋。

5.[C]【解析】形容词词义辨析。eligible为“有被选举资格的，适当的”，通常的搭配为“eligible for...”和“eligible to do...”；inclusive为“包含的，算在内的”；permissible为“可允许的，无妨的”；admissible为“可接受的，可采纳的；值得考虑的”。C项符合题意。句意：规定称任何一个人任职满三年都没有再次选举的资格。
