例1、(OG Authentic
Given the flood of information presented by the mass media, the only way for someone to keep abreast of the new is to rely on ______ accounts.
(A) synoptic
(B) abridged
(C) sensational
(D) copious
(E) lurid
(F) understand
KEY: AB
关键字：given表示因果，the only way特殊否定空格中应该填入一个形容词，用来修饰accounts。前后两句话之间通过given来连接，表示“鉴于……”，构成因果同义关系。但后半句中有the only way作为特殊否定词存在，因而应该选择与对应词语相反意思的词语填入空格中。前面说现今的信息很多，那后面所应该填入的就是一种“少”的信息，这样才能够让人们能够有足够精力去“keep abreast of the new”。词语解释：
[1].(A) synoptic：(概要的)affording a general view of a whole
[2].(B) abridged：(删减的)shortened in duration or extent
[3]. (C) sensational：(轰动的)exceedingly or unexpectedly excellent or great
[4]. (D) copious：(丰富的、多的)a : yielding something abundantly ;b : plentiful in number
[5]. (E) lurid：(萎靡)wan and ghastly pale in appearance
[6]. (F) understand：词性错误，不应该填入动词to grasp the meaning of
