OG-454-S2-5: Just as glass windows offer buildings both light and insulation, certain atmospheric gases___ incoming sunlight and___ heat radiated from the ground, preventing warmth from escaping.
A. conduct…..release B.deflect…..transmit C. admit…..contain
D. absorb…..dispense E.resist…..trap
(正确答案：admit….. contain)
对于这个SAT填空题，首先通过as判断逻辑关系，其次找出关键词light和insulation，对应下面__ incoming sunlight和___ heat radiated from the ground，不难预判第一空格是有，第二空格是没有，依此需找答案，发现C是符合的，这里考察到了contain的一个生僻意，即抑制。而这个意思在考试中反复出现的，如：
2008.01-S5-3：The attempts of epidemiologists to___ the infectious disease ultimately proved futile: as soon as they managed to___ it in one community, it would emerge somewhere else.(正确答案：contain…check)
此处我们看出，总结出SAT填空题常考的多义词的常考意，可以达到知己知彼，很多题目就迎刃而解了。这个需要平时做题目时候多加积累，以下是笔者总结的多义单词，这些单词可能在SAT填空或者阅读的词汇题中出现：
bear: 包含
fashion: 形成
friend：赞助者
deliberate: 深思熟虑
address: 做演讲，指出
