1.The aroma of the freshly baked bread was so ------ that we were tempted to buy three loaves.
A. enticing B. unruly
C. convenient D. fabricated E. generic 解析：
本题是so..that 关系，因为so/such A that/as to B 的结构中A与B为同义关系或感情态度一致，所以从tempted“(被)吸引，诱惑”，可看出空格为对aroma的正向评价，因此答案为A选项 enticing “吸引人的”。
关于“吸引人的”的同义词有很多个，在这套试卷的section 5也出现了一个词“winsome”，除此之外还有： allure, appeal, spellbind, captivate, enchant, bewilder, entrance, enthral 它们都有吸引，迷惑的意思，这些都是SAT常考词汇.考生需要积累同义词。
2.Muddy Waters ------ a generation of musical ------: they imitated his innovative playing style and eventually solidified his reputation as a blues pioneer.
A. emulated .. followers B. chastised .. contenders C. resisted .. paragons D. fostered .. critics
E. inspired .. disciples 解析：
此题是解释关系题， 前后找到重复，比如冒号后的they指代的是第二空的复数名词，his指的是Muddy Waters这个人，所以从imitated “模仿” 可看出第二空可以在followers“追随者” 和 disciples “信徒” 中选择，再从最后的pioneer“先锋”可看出第一空是一个起 “促进，鼓励，支持”作用的动词，可在foster ed“促进”和inspire“鼓励”中选择。所以最后选择E选项。
同样关于先锋，祖先，先驱的同义词也需要学生记忆积累：祖先，先锋，先驱：ancestor, antecedent, forerunner, forebear, harbinger, precursor, predecessor, progenitor, vanguard, avant-garde
section 2
4. Some of the guests were positively ------, speaking disrespectfully to their host and generally exhibiting deplorable manners.
A.bemused
B.cursory
C.forlorn
D.incoherent
E.uncouth 解析：
空格对应disrespectfully“不敬地”和deplorable“应受责备的”，所以应填一个表示行为举止方面的负向评价，因此选E选项uncouth “粗鲁的”。
关于粗鲁的，无礼的近义词有：boorish, churlish, impudent, insolent, rude， 考生需要记忆。

A.an orthodox
B.an anachronistic
C.a fortuitous
D.a dilatory
E.a nefarious
解析：此题为解释关系题，空格对应冒号后的描述，通过happen“碰巧发生”可以判断空格填C选项fortuitous“偶然的，意外的”。偶然的，意外的同义词有：accidental, unintentional, haphazard, incidental, serendipity (n.)

2. Unlike most business historians, Smith is neither a defender nor an opponent of the companies she writes about; such objectivity is exceedingly ------ in this highly ------ field.
A.rare .. combative
B.common .. divisive
C.predictable .. complacent
D.surprising .. cooperative
E.typical .. cordial
解析：
这是一个双空题，such 这个指代的标志词告诉我们这个objectivit y一定是之前一句提过的内容，即 “neither a defender nor an opponent of the companies”。 通过Unlike most business histori ans(不像大多数企业史学家)可判断出第一空只能在rare“罕见的”和su rprising“令人惊讶的”中选择;第二空描述的是这个领域的大环境特征，所以填objectivity“客观中立”的反义词，因此选择A选项的combat ive“好争斗的”。关于好争斗的，好战的同义词有：bellicose, belligerent, contentious, militant, pugnacious
6. Derek's ------ nature worried his friends, who thought such fearlessness would one day lead him into danger.
