53.答案:A
考点:本题考查动词辨析
解析:动词release(释放、赦免、发行)、record(记录、录音)、reserve(保留、预订)都不符题意。动词rewrite表示“重写、修改”,与动词revise同义,与本篇文话题相关。本题难度适中。
52.答案:A
解析:动词skip(跳远)、reject(拒绝、抵制)replace(取代)都不符题意。人们观看的是完美的表演,但表演之前作品经历了(undergo)多次修改,与上段的“Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process.”对应。本题难度适中。
51.答案:D
考点:本题考查介词短语辨析
解析:前面adding, deleting, replacing, reordering都是revising的方面,所以revising和这些名词同义;介词短语in other words表示“换句话说”。介词短语in particular(尤其、特别表强调)、as a result(因此,表结果)、for example(例如,表举例说明)都不符题意。本题难度适中。
50.答案:C
考点:本题考查名词辨析
解析:参照下文的“Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process.”和“However. don't make the mistake of skipping the revision stage”。名词technique(技术)、style(风格)、career(事业、生涯)都不符题意。本题难度适中。
