詞匯例題解析：
    第一部分：詞匯選擇（第1-15題，每題1分，共15分）
    下面共有15句子，每個句子均有一個詞或短語劃有底橫線，請從每個句子后面所給的四個選項(xiàng)中選擇一個與劃線部分意義最相近的詞或短語。答案一律涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。
    1. He received penalty for drunk driving.
     A. pension B. fine
     C. complaint D. compensation
    B．線索：借助題干中核心結(jié)構(gòu)的詞義色彩縮小答案范圍。drunk driving是貶義詞，因此排除A和D。借助常見搭配：complain( make a complaint) of/about../抱怨..，排除C，所以答案是B（罰款）

    B. 分析：被選項(xiàng)特點(diǎn)特點(diǎn)—B和D是反義項(xiàng)，因此值得重點(diǎn)注意。Abundant的含義與 plentiful接近，都是“大量的”。
    Minor：在數(shù)量、規(guī)?；虺叽缟陷^少或較小的，在重要性、級別或程度上較低的：
