    答案及解析:
    1. 譯文：作為主席，他缺乏判斷力和政治敏感性。
    解釋：名詞辨析。Judgement“判斷力”。Interpretation“解釋”。Commentary“注釋，評(píng)論”。Explanation“解釋，說(shuō)明”。故答案為A.
    2. 譯文：是何人在何時(shí)最早在西印度群島定居是考古學(xué)家們一直在爭(zhēng)論的話題。
    解釋：固定搭配。A matter of debate表示“一個(gè)爭(zhēng)論的話題”。Debate在這里用作名詞。故答案為D.
    3. 譯文：在人們心中也許認(rèn)為語(yǔ)言、文化、性格彼此互不相關(guān)，但事實(shí)上他們彼此密不可分。
    解釋：形容詞辨析。Indistinct“不清楚的、模糊的”;separate“分開的，單獨(dú)存在的”，一般與from搭配;independent“獨(dú)立的，不相關(guān)聯(lián)的”，與of搭配;irrelevant“不相關(guān)的，不切題的”，一般與to搭配使用。故答案為C.
    4. 譯文：一旦你思想上錯(cuò)誤的認(rèn)為有攔路虎存在，你將事事難成。
    解釋：固定搭配。 A lion in the way表示“攔路虎”的意思。注意不要受中文思維影響直接就譯為tiger哦~~~
    5. 譯文：我最得意的一個(gè)學(xué)生被另一所大學(xué)拒絕了。
    解釋：動(dòng)詞辨析。Reject“拒絕接受某人做某事”，如拒絕候選人，拒絕申請(qǐng)，拒絕求婚等;deny“否認(rèn)，拒不給予某人所求之物”，搭配是deny sth. to sb.;exclude“阻止某人參加某事，把某人排除在外;排除可能性”;forbid“禁止”。故答案為B.
