选项 8._________
A:scientific
B:common
C:technical
D:average
答案 B
解析 A项even if引导让步状语从句，词义是“即使”。B项as if(=as though）引导方式状语从句，词义是“好像”。C项as比较复杂，引导从句较多：(1)时间状语从句，词义是 “随着”;(2）原因状语从句，词义是“由于”;(3）方式状语从句，词义是“像、如、照”;(4）比较状语从句，词义是“与……（不）一样”;(5）让步状语从句，词义是“虽然，尽管”。D项even是个副词，不能用于引导状语从句，词义是“甚至于”。从主句和从句的关系看，应选A项表达让步最为适合。
take右边的“...action是固定短语，意为采取措施或手段”，因此应选B项 take。
句意：有时这纯属个人原因。 文中说：“有时纯属……原因”，很明显应选D项personal个人的、私人的、本人的。A项 obvious明显的；B项的economic经济的；C项own自己的，常用在所有格之后、加强语气。很明显这三项都不可取。
文中说：“他不想让他父亲……他在写诗”。很明显应选B项know知道，了解。A项understand理解、明白；C项recognize识别；认出；D项observe观察；遵守。很明显这三项都不合题意，不能选。
at other times是一个固定短语，词义是：“经常，平素，有时”。类似的短语还有：at a time（一次；同时；曾经）;at all time（不论什么时候，若是）;at no time（在任何时候都不，从来没有，决不）at the same time（在同时），等等。
空白处的左边有（大写的）人名，而且有逗号隔开；后面是动词wrote（写）起谓语作用。很明显应选B项who，是关系代词（指代其左边的人）用来引导非限制性定语从句、并在从句中作主语。A项whom作宾语；C项which置代物；D项that不能用于引导非限制性定语从句。
根据空白处的左和右都有逗号隔开，可推断这是一个典型需要副词的位置。在四个选项中只有C项however是副词，表示转折关系。A项but（并列连词）可是、但是；B 项although（从属连词，用于引导让步状语从句）虽然，尽管；D项and(并列连词）以及，和。很明显这三项都不可选。
the most common最普通、最常见的经常使用。A项scientific科学的，学术的；C项technical技术的，专门的；D项average平均的。这三项都不合语意要求，不可选。
句意：一个人的真名太长，以至于无法记住。 根据文中内容：“long and difficult to remember”，很明显是：too...to太……以至于不 ……的搭配使用。
根据空白处右边的to remember记，很明显应选D项easy容易；而不可能选A项pretty漂亮的；B项simple简单的；C项brief短暂的。
根据文中的：“for marketing（为了商品销售的……）”，很明显应选A项 purposes目的，侧重在通过决心、意志来达到某种效果；B项thoughts思想，想法；C项ends虽有“目的”的含义，但侧重在通过某些手段达到最终的结果；D项goals也虽有“目的”的含义，但侧重在方向和目标上。
根据前一句的marketing purposes（商品销售的目的），很明显应选A项的 market市场；而不可能是B项film电影、胶片；C项book书；D项city城市。
根据前半句中的doesn't sound(听起来不……），很明显在“does（起强调谓语作用）a lot better than（确实听起来比……好多了。）”中应选D项sound（听起来）。
根据文中的Artists（艺术家们）和the name（名字），很明显应先C项 choose（选择）；而不可能是A项give给予；B项change改变；D项mention提及。
空白处To结构（句首、大写、动词不定式符号，说明表示的是目的，要翻译成“为了……。”)；还有后面的this situation(这种状态——指上一句中的情况），很明显应选B 项avoid（避免）。A项admit承认；C项assure确认和D项affect影响，都明显不合逻辑表述。
