SAT阅读是SAT考试的重中之重,对于很多考生来说也是比较难以对付的,考生必须在70分钟的时间里阅读78篇字数不等的文章并回答67道问题,其难度和强度可想而知。因此我们要在平时加强SAT阅读练习,来看今天为你精选的一道SAT阅读试题。
Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.
Ray was ------- gambler who had seldom gone a day without indulging his expensive habit.
A. an inveterate
B. a dubious
C. an occasional
D. a novice
E. an obnoxious
Correct Answer: A
Heres Why:
Choice is correct. If this term were inserted into the sentence, the sentence would read Ray was an inveterate gambler who had seldom gone a day without indulging in his expensive habit. The term inveterate describes something that is established by a persistent habit. If Ray had ldquo seldom gone a day without gambling, one could certainly say that gambling was his persistent habit. Therefore, it makes sense to describe Ray as an inveterate gambler.
Difficulty: Medium
Question Type: Sentence Completions
