第三题题干中的单词draw是拽、拖、吸引的意思。A是去取来,B是带来,带着,D是推。只有C是吸引的意思。

第十题last需要跟前面的几个单词连起来看,千万不要单独就last选答案,这里是最后的意思,答案选C,过去的。close是位置上靠近的;near是靠近的;several是几个的意思。
第十一题的consequence可以直接查字典就可以知道是结果的意思,答案选result。AC是同义词,直接排出在外;D是基础的意思。
第十二题的realise大家都知道是意识到的意思,所以答案选A很简单。B是忘记;C是怀疑;D是记住。
第十三题的secure大家间的也比较多,是安全的意思,同义词是safe。A是干净的(前本身就不干净,难道真的害怕被虫蛀了?);B 是隐秘的(表面上对,但与原题无关。再说了,以后自己找不到怎么办?);C是遥远的(前不能藏在远处,要是那样谁会放心呢?)
第十四题的astonish是的难词,只能查字典了。首先A肯定不对,attack是攻击的意思,城市变化怎么能攻击人呢?逻辑不通。B让人吃惊,与原单词同义;CD同义词,一起排出,都是吸引的意思。
