Keys:
(1)由上文gathered its legs under itself 看到pounced = moved by gathering its legs under itself,即= jumped :
(2)潮湿的游泳衣,放在阴暗的箱子内,一周之久,会怎样?当然发霉了。
故,mildew = mold or rot (as a result) .

(5)kinetics = study of body motion as related to speech (同位语往往就是某个词汇的说明 或定义 .)

(11)在对比Mother和principal的描绘中,使用了三个形容词 ,即:tall 对shorter,middled aged对older,那么fat不就是对plump吗 ?因此plump = fat 这里使用了排除法)。

(14)从上下文推出drives = needs = impulse(冲动)。
(15)从上下文推出 :这个小语篇中的trigger = cause ,而cue又= trigger .
(16)从上下文推出 :integral = necessary即 integral = whole,cannot be separated,essential.
