解题小贴士

2. 【B】    

前缀pre =before, pre (before) + sent（being存在）= 现在的（在眼前），precaution 预防（事前的准备），pre (before) + pare (to get ready) = 准备，dict=to say, prediction意为“事先说，预测”。所以此题选B，题目译文为“那是第一次要在英国核能源站不得不采取这种预防措施。”    

3. 【B】    

前缀dis-=apart, away, dis- (apart) + pose (to place) = 陈列，排列，处置（个别放置），dis- (to deprive of) + courage = 使气馁，使沮丧（剥夺勇气）；discard，掷出无用的纸牌，抛弃，丢掉之意。B)为正确选项，题目译文为“许多呼声甚高的球员在网球场上没出现。”    

4. 【A】

5. 【B】    

trans=beyond, across, over; transmission，传输，传达；transformation，变形，变质；trans- (across) +port (to carry) +tion（名词后缀）=输送，运送。所以正确答案为B，题目译文为“20世纪见证了一次全球性的政治、经济、文化的变革。”
