3. Hundreds of years ago cloves (丁香)were used to remedy headaches.A) disrupt B) diagnose C) evaporate D) cure
答案及解析: D. 解题思路：备选答案均为动词，关注原句中的宾语headaches(头痛)。解题思路：在习惯搭配上，B和D都可带“疾病类”的词作宾语，但头痛不用diagnose (诊断)，却可cure (治疗)头痛，所以答案为D。
另外diagnose 的用法是：diagnose… as...，如：The plastic surgeon diagnosed my illness as a rare bone disease./整形外科医生诊断出我的病是一种罕见的骨病。
4. Experts generally agree that diet has an important bearing on ones health.
A) result B) factor C) cause D) influence
答案及解析: D。 解题思路：从习惯搭配的角度解题：只有D才能和介词on搭配使用。
补充：
influence n. (常与on连用)影响力;感化力; vt. 影响
e.g. Many a woman has had a influence upon her husband. 许多妇女对其丈夫有影响。
Bearing: n. (与on, upon连用)关系

5. Mary was compelled to take in washing to help support her family.
A) pleaded B) appealed C) forced D) instructed
答案及解析: C. 解题思路：借助句意：Mary。。在家里帮别人洗衣服以帮助养家糊口。而C的含义最合适句意。被选项中：
补充：
appeal常用appeal to sb./sth.的结构，表示：“呼吁，恳求，吸引，引起兴趣”;to appeal for aid/求助;
plead是 “恳求，托词，以…作藉口，为…辩护;为…抗辩”，plead the rights of the unemployed /为失业者的权利据理力争;
instruct教;通常的用法是：instruct sb. in sth. 如：instruct a class in history /教授一个班的历史;(常与to + inf连用)命令，如：instruct sb. to start early /命令某人早动身
take in: v. 接受, 吸收, 理解, 欺骗

6. They had a far better yield than any other farm miles around this year.
A) goods B) soil
C) climate D) harvest
答案及解析: D。在该句中yield 是用作名词(因为该词的前面有不定冠词a)，解题思路：抓住句子中与划线部分相关的结构或用词特点。能与不定冠词a搭配使用的被选项只有C和D(气候，倾向， 风气，如：a mild climate温和的气候)。再借助句子中其他特征词：farm，判断harvest“收成”是答案。
