Eject驱逐,逐出;弹出;喷射,排出;通常指驱逐某具体事物;
Escape逃跑,逃走;溢出;逃避;与from连用,但不能用于被动语态;
Erase擦掉,抹去,清除;erase sth. from sth.从…中消除某事的痕迹,其比喻意义用来表示“抹去”抽象的事物;
Omit省略,删节;遗漏,疏忽;也是指删掉具体事物。
3.翻译:旅游的乐趣,长期以来……了残疾人,现在正在对每个人开放。
答案:neglected
这句话很别扭,实际上就是表达这样一个意思,长期以来残疾人无法享受旅游的乐趣,但现在只要一个人想旅游,他就可以去任何地方(比如坐飞机等)。
句中the disabled残疾人——英美人不这么说,这有种蔑视的语气。他们说the disadvantaged弱势群体。——以上摘自新东方张亚哲词汇。

高频词讲解,Restrain
共出现3次,均作为陪考词出现。
vt. 1.抑制,遏制;2.(from)阻止,控制

辨析:
restrain, refrain
1.Refrain vi.自制,忍住;Restrain vt. 阻止,抑制; refrain from laughing = restrain laughter
2.Refrain = Restrain oneself,常指“自制以避免……”;restrain还可以指制止、控制他人。

真题讲解:
1.翻译:我们每个人掌握的知识是……的,所以每个人都不能排除犯错的可能。
Delicate微妙的;Restrained拘谨的;Controlled受限制的;Finite有限的。

答案:hindered
首先,听新东方张亚哲老师讲,看到restrain和refrain不用管它们,肯定不会考的。我总结了一下,restrain在05/12、99/6、98/1出现过三次,均作为陪考词出现;refrain在02/1、98/1出现过两次,也都作为陪考词出现;
其次,prevent不会考的,太简单了,搭配from;而且prevent意为妨碍时是vi.,不能用作被动语态;这里考的是be hindered阻碍,妨碍。

Peer同伴;细看,凝视(into);peer at = look carefully with difficulty很费劲的,如排雷;
Gaze凝视;gaze at凝视,盯;Scan浏览,扫描,搜索。
以上是我上次给出的答案,答案分析出自新东方张亚哲六级词汇的flash,亚哲张说此题出错了,因为近视眼应该是“眯”着眼睛看人,而不是“凝视”人。
沪友guoguo_lei同学认为应该选peer。我查了一下词典,解释如下:peer at sth./sb. : look closely or carefully, esp as if unable to see well。比如peer at sb. over one's spectacles带着眼睛认真打量某人~~~~
我觉得既然戴上眼镜了,那就应该不近视了吧?或者说选gaze是因为没戴眼镜?
那个~~~还望各位沪友各抒己见啦:)
