參考答案及解析：

1.The correct answer is B

Explanation

The archaeologist “never stayed at any one site long enough to get bored.” Her life can be described as “nomadic” or characterized by moving from place to place.

2.The correct answer is A

Explanation

A shower is gentle rain that waters crops, making them “flourish.” In contrast, the deluge of rain in a “violent” storm may damage crops and soil.

3.The correct answer is A

Explanation

Choice (A) is correct. We know that “striking and unexpected” describes both the actor’s rise and his decline; “sudden” fits with this description, as does “meteoric,” which means suddenly or temporarily brilliant.

4.The correct answer is D

Explanation

The comma indicates that the second clause of the sentence will support or restate the first clause. Only the term “enamored” reinforces the notion that doctors and their patients are “captivated,” or charmed, by “high technology” such as “computer-designed drugs and laser surgery.”
