5. Actual events in the history of life on Earth are accidental in that any outcome embodies just one ----- among millions; yet each out-come can be ----- interpreted.
(A)coincidence.. randomly
(B)relationship.. predictably
(C)fact.. readily
(D)happening.. uniquely
(E)possibility.. rationally
(answer: E; wrong: D)

35. REFUTATION:
(A) approval
(B) verification
answer: B; wrong A

请问为什么不是我选的答案呢?先谢过了

5、主句是Actual events are accidental,前一个空格找accidental的同义词,后面一个找accidental的反义词(因为有个yet),前面那个选DE都ok,只是后面那个空的问题,E是理性的,D是唯一的,我个人感觉唯一的对应偶然的不太准确,偶然出现存在一种机会性和运气在里面,是不能用理性思考得到的,选E会更加合适。如果是唯一的,那么偶然出现的这种机会性得不到对应,所以不够明确。

35、查韦氏字典
refutation: the act or process of refuting
refute:
1 : to prove wrong by argument or evidence : show to be false

approval:to accept as satisfactory

verification:
1 : to confirm or substantiate in law by oath
2 : to establish the truth, accuracy, or reality of *verify the claim*

refutation可以说是通过证明发现它是错的;而verification是通过证明说它是对的,对应反义。approval因为满意而接受它是对的。

第一题:in that 是同义重复的标志词,后接从句应该是与accidental广义的同义词,possibility正好满足,有一种不确定的含义,与accidental有关。happening在这里是个中性词,与题干没什么关系,GRE的填空题不是读得通就是对的,这一点切记!
第二题:refute——prove the falsity or error of(a statement etc. or the person)
verification——the process of an instance of establishing the truth of validity of something
你不觉得falsity和truth对应的很整齐么?
