7. Impede=restrict

顯而易見的，這兩個(gè)單詞的原意似乎并不接近。前者是 to delay or stop the progress of sth 阻礙；阻止，更接近與hinder，hamper，是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的書面語。Eg. Fallen rock is impeding the progress of rescue workers.  

墜落的石頭阻滯了救援人員的救援進(jìn)程。

而restrict是 to limit the size, amount or range of sth，即限制，我們大家比較熟悉的意思。然而它還有一層意思，是大家不熟悉的，to stop sb/sth from moving or acting freely 即束縛；妨礙。這就說明，在所考察的語境中，后者的第二個(gè)意思和impede更接近。所以，這個(gè)答案的選項(xiàng)也就不讓人意外了。所以再次提醒大家，TOEFL考察的是第二語言學(xué)習(xí)者，一次多義的情況很多見，大家做題的時(shí)候要進(jìn)行語境還原，避免一葉障目的錯(cuò)選。

8. decipher＝figure  out

Decipher：to succeed in finding the meaning of sth that is difficult to read or understand 破譯，辨認(rèn)（難認(rèn)、難解的東西）

Eg: The Warring States script is very difficult to decipher.

戰(zhàn)國文字就像古老的密碼,很難破譯.

Figure out是to think about sb/sth until you understand them/it 弄懂；弄清楚，更接近于work out

Eg. I can't figure out how to do this.

我弄不懂怎樣做這件事。

9. burgeoning＝increasingly

Burgeon為動(dòng)詞發(fā)芽（=sprout），可以積累這樣的詞組：burgeoning company 新興公司 burgeoning industry新興產(chǎn)業(yè)。

10. uniformly＝consistently

Uniform n.校服；制服 a.一致的前綴uni-表示"一個(gè),單一"unilingual a. 只用一種語言的。

Eg. The middle button of his uniform jacket was strained over his belly.

制服上裝中間的紐扣在他的肚子上繃得緊緊的。

The price rises will not be uniform across the country.  

全國各地的價(jià)格漲幅將不會(huì)劃一。
