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(yǔ)。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(shuō)明，在所考察的語(yǔ)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(yǔ)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(yǔ)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(guó)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(yǔ)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.
