　　1.To keep up with the infrastructure ( ) the profession also needs to learn how to run large projects more effectively and efficiently in order to make the entire design-engineer-operate lifecycle digital.

　　A. boom

　　B. construction

　　C. boost

　　D. prosperity

　　【答案】B。词汇辨析，空缺处前面是infrastructure“基础设施”，一般情况下与之搭配的都是construction“建设”，两者形成固定搭配Infrastructure construction：基础设施建设。所以答案选B。

　　2.Land is a major social and political issue, very explosive and very much inclined to ( ) a lot of conflict in different parts of the country.

　　A. provoke

　　B. irritate

　　C. inspire

　　D. hoist

　　【答案】A。空缺处前面是to，可知应该填入的是动词，空缺处后面是conflict“矛盾”，可知应当是引发矛盾。选项A：激起、引发;选项B：刺激、激怒;选项C：鼓励、鼓舞;选项D：升起、吊起。所以A项的provoke a lot of conflicts“引发许多矛盾”更符合句意，所以答案选A。

　　3.Most of these resources are ( ) towards paper-writing and research projects.

　　A. encouraged

　　B. geared

　　C. motivated

　　D. hatched

　　【答案】B(geared)。词汇辨析。Gear to/towards，使...调整以适合...，根据原文，应该是做了一些调整，所以答案选B。
