【解析】superficial意为”表面的，肤浅的”，正好与后面的deep构成语意上的对比，符合本题题意，如：His wound was only superficial and soon got well．他只伤在表皮，不久就好了。identical作”相同的，一致的”讲，如：The fingerprints of no two persons are identical．没有两个人的指纹是完全相同的。original意为”原来的，最初的”，如：The original plan was better than the plan we followed．原来的计划比我们采用的计划要好。critical则作”批判性的，紧要的”讲，如：His condition is reported as being critical．据报告他的病情严重。

2．【答案】B

【解析】concise意为”简洁的”，常与clear并列出现，指文章”清楚而又简洁”，如：This is only a concise survey of English literature．这只是对英国文学的简要概述。conventional作”传统的”讲，如：Modern rugs are better looking than the conventional ones．现代的地毯比传统的地毯更好看。creative意为”有创造性的”，如：Creative imagination is needed for this job．这项工作需要创造性的想象力。crucial则意为”决定性的，关系重大的”，如：At the crucial moment，a single mistake will destroy the whole plan. 在紧要关头，一个小错误会毁了整个计划。

3．【答案】C

【解析】rough意为”概略的，大致的”，如：I’ve a rough idea where it is．我大致知道它在哪里。coarse作”粗糙的，粗鲁的”讲，如：The priest wore a coarse woolen garment next his skin．牧师贴身穿了一件粗糙的毛衣。rude意为”粗鲁的，无礼的”，如：Don’t be so rude to your father．不要对你父亲那样无礼。crude意为”粗制的，未经提炼的”，如：The production of crude oil this year has increased by 10％．今年原油的产量增长了10％。

4．【答案】C

【解析】be bound to 意为”必定，一定”，符合题意，如：It’s bound to rain soon．不久一定会下雨。而obvious作”明显的，显而易见的”讲，如：It’s obvious that two and two make(s)four．2加2等于4，那是明明白白的。be indispensable to意为”必不可少的，必需的”，如：Air，food and water are indispensable to life．空气、食物和水是维持生命所必需的。doubtless意为”确定无疑的”，如：It is doubtless that he has mistaken my intention．他无疑误解了我的意思。
