第十四部分
1) strive奋发奋斗，背下来implies exertion against great difficulty with persistent effort长期努力克服巨大困难, 如continues to strive for a lasting peaceful solution为持久和平而奋斗. 不要把exertion中的t写成了s
2) state声明，2个清楚，implies clearness and definiteness in saying清楚明确地说，如state one's objection to a proposal明确声明反对该提议 说2个清楚，是因为definite的解释就是clear，就像specific的解释就是detailed一样，
3) 比较need、require和同组的，这两个词不强调缺乏，而是强调必要，如everyone needs a friend, 如a situation that required drastic measures急剧措施. 同组的lack,want则相反，强调缺乏，如lack of courage=want of courage缺乏勇气
4) scold训斥，首字母3s，implies a rebuking in irritation，如relieved her frustrations by scolding the children训斥孩子。 因为rebuke斥责表示sharp and stern criticism，在第九部分part 9
5) select选择、discriminate鉴别互释。select是to choose with discrimination from a wide range of choices，如a store offering a wide selection of furniture多种家具供选择， 而discriminate解释是to distinguish and select what is true or excellent区分选择，如acquired discrimination by looking at a lot of art鉴别艺术品
6) sedate和composed都是镇静，互释。sedate表示a composed and decorous seriousness，如amidst the frenzy of activity the bride remained sedate保持镇静
7) 比较sign符号，和signal信号，sign传达信息知识，如sign language手语，signal传达指令警告，如wait for the traffic signal to change to green等交通信号灯变绿
