答案及解析：
1. D [解析]名词辨析。accomplice同谋者，帮凶。confederate同盟者，同盟国；adversary敌手，对手；betrayer叛徒，背叛者。[译文]由于他提供凶器给罪犯，因此以杀人罪共犯的身份被逮捕。
2. C [解析]近义词辨析。assent，consent，accede三个词都有“同意’的意思，都可以用作v. + to+ sth. 但意义略有不同。assent侧重于同意的结果是经过深思熟虑的；accede指一个人或一组人由于另一方的坚持而做了让步，consent指自愿地默认另一个人的建议或愿望，如：Her parents refused to consent to her marriage.她的父母拒绝默许她的婚姻。C项最符合题意。dissent不同意。[译文]如果我同意此次的勒索的要求,恐怕我就会成为将来更多勒索的牺牲者。
3. A [解析]近义词辨析。虽然embark，initiate，begin三个词都含有“开始”的意思，但其中只有embark必须和on构成固定搭配表示“开始”。
4. C [解析]固定用法。be prone to易...的；倾向于...的，如：She is prone to colds. 她易患感冒。intend和incline都为动词，intend to do打算，想要做...；cline to倾向于，趋于，如：I incline to fatness. 我有些发胖。be about to do将要，决定做...。
5. B [解析]动词辨析。obviate消除，排除。necessitate成为必要；entail使必需，使承担；protract延长。
6. C [解析]动词辨析。bestow与on搭配使用表示“作为礼物或荣誉赠与；授予”；infer推断；present介绍，引见，赠送；attach系上，贴上。
7. C [解析]固定搭配。from the horse's mouth表示从知情者本人那儿直接得到消息。[译文]告诉你，我知道琳达肯定会被提拔为经理，这个消息是老板亲口告诉我的，所以绝对可靠。
8. A [解析]动词辨析。equivocate通常为不及物动词，表示“支吾，含糊其辞”；suspend延缓，但因为suspend a weakening of federal power，不可能会引起anarchy(无政府主义状态)，所以，从逻辑意义上说，suspend不对。declare同样也不一定会引起anarchy。effect意为“实行，执行”，所以本题的正确答案为A。[译文]对联邦政府的权利进行削弱是完全可以接受的，但对此要谨慎小心，以免引起无政府状态，带来不良后果。
9. D [解析]形容词辨析。insincere虚假的。由句子的前半部分得知，He must have considered her statements to be truthful. 由于refuse to consider含有否定的意义，因此应该填candid(无偏见的，坦白的)的反义词。irrelevant不相关的，不切题的；facetious幽默的，滑稽的；mistaken犯错的，错误的。
10. A [解析]固定搭配。of no avail无用。
11. C [解析]近义词辨析。animate鼓舞；incline使倾斜使倾向于。辨析：incite和instigate都可用作v. + sb. + to do sth. 表示‘煽动”。但incite侧重于煽动起行动的愿望；instigate指构思或鼓励通常是罪恶或不合法的行动计划的实施，如：instigating a prison riot煽动狱内犯人暴乱。根据前半句Playing on strong national feelings可得知，incite最符合题意。
12. A [解析]固定搭配。stumble on/across偶然发现。
13. B [解析]固定用法。exchange sth. for sth. 交换。interchange(多人)相互交换；replace sth./sb. by/with替换，代替；convert使改变。
14. D [解析]近义词辨析。reject拒绝，抵制，驳回。yield生长，出产；abandon放弃，遗弃；renounce断绝关系。
15. A [解析]近义词辨析。acknowledge表示承认，(以问候语、微笑、点头等)表示认识(某人)，向(某人)打招呼。confess承认，通常指揭露对某人不利或有损坏的事，如：I have to confess that I lied to you. 我得向你承认我向你撒了谎。assent同意，赞同；attribute与to连用，表示“归因于”。
16. B [解析]近义词辨析。refrain from doing sth. 忍耐，节制，自制以避免。avoid sth./doing sth. 避免，消除；stop sb. from doing sth. 阻止某人(做某事)，妨碍；keep sb./sth. from doing sth. 阻止，防止，阻碍。
17. A [解析]名词辨析。self-deprecation自嘲。congeniality同精神，同性质；cynicism犬儒主义，玩世不恭；embarrassment困窘，阻碍。根据题意，应选与laugh at themselves同义的，所以选A。
18. C [解析]动词辨析。既然没有生物可以孤立地生存(no solitary, free-living creatures)也就是说必须依赖他人(dependent on others)。segregate使分开，使隔离；mimick模仿，模拟；parallel相应，平行。
19. D [解析]动词辨析。reinforce加强，增援，修补。fortify增强(体力，结构等)，增加；maintain维持，维修；defend防护辩护，防卫。[译文] Alaska的出卖，与其说是美国所施妙计的成功，不如说是因资金短缺、连自已本土海岸线都无法防卫的俄罗斯帝国采取的权益之计。
20. A [解析]动词辨析。recognize 认可，承认。trample踩踏，轻视；retrieve重新得到；approach接近，动手处理。
