1.注意到句子中的冒号,说明前后句子说的是一个意思,也就是说前边的词要表达后边的意思,后边说他never tell a story,因为她会忘东西,可能说他说话不会像讲故事那样,不会妙语连珠,只是偶尔才会蹦出一两个好词,这种偶尔不正是scintillating吗?scintillating：闪烁的,冒火花的,表达的正是这样一个意境；本题主要是要把握冒号好后边句子的意思；
2.先来看后边的空,越被广泛吸引的东西,是什么样的产品呢?当然是受欢迎的了,其实就是appeal的同义词,因为假设这样的东西前后总有一个相承的关系,说白了就是同义词关系,后边一空确定了前边也就好说了,为什么说ironic呢?首先这个词ETS很喜欢,考的比较多,当然这里也是能解释通的,应该是事实上大众文化的情况和假设不一样,所以就ironic了；这里主要是要把握后边的同义关系；
3.注意到句子里边的indicate,表明前后是同义,ancient的同义词即是第一空；此时其实已经锁定答案C了,验证一下后一空,古老的生物当然要anticipate today's birds了；本题主要是把握同义关系找第一空答案；
鄙人拙见,还望见谅!
