解析：
1、即使依据公司自己的效率标准，它早期的年份也是非常多产的：在那最初的3年时期它每月的器具产量达到3百万之多。
解析：第一空没法入手，由主干大法得知必须先考虑第二空，冒号表示解释型同义重复。由冒号后面完整的信息推出第一空一定是正评价，同义重复后面完整的it manufactured as many as three million appliances a month during that three-year period.第二空选项中是正评价且能表达这个意思的只有C。
2、在19世纪，一些才华有限的作曲家由于成为期刊杂志的作者而被人崇拜，这些杂志期刊不仅给他们提供了挣钱的机会，也使他们的音乐观点出名。
解析：根据主干大法，exhibiting ____ skill是修饰主语composers的，所以先不看。先做第2空，第2空显然应该由by后面的所有成分来决定。afforded them an opportunity to earn money and to make their views about music known.是正评价的表述，所以第2空一定填正评价词，B的第2空一看就知道是绝对的正评价词，就算D有点干扰，比较一下第一空也能排除D。
3、文人们通常都不认可他们自己同时代的伟大的形象艺术家：比如对于Courbet这个被许多人认为是Baudelaire时代最伟大的画家，诗人就给予非常少的推崇。
解析：此题第一空填动词，正还是负评价读到冒号暂时没线索，冒号后出现了be the greatest painter of Baudelaire’s time，马上想到就是前面出现的the great visual artists的同义重复，再看后面the poet应该是前面Writers的同义重复，主语宾语都重复出现了，而冒号表示同义重复，这就好办了!构成逻辑分析的是冒号前有否定词not，所以得出两空一定相反。
构成相反感觉的有CE，仔细推敲无论语义还是逻辑都是E最合适(Evaluate是中性词，与extravagant构成不明显的反义，而recognize有认可赞同之意，与scant praise构成反义)。
