【例題】

22. Tommasini regards Gilbert as an artist who is

[A]influential. [B]modest. [C]respectable. [D]talented.

One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert's appointment in the Times, calls him "an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him." As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise.

Gilbert him

an an

artist musician

who is unpretentious

第二步：本題轉化爲猜詞題

詞根詞綴猜詞：un+pretent+ious，其中pretent是pretend(假裝)的詞根，單詞的表面意思是"不假裝的"，意思就是"謙虛的，低調的"，因此選B。
