19. [4 marks — 2 marks per pair]

第一组：凝视 / 注视

• 选择：凝视 [1]
• 理由 (1 mark): "凝视"强调带着思考或深情地看，时间较长，带有专注和深思的意味。句中画家"思考着还需要修改的地方"，说明他是在专注地、带着审视的目光看自己的作品，因此用"凝视"更恰当。"注视"只是表示注意地看，没有"凝视"那种深入思考的意味。

第二组：侵蚀 / 腐蚀

• 选择：侵蚀 [1]
• 理由 (1 mark): "侵蚀"指逐渐地破坏或消耗，常用于自然力量（如风、水）对物体的物理性破坏。句中"海风长年累月地……岩石"描述的是自然风化过程，用"侵蚀"恰当。"腐蚀"多指化学作用（如酸类）使物体逐渐损坏，或比喻不良思想使人堕落，不适合描述海风对岩石的作用。

20. [4 marks]

加点词解释：

• 罔 (1 mark): 迷惑而无所得。"罔"通"惘"，意为迷惑、茫然。
• 殆 (1 mark): 危险，此处指精神疲倦而无所得。"殆"意为危险、不安，引申为徒劳无功。

翻译 (2 marks):

• 只学习而不思考，就会迷惑而无所得；只空想而不学习，就会精神疲倦而无所得。
• Marking: 1 mark for accurate translation of the first clause, 1 mark for the second clause. Key terms must be correct: "罔" and "殆" must be properly rendered.
• Common mistake: Students may translate "殆" as "dangerous" literally without adapting it to the context of learning (where it means "unproductive" or "exhausted without gain").
