独特的unique, gifted, unparalleled, incomparable, unequalled, unrivalled,
unique和gifted是真题中出现的一对相关词。原文中某些运动员的基因很独特，题目说他们很有天赋，意思是一致的。
unique (a.): E.g. Joan has a unique talent for languages.
unparalleled (a.): 无与伦比的
< He has an unparalleled knowledge of local history.
incomparable (a.): E.g. He was an incomparable teacher.
电影movie, film, feature, picture, motion picture, moving picture feature (n.): E.g. There were a couple of short cartoons before the main feature.

唯一的，排外的sole, only, alone, exclusive. single, solitary, privilege privilege (n.)：特权，有篇文章说的是artificial reef(人造礁石)，其中有个内容说的是日本政府有个政策就是给予渔民们特权：如果这块礁石是由这个地区的渔民造的并且带来了鱼，那么这些鱼就专属于这些渔民。大家想想在这里privilege（特权）是不是就是表示只有他们才有的权利，是不是排他性的。
再给个例子，特权车，例如警车，闯红灯不犯法（非执勤情况而且不鸣警笛的情况）是不是警车的特权呢？
再如，贵族学校是不是有钱人家孩子的特权呢？以特低价买商品房是不是某些官员的特权呢？
< A good education should not just be a privilege of the rich.
sole (n.): 唯一的
< The company has the sole rights to market Elton John's records. exclusive (a.): 动词形式是exclude（就是include的反义词）
< Our prices are exclusive of sales tax
< mutually exclusive 相互排斥的
< exclusive report/interview/coverage etc
< an exclusive girls' school（exclusive places, organizations, clothes etc are so expensive that not many people can afford to use or buy them）
alone (a./adv.): E.g. The team earned over a million pounds from television alone last year.
偶然的，不小心的by chance, by accident, accidentally, unintentionally, incidentally,
阅读考试中还有种可能性就是文章描述一个事件，来说明它的偶然性。例如说一头驴掉进了一个洞里，那当然也是偶然的了（不知道是不是有笨驴看到洞，自己还故意往里面走的……）
这种转换属于事例说明法。再如，题目如果说养蜜蜂失败了（fail），文章中可能并没有fail 的同义词，而描述了一个事件：例如运送蜜蜂的时候船翻了来说明fail的意思，这也是事例法。
by accident: E.g. The discovery was made almost by accident. unintentional: E.g. Defense attorneys claimed the shooting was unintentional. incidental：E.g. incidental damage

昂贵的costly, expensive, highly-priced, exorbitant, dear, stiff, Rolls-Royce，exclusive, luxurious, rip-off, posh,

rip-off: 传说中的黑店就是这么说得，可不要说成black shop(rip 是撕碎的意思)
