(5)</p><p> 尽管从历史角度来看，在古代以色列作为独立主权国家的犹太教法与大流散时期(<span word="Diaspora">Diaspora</span>，即以色列被征服后古代犹太人被巴比伦人逐出故土)的犹太教法之间存在着一个明晰可辨的断裂，然则，《旧约全书》(<span word="Old">Old</span> <span word="Testament">Testament</span>)后半部分中法律内容的精神与《犹太教法典》(<span word="Talmud">Talmud</span>)极为一脉相承，而所谓的《犹太教法典》，是指大流散时期犹太教法的主要典籍辑录之一。</p><p> 难句类型：复杂修饰、插入语、省略、专有名词</p><p> 解释：本句与上一句同来自于同一篇文章，本文的主题是伊斯兰法，但作者反复用犹太法来吓唬读者，同样<span word="ETS">ETS</span>也未就此句话出题。</p><p> 这句话难读是因为两个原因：第一、作者在<span word="between">between</span> <span word="Jewish">Jewish</span> <span word="law">law</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="sovereign">sovereign</span> <span word="state">state</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="ancient">ancient</span> <span word="Israel">Israel</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Diaspora">Diaspora</span>一句中的<span word="and">and</span>之后省略了<span word="Jewish">Jewish</span> <span word="law">law</span>,使人看到<span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Diaspora">Diaspora</span> <span word="ancient">ancient</span> <span word="Israel">Israel</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Diaspora">Diaspora</span>一句中的<span word="and">and</span>之后省略了<span word="jewish">jewish</span> <span word="law">law</span>，使人看到<span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Diaspora">Diaspora</span>时搞不清楚在什么与什么之间;第二个难懂的原因，是文中出现了大量的专有名词、法律术语和历史背景。其实读者除了<span word="Israel">Israel</span> 和<span word="Jewish">Jewish</span>两个单词有必要也有可能认识之外，其他单词既不需要了解也无法了解，像什么<span word="Diaspora">Diaspora</span>、<span word="Old">Old</span> <span word="Testament">Testament</span>、<span word="Talmud">Talmud</span>等奇怪名词，在非宗教国家的考生的大脑中，一点概念都没有，更不要说其英语的表达了。那么<span word="ETS">ETS</span>的出题者在阅读文章中搞出这种东西来，不是有意违背公平出题原则之嫌了吗?</p>
