<p>大家就请看下面的解析方法：</p><p>例：</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="poet">poet</span> <span word="W">W</span>. <span word="H">H</span>. <span word="Auden">Auden</span> <span word="believed">believed</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="greatest">greatest</span> <span word="poets">poets</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="age">age</span> <span word="were">were</span> <span word="almost">almost</span> <span word="necessarily">necessarily</span> <span word="irresponsible">irresponsible</span>, <span word="that">that</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="possession">possession</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="great">great</span> <span word="gifts">gifts</span> __ <span word="the">the</span> __ <span word="to">to</span> <span word="abuse">abuse</span> <span word="them">them</span>.</p><p>(<span word="A">A</span>) <span word="negates">negates</span> ... <span word="temptation">temptation</span></p><p>(<span word="B">B</span>) <span word="controls">controls</span> ... <span word="resolution">resolution</span></p><p>(<span word="C">C</span>) <span word="engenders">engenders</span> ... <span word="propensity">propensity</span></p><p>(<span word="D">D</span>) <span word="tempers">tempers</span> ... <span word="proclivity">proclivity</span></p><p>(<span word="E">E</span>) <span word="obviates">obviates</span> ... <span word="inclination">inclination</span></p><p>〖解答〗</p><p>本题在主句谓语动词<span word="believed">believed</span>后，继之以两个以<span word="that">that</span>引导的宾语从句，后者以另一角度复述前者内涵。第一个宾语从句中所陈述的中心主题为<span word="irresponsible">irresponsible</span>(不负责任的)，带有贬义色彩，这就为第二个宾语从句提供了线索。换言之，出现在第二个宾语从句中的两处空格，应综合体现出前述的“不负责任”这一主题。</p><p>在空格Ⅱ，五个选项代入后，均无不妥之处，且连同其后作为定语的动词不定式结构，都为贬义色彩。在此情况下，在空格Ⅰ，就再也不能代入任何贬义色彩的选项，否则，“负负得正”的规律会使第二个宾语从句整体上转而带上褒义色彩，故唯有中性色彩的(<span word="C">C</span>) <span word="engenders">engenders</span>为正确。其余四项代入后均致使事情朝着积极方向发展，无从与此前<span word="irresponsible">irresponsible</span>这一主题谐调一致。</p><p>〖词汇〗</p>
