填空题的由前及后解法指的是:利用题目前一部分中的线索,推断出设置于题目后一部分中空格所需的内涵。 例 Ⅰ: Though afflicted by headaches, nausea, and respiratory difficulties, Nietzche refused to let his ---------- problems prevent him from writing. (A) imaginary (B) financial (C) emotional (D) theoretical (E) physical 〖解答〗 本题原是以Though引导的对立关系,但由于主句中的动词"refused"带有否定意义,故属对立关系的特殊解法。换言之,就逻辑关系而言,代入空格的词汇应与中心线索构成同义词。既然"problems"指的是上文中"difficulties"一词,则代入空格的词汇应能将上文中的三种病症一言以蔽之,以(E)physical为正确。 〖中译〗 尽管为头痛,恶心及呼吸困难所折磨,但尼采拒不允让其身体问题阻碍他的著述。 例 Ⅱ: It is his dubious distinction to have proved what nobody would think of denying, that Romero at the age of sixty-four writes with all the characteristics of ---------- . (A) maturity (B) fiction (C) inventiveness (D) art (E) brilliance |
