原句“no memory of the past touched little Chandler, for his mind was full of a present joy.” 如果不看上一句或看不懂这句话的上一句,容易将这句话过度解读为B选项。上一句 “He picked his way deftly through all that minute life (日落时街边小孩子玩耍的场景)and under the shadow of gaunt (破败的) spectral(幽灵似的) mansions in which the old nobility of Dublin had roystered.(喝酒喧嚣)”。
9题较难,需要判断语义相近的C和D哪句话更为准确,C原句 :“He had always passed without turning his head to look. It was his habit to walk swiftly in the street even by day and whenever he found himself in the city late at night he hurried on his way apprehensively and excitedly.” D原句:“Sometimes, however, he courted the causes of his fear. He chose the darkest and narrowest streets and , as he walked boldly forward, the silence that was spread about his footsteps troubled him, the wandering, silent figures troubled him; and at times a sound of fugitive laughter made him tremble like a leaf. ” 虽然C选项有原词excitedly对应,但8题D选项后半句强调主人公将自己主动置于危险的环境,这是9题D原句中“he courted the causes of his fear” 才传递出的语义。因此,9题正确选项为D。
Part 2 自然科学
正确选项为A。较难在于A的同义替换理解以及干扰项B的存在。本题对应原文如下:
根据题干核心词flawed对应到本段第七行,“由于方法有问题,比如根据老虎照片及足迹气味做出不可靠的推理,老虎的数量数据统计也有问题。”这是一句具体的描述,同义替换选项A的概括性表达,a selection of evidence 对应老虎照片及足迹气味,incomplete所以最终数量估计flawed。B选项的信息在此段后面有提及,但根据上下文逻辑语义,此处不再是WWF and The Global Tiger Forum 数据flawed原因。所以,属于所答非所问。
Part 3 历史
考察本段第二行fair的意思,大多数词汇题正确答案符合语境,同时也是词本来具有的意义。较难的词汇题需要结合词的本义看其在语境中传递出的意思,而字典里原词并无此意。比如这道题,fair 的本义是 reasonable and just, 结合原文语境作者的情感态度,此处解读为appealing。
