3. 对于含义晦涩的句子,判断语气或感情色彩是有效地解决方法,有时候甚至是唯一的方法。* E$ y8 R, D8 A, i2 I1 a# p
Johnson never ___ to ignore the standards of decent conduct mandated by company policy if ___ compliance with instructions from his superiors enabled him to do so, whatever the effects on his subordinates.- t- R% r0 p. R
A. deigned.. tacit B. attempted.. halfhearted C. intended.. direct7 A6 m+ A( z7 r! i1 E4 N) Z. L
D. scrupled.. literal E. wished.. feigned' _ S5 U* o' {8 g: Z' U3 X* F
这句话对于英语阅读能力较差的学生来说,通过正常的阅读理解来做还是有些难度的。但是如果注意到whatever the effects on his subordinates(无论对下级产生什么影响)的语气,就可以判断第一空格填入后应表示johnson干的不是什么好事,唯一符合这一判断的是D选项。

D. obstacle to.. resistance E. praise for.. reputation( x! q, s9 N7 t/ `4 ]
如果知道encounter的正确用法,就可以判断第一空格应填入一个负面色彩的词,这样就轻松排除了A、C、E三个选项,结合后面的意思来看,只能选D。

第二空格被副词irremediably(不可救药地)修饰,根据这个词带出的语气可以判断第二空格应填入一个负面色彩的词,符合这一判断的只有D、E两个选项。第一空格remorse的意思完全地对应“regret for having done something wrong”,故选D。, i3 n6 x8 ?/ n M8 S
Any language is a conspiracy against experience in the sense that it is a collective attempt to ___ experience by reducing it into discrete parcels.( j4 \6 v* f$ S+ Z- N
A. extrapolate B. transcribe C. complicate D. amplify E. manage
' t4 k2 v& _ `这句话如果没有看过相关背景的书籍几乎是不可理解的,但是我们可以通过语气和感情色彩的判断来排除错误的选项,最终剩下一个看不出错的选项,也就是正确选项了。因为语言是对抗经验的阴谋(conspiracy against),所以空格应填入一个负面色彩的动作,只有C选项(使复杂化、使变得麻烦)和E选项(manage除了中性的经营管理之外,还可以表示负面的操纵控制)符合这一判断。结合方式状语by reducing(减少、分解、简化)来看,C选项应被排除,最后剩下仍然看不懂句意的E选项就对了。

& u$ H$ N0 H# }0 P; e. y7 I1 B根据consequently提示的上下因果关系我们可以判断第一空格应填入severe的同义或反义,表示严重或不严重的词只有A选项。B选项表示未曾治疗的,D不用说了。C、E两个选项其实和是否严重没有关系,很多时候干扰选项的设置上利用了我们的习惯思维不缜密的、容易想当然的弱点。很多人会认为不寻常的、很少见的疾病就是严重的,寻常的、随处可见的疾病就是不严重的。但是只要稍微想一下就知道这里面没有任何必然的关系。! Y3 M1 N0 h* v4 u5 H) S

* ^& B5 n0 k+ F# A5 x1 p8 ] n第二空格根据转折关系显然只能选A、D两个选项,第一空格会有很多人觉得A选项可以选,因为觉得传统的人就是不喜欢抛头露面的,不喜欢与人争吵的。同样只要想想就该知道这里面没有任何必然的关系,并且即便我们中国传统的人真是这样,这里也没说他是中国人。这种干扰选项的设置路数和上一道题的感觉是完全一样的。! @; U- j+ h5 y4 z& t
