第一空线索:
$ A# Z/ j6 F3 p! \) e 读某本书能带来refreshing效果,则表明这本书作者写作的效果就是有让我们refreshing的效果或者预期。所以,他“does not allow facts to be (1)__________ by politics”不会让政治“politics”对这本书作什么作用呢?当然是不会让政治使其破坏这本书“refreshing”的特点。则,第一空从正负就可以将illuminated排除。具体选择“overshadowed”“invalidated”还要参看第二空。
9 w: J9 b0 v# O( f7 d 第二空线索: G: }! k4 C, _
第二空线索说作者不允许them怎样。往前寻找them指代,很容易发现:them就是politics。这样一来,马上可以看到这样的重复:
2 M9 z- Z0 [+ q3 N* D an author who does not allow facts to be (1)__________ by politics! Q J9 {! `9 ]1 q8 M
= this author does not permit them to (2)__________; _8 b! Y- s3 h9 B( T- B5 J9 y
都是说作者不允许政治对书做怎样的动作。则两空是同义重复。又由于第一空推出动作是负面的。故两空都是负面的。则第二空是obscure, 而第一空也就只能是overshadow。
