例 Ⅳ:
Without necessarily doubting the originalof Tao-Chi‘s religious beliefs, one may note that he no longer mentions his faith in his writings, after a successful trip to Peking where he made friends with the Manchu, whothe beliefs he had held.
(A) truth ... originated
(B) sincerity ... opposed
(C) piety ... confirmed
(D) source ... discerned
(E) advisability ... mirrored
〖解答〗
本题为间接因果关系。先处理空格Ⅱ:题中陈述“某人不再提及其宗教信仰”(he no longer mentions his faith)。显然,作为结果,它事出有因,以"who"引导的定语从句即是这一原因之陈述。由于结果带有贬义,故原因相应为贬义,唯(B) opposed为正确。其它四项代入后均不会导致现有的结果。在空格Ⅰ处,(B) sincerity自然而然为正确。
〖词汇〗
piety: 虔诚
discern: 觉察,识别
advisability: 可取,明智,适当
mirror: 1.反映 2.模仿
