Wranglers(争吵者) and Stranglers(扼杀者)

Years ago there was a group of brilliant young men at the University of Wisconsin, who seemed to have amazing creative  36   talent. They were would-be poets, novelists, and essayists. They were extraordinary in their   37    to put the English language to its best use. These promising young men  38   regularly to read and critique (评论) each other's work. And critique it they did!

These men were merciless with one another. They  39   the minutest literary expression into a hundred pieces. They were heartless, tough, even mean in their  40   .The sessions became such areas of literary criticism that the  41   of this special club called themselves the “Stranglers (扼杀者)”.

In order to  42   , the women of literary talent in the university  43   to start a club of their own, one comparable to the Stranglers. They  44   themselves the “Wranglers (争论者)”.They, too, read their  45   one another. But there was one great difference. The criticism was much softer, more  46   , more encouraging. Sometimes, there was almost no criticism at all. Every effort, even the weakest one, was   47   .

Twenty years later an alumnus (男校友;男毕业生) of the university was making an exhaustive (详尽的;彻底的)  48    of his classmates' careers when he   49    a vast difference in the literary accomplishments of the Stranglers as opposed to the Wranglers.

From the Wranglers had come six or more successful   52   , some of national renown (名望;声誉) such as Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, who wrote The Yearling.

Talent between the two?Probably the same. Level of   53   ?Not much difference. But the Stranglers were strangled, while the Wranglers were determined to give each other a(an)   54   .The Stranglers   55    an atmosphere of argument and self-doubt.

试题分析:【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了美国威斯康辛大学的男校友成立了两个不同的文学组织,它们是争吵者和扼杀者组织。扼杀者组织以尖刻的批评著称;而争吵者则以鼓励为宗旨。结果数年之后,两个组织造就的人才却很不一样。扼杀者组织几乎没有出现什么著名的作家,而争吵者组织则6人以上。这表明不同的看法和态度,对人产生不同的结果。

1.C考查形容词词义辨析。此处architectural建筑的; artistic艺术的;literary 文学; musical音乐。根据文章后面的They were would-be poets, novelists, and essayists.可知,这里指的是文学,因为诗歌、小说和散文都是文学相关的内容。故选C。

4.D考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。此处turned转换;translated翻译;combined混合;divided划分。根据后文的介词into可知,这里选divided构成divided into意为:把……分成……。他们把微小的文学表达分成100个部分。

8.A考查形容词词义辨析。此处determined 决心; agreed  同意; promised承诺; dreamed梦想。为了和他们竞争,这所大学的文学才女们决心(determined)成立他们自己的俱乐部,一个和“扼杀者”类似的组织。

9.B考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。此处regarded认为; called称;thought想; recognized认出。这所大学的文学才女们决心成立他们自己的俱乐部,一个和“扼杀者”类似的组织。她们称(called)她们自己是“争论者”。

10.A考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。此处works 作品; letters书信; books 书; papers论文。她们也读相互的作品(books),但她们和“扼杀者”不同。她们批评的更柔和,更积极,更令人鼓舞。

12.D考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。此处required要求;spared腾出; made 制造;encouraged鼓励。有时,根本没有批评。每次努力,甚至是最小的努力都会受到鼓励(encouraged)。

13.B考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。此处experiment实验;study 研究;analysis 分析; judgment判断。20年之后,这所大学的校友对他们同学的职业做了一次详细的研究(study),这时他注意到“扼杀者”和“争论者”同学之间的文学成就有很大的不同。

14.D考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。此处reflected反思; resolved 解决; explained 解释; noticed注意到。

15.C考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。此处optimistic乐观的;confident 有信心的;bright光明的;聪明的;honest诚实的。在所有的聪明的(bright)“扼杀者”年轻人中,没有人取得辉煌的文学成就。

16.A考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。此处achievement 成就;influence影响; contribution 贡献;improvement改进。在所有的聪明的 “扼杀者”年轻人中,没有人取得辉煌的文学成就(achievement)。

17.B考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。此处engineers 工程师;writers作者;doctors 医生; lawyers律师。因为这里指的是文学,所以指作者。“争论者”中有6个以上的成功作家(writers)。

18.C考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。此处courage 勇气;patience 耐心; education 教育; skill技能。两者之间的才能也许一样。是教育(education)水平的差距?没有那么大的不同。但是“扼杀者”将人致死;“争论者”给人提升。
