[buugua (布瓜)]

考題：一般


題目：Repetition, we are told, is an evil in writing. It seems that we are told

this practically from the time we begin to write. Yet the skillful writer

instinctively recognizes that carefully repeating certain key words and phrases

can help tie his ideas together. For example, the mathematician Norbert Wiener

begins his discussion of Brownian motion in this way: "To understand the

Brownian motion, let us imagine a push-ball in a field in which a crowd is

milling around. Various people in the crowd will run into the push-ball and

will move it about. Some will push in one direction and some in another."

To use repletion creatively, you repeat certain words of phrases in order to

keep the reader's mind firmly on the subject.

36.     In this passage, "evil" can mean

(A)  Satan　(B)  God's condemnation　(C)  weakness　(D)  necessary style

Ans:(D)



提問： 根據第一行  他指出 repetition is an evil in writing

        evil 不是指 weakness 嗎?

推 stu60912:原PO誤解了作者開頭這樣寫的用意。
→ stu60912:這篇是 turnabout paragraph，也就是會在一開始拋出一個
→ stu60912:大家都會這麼認為的想法A，然後卻在後面才說明其實想法A
→ stu60912:是錯的，通常都會有but/yet/however等轉折詞。這是寫文
→ stu60912:章開頭為了吸引讀者常用的手法。
→ stu60912:所以此篇作者要強調的就是repetition是很重要的。
→ stu60912:所以才是選（D）而不是（C）
