How does literary style evolve? Surprisingly,【C1】______ lie in words with seemingly little meaning, such as "to" and "that".
By analysing how writers use such "【C2】______" words, Daniel Rockmore and colleagues at Dartmouth College in Hanover were able to conduct the first, large-scale style analysis of literature.
Content-free words are【C3】______ of writing style, Rockmore says. While two authors might use the【C4】______ content words to describe a similar event, they will use content-free words to link their content words in a different way.
Using the Project Gutenberg digital library, Rockmore’s team analysed 7,733 English language works written since 1550,【C5】______ how often and in what context content-free words appeared.
As you might expect, they found that writers were【C6】______ influenced by their predecessors.
They also found that as the number of literature works grew, the influence of older works shrank. Authors in the【C7】______ periods wrote in a very similar way to one another, the researchers found, probably because they all read the same small body of literature. But approaching the modern era, when more people were writing and more works were available from many eras and numerous styles, authors’ styles were still very similar to those of their【C8】______ contemporaries.
"It’s as if they find dialects in time," says Alex Bentley. "Content is what makes us unique, but content-free words put us in different groups."
That writers should be most influenced by their contemporaries rather than the great works of the past is interesting, Rockmore says, because it challenges the【C9】______ of "classic" literature.
When it comes to style【C10】______, perhaps we aren’t so strongly influenced by the classics after all.
【C2】
选项
答案
E
解析
空格应填入形容词,修饰words。空格前的such提示,此处的words是指上文的to和that这类词,文章首段用了with seemingly little meaning(似乎没有什么意义)来描述这些词,词库中的content-free“与内容无关的”与之意思一致,符合要求,故本题选E。style-free指“与文体无关的”,从首段可知,这些“与内容无关的”词与“文体”有关,可排除。
