问题 Folmer’s book on Edith Wharton seems far removed from recent trends in literary criticism; this need not to be a fault, except that, in its title and introduction, the book (i)________to be conversant with contemporary discourse in the field, but in its actual analysis of Wharton’s work, it is marked by a very (ii)________approach.
Blank (i)   Blank (i)
A. designs  D. old-fashioned
B. fails    E. timely
C. purports F. arcane

选项

答案C,D

解析 第一句话交代福尔莫的这本书的特点是很落伍(far removed from recent trends)。分号前后的语义应该是同义对应的,分号前面说落伍,那么分号后面也要能体现这一点。分号后面逻辑连接词是except that.前面说this need not to be a fault,因此except that后面要体现fault,所以空格(ii)备选D项old-fashioned和F项arcane。通过和前面的语义对应可知,整句话讨论的是研究方法是否新(即符合当前潮流)的问题,而跟研究方法是否难懂(arcane)无关,因此排除F选项。D选项正确。然后看空格(i),逻辑连接标志是分号,表示前后同义重复。前面说远离最近趋势,分号后说这本书________熟悉最新趋势(to be conversant with contemporary discourse in the field),而通过but后的句子可知这本书还是老一套。显然,说是一码事,实际是另一码事。C项purports符合句意,表示“标榜,声称”,表达与真实情况不符的含义。
