解析
本题考查词汇辨析,解题思路是理解句子的含义,分析每个选项单词的意思,然后选择最符合句子语境的选项。
- 句子 “The ___ manuscript of the novel was much longer than the published version, with several chapters cut for brevity.” 的意思是这部小说的某种手稿比出版版本长很多,为了简洁删去了几个章节。
- A选项 “original”:意为“原始的,最初的”。“original manuscript” 表示“原始手稿”,符合小说最初的手稿比出版版本长,因为要删去一些章节来达到简洁的语境。
- B选项 “evolving”:意为“不断发展的,演变中的”。“evolving manuscript” 强调手稿处于不断变化发展的过程,但并没有突出与出版版本在长度上的对比关系,不符合句子语境。
- C选项 “additional”:意为“额外的,附加的”。“additional manuscript” 指额外的手稿,而不是与出版版本相对应的最初手稿,不符合句子表达的意思。
- D选项 “ultimate”:意为“最终的,极限的”。“ultimate manuscript” 表示最终的手稿,通常最终手稿应该是经过修改后接近出版版本的,不会比出版版本长,不符合句子逻辑。
