题目解答

答案

1. B 2. A 3. B 4. A 5. A

解析

本题考查对句子含义的准确理解，需结合上下文和语境判断选项是否符合原句的核心意思。关键点在于抓住句子中的关键词（如“however”“surging”“irony”等）、句式结构（如被动语态、强调句等），并排除干扰选项。

第1题

原句：Less well-known, however, was the fact that the "Aryan" girl it claimed to show was actually Jewish.
解析：

  • 核心逻辑：原句强调“鲜为人知的是，被声称是‘雅利安’的女孩实际上是犹太人”。
  • 选项对比：
    • A 错误，因果关系颠倒（因“被声称是犹太人”导致不知名，与原句矛盾）。
    • B 正确，直接对应“few people were aware”和“in fact, Jewish”。

第2题

原句：It was the time of surging anti-Semitism in Berlin.
解析：

  • 关键词：“surging”意为“迅速增长的”，直接对应“spread quickly”。
  • 选项对比：
    • A 正确，准确翻译“anti-Semitism spread quickly”。
    • B 错误，将“surging”误解为“城市增长”。

第3题

原句：I wanted to allow myself the pleasure of this joke.
解析：

  • 句式分析：“allow myself the pleasure”表示“主动享受”，强调主观意愿。
  • 选项对比：
    • A 错误，误解为“被允许”（被动）。
    • B 正确，体现“希望享受笑话的乐趣”。

第4题

原句：Family stories are always prone to exaggeration.
解析：

  • 关键词：“prone to exaggeration”意为“容易被夸大”，暗示故事可能包含虚构。
  • 选项对比：
    • A 正确，对应“mixture of truth and imagination”。
    • B 错误，错误推断为“编造故事来打动他人”。

第5题

原句：The parents were equally shocked and "amazed at the irony of it all."
解析：

  • 情感分析：“shocked”和“amazed”并存，体现矛盾情绪（既震惊又对讽刺感到惊讶）。
  • 选项对比：
    • A 正确，准确表达双重情感。
    • B 错误，将“irony”误解为“有趣”（与原句的严肃情感不符）。
