His straightforward prose is particularly effective in his short stories, some of 20 are collected in Men Without Women (1927).
答案:(B) which
【句型】some of which 固定用法,關係代名詞which代替short stories(其中一些短篇小說收錄在……);what(不能這樣接在of後面構成關係子句)、them、these(都不是關係代名詞,不能這樣連接子句)都不合。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率,以下不談數據,只談觀念。
四個選項裡 them 與 these 都能代替前面的名詞,看起來也講得通;但只要看空格前面那個 of,就知道它們進不來。
先看空格前面:some of ___ are collected in Men Without Women (1927)。注意這一串接在逗號後面,而且後面有動詞 are——所以它是一個關係子句,用來補充說明前面的 his short stories(他的短篇小說)。既然是關係子句,空格就要填關係代名詞;而它前面有介系詞 of,所以要用能接在介系詞後面的 which:some of which are collected in Men Without Women(其中一些收錄在 Men Without Women(沒有女人的男人)裡)。這個「介系詞 + which」的寫法很常考,同型的還有 many of which、most of whom、the reason for which、the extent to which(……的程度)。
them、these:兩個都是一般代名詞,不能引導關係子句。填進去會變成 his short stories, some of them are collected ...——兩個完整的句子中間只用一個逗號連接,這是不成立的(要成立得改成 some of them being collected 或加上 and)。what:不能當關係代名詞,它前面不能有先行詞,而這裡的先行詞是 his short stories。
some of which(其中一些)、many of which(其中許多)、most of whom(他們之中大多數)、be collected in(被收錄於)、be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature(獲頒諾貝爾文學獎)、straightforward prose(樸實直接的文筆)。
Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was an American author and journalist. His writing style, characterized by simplicity and understatement, influenced modern fiction, as 16 his life of adventure.
Hemingway started his career as a journalist at 17. In the 1920s, he was sent to Europe as a newspaper correspondent to 17 such events as the Greek Revolution. During this period, he produced his early important works, including The Sun Also Rises. Among his later works, the most outstanding is The Old Man and the Sea (1952), which became perhaps his most famous book, finally winning him the Pulitzer Prize he had long been 18 .
Hemingway liked to portray soldiers, hunters, bullfighters—tough, at times primitive people whose courage and honesty are set against the brutal ways of modern society, and who in this 19 lose hope and faith. His straightforward prose is particularly effective in his short stories, some of 20 are collected in Men Without Women (1927). In 1954, Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. He died in Idaho in 1961.
