All of the parts of the body work together smoothly and quietly 23 each part feels what is happening in the other parts.
答案:(C) as
as 在這裡表示「隨著、與此同時」,指身體各部位協調運作的同時,也能感受彼此的狀態;or(或者)、if(如果)、but(但是)都不符合這種伴隨關係。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率,以下不談數據,只談觀念。
四個選項都能接子句,形態上一個也刷不掉,所以只能靠語意;而 but 與 if 讀起來好像都能通,很容易猶豫。
四個選項都能帶出子句,可見這一格考的是前後兩件事的關係,那就把整句讀完:All of the parts of the body work together smoothly and quietly ___ each part feels what is happening in the other parts.(身體各部位順暢而安靜地一起運作,……每一個部位都感受得到其他部位正在發生什麼。)前後講的是同一個狀態的兩面:一邊是順暢運作、一邊是彼此感應,兩件事同時在發生,不是互相牴觸、也不是二選一。表示「當……的同時」用 as。順便把 as 在題庫裡出現過的身分整理一下:本題是「當……的同時」;87 年第 31 題也是「當……時」;91 年第 24 題是「隨著」;94 年第 18 題是介系詞「以……的身分」。先看後面接的是子句還是名詞,再看語意,就分得出來。
but(但是):轉折,但前後兩件事是同向的。or(或者):提供另一個選擇,本句不是在二選一。if(如果):帶出條件,但「各部位彼此感應」不是「順暢運作」的條件,兩者是同時存在的狀態。
as + 子句(當……的同時;隨著)、smoothly and quietly(順暢而安靜地)、what is happening(正在發生的事)、each other(彼此)、the other parts(其他部位)、work together(一起運作)。
Climbing the most difficult mountains requires a very special mental condition. 21 the climber is doing something very difficult, everything that he or she sees, hears, or 22 must come together to help in the work of climbing.
All of the parts of the body work together smoothly and quietly 23 each part feels what is happening in the other parts. There is no room for thinking about what time it is, or about how one looks. 24 thinking must focus on what is happening at that moment, and the mind and the body become one. Only by entering this quiet mental state 25 a climber really do his or her best.
