__19__ by the multitude of information systems requiring complicated access, Berners-Lee fashioned a universal one that made information readily 20 .
答案:(A) available
【句型】make + O + C,made information readily available 表示「使資訊容易取得」,呼應前文「設計一個統一系統」的目的。consistent(一致的)、important(重要的)、unforgettable(難忘的)都不符合「讓資訊容易存取」的語境。
四個選項都是形容詞,都能接在 readily 後面,你會憑中文挑一個。
答對率不到五成,鑑別度高達 58。先看空格前後:Berners-Lee fashioned a universal one that made information readily ______(他打造出一套通用的系統,讓資訊變得______)。前一句說他是被「各種資訊系統要存取都得繞一大圈」這件事困住才動手做的——他要解決的正是「拿不到、不好拿」這個問題,所以他做出來的系統要讓資訊變得容易取得,那就是 available(可取得的、可使用的)。填進去讀成 made information readily available。
consistent(一致的)講的是前後不矛盾;important(重要的)是在評價價值,但資訊的重要性不是這套系統造成的;unforgettable(難忘的)與取得的難易完全無關。三個都是形容詞,形態吻合,容易被順手選走。
be available to somebody(可供某人使用)、availability(可取得性)、accessible(容易接近或取得的)、complicated access(存取起來很麻煩)、fashion(動詞:打造、製作)、a multitude of(大量的、許多的)。
