Its latest exhibit is a 18 of sculpted lions, snakes, horses and eagles.
答案:(A) collection
a collection of sculpted animals(一系列雕塑動物的收藏)表示最新展覽是一批獅子、蛇、馬和鷹的雕塑收藏;cooperation/completion/contribution 均不符合此處語意。
四個選項都是 co- 開頭的抽象名詞,長得很像,容易混淆,掃過去挑一個最眼熟的就填了。
鑑別度高達 60,分開的是有沒有注意到 a ______ of 這個框架。a ______ of 後面接的是一串複數名詞(獅子、蛇、馬、鷹的雕塑),所以空格要的是一個能把一群東西收攏起來的名詞——a collection of(一批、一組、一系列)。填進去讀成 a collection of sculpted lions, snakes, horses and eagles(一批獅子、蛇、馬、鷹的雕塑)。這一招值得記住:看到 a ______ of + 複數名詞,先問「哪一個字是在講一群」。
cooperation(合作)與 contribution(貢獻)講的是人與人之間的行為,不是一群東西;completion(完成)講的是一件事到了尾聲。三個都是 co- 開頭的抽象名詞,形態吻合,容易被順手選走。
a collection of(一批、一組、一系列)、a group of(一群)、cooperation(合作)、completion(完成)、contribution(貢獻)、reproduction(複製品)。
