7. If Wilson’s article style changed overtime, it was in the wrong retrograde direction, _____
experimentation and inclining toward works that seemed hobbled by a fear of risk.
A. belaboring
B. shunning
C. eschewing
D. overemphasizing
E. misconstruing
F. mocking
很久以前讨论过这个题.
实验性其实就是创新性的意思(在文学作品中, 实验性往往指的是那些写法富有新意且内容颇具争议的作品, 比如大名鼎鼎的Ulysses), inclining toward works hobbled by fear of risk就是说他趋向于写那些不敢冒天下之大不韪的作品, 也就是缺乏实验性.
再一个and说明二者前后内容一致. 选BC.
一开始没太看懂这题。但是仅仅从后面半句话来判断吗?看前半句it was in the wrong retrograde direction,向错误的,降级的方向发展, 从一开始的重视overemphasising和belaboring 向 hobbled by fear of risk 不敢冒险发展....
