TPO11Ancient Egyptian Sculpture的一道词汇题
Paragraph 4:Apart from statues representing deities, kings, and named members of the elite that can be called formal, there is another group of three-dimensional representations that depicts generic figures, frequently servants, from the nonelite population. The function of these is quite different. Many are made to be put in the tombs of the elite in order to serve the tomb owners in the afterlife. Unlike formal statues that are limited to static poses of standing, sitting, and kneeling, these figures depict a wide range of actions, such as grinding grain, baking bread, producing pots, and making music, and they are shown in appropriate poses, bending and squatting as they carry out their tasks.
11. The word depicts in the passage is closest in meaning to
○ imagines
○ classifies
○ elevates
○ portrays
Apart from statues representing deities, kings, and named members of the elite that can be
called formal, there is another group of three-dimensional representations that depicts
generic figures, frequently servants, from the nonelite population. The function of these
is quite different.
METHOD1
1根据Apart from/another group推断出
"="是指句子成份功能
statues=three-dimensional representations
deities, kings, and named members=generic figures, frequently servants
2从而谓语成份应该表达相同意思,即
represent=depict
3因此,能描述statutes,且与represent相同功能的词就比较明显,即
portray
METHOD2
当然,如果我们知道下面的就不用根据context猜词意了
portray
: to make a picture of : DEPICT
depict
: to represent by a figure, model, or picture : DELINEATE
在lz这刚看到我也打蒙了,不过下文: these figures depict a wide range of actions, such as grinding grain, baking bread, producing pots, and making music, and they are shown in appropriate poses, bending and squatting as they carry out their tasks.
从动词方向走,就只有2,4项了,不过classifies在这里有点就说不过了
