PP2模考中第一套中的一道三空题求讨论

希望中的玫瑰UID: 2909568

But they pay little attention to the opposite and more treacherous failing: false certainty, refusing to confess their mistakes and implicitly claiming____, thereby embarrassing the nation and undermining the Constitution, which established various mechanisms of self-correction on the premise that even the wisest men are sometimes wrong and need, precisely when they find it most _____, the benefit of _____ process.
Infallibility           discomforting          an adaptable
Immunity             expedient                             a remedial      
Impartiality           imminent                                an injudicious

一个空没有问题，从and 前后的两个动词是同义的结构，与refuse to confess mistakes的意思保持一致，选infallibity. thereby 之后是说various mechanisms of self-correction embarrass the nation and undermine the Constitution, 在premise的情况下，这个premise是even the wisest men are sometimes wrong and need, the benefit of 怎样的process,因为wisest men are wrong,所以需要remedity, 所以最后一个空选remedial. 第二个空出在一个插入语上，这个插入语中的they 指代wisest men, 你应该是it is discomforting, 所以需要后面第三空的remedity.

模考的时候，thereby 之后的句子结构没有分析清楚，所以选错了。。。

But they pay little attention to the opposite and more treacherous failing: false certainty, refusing to confess their mistakes and implicitly claiming (i) ______, thereby embarrassing the nation and undermining the Constitution, which established various mechanisms of self-correction on the premise that even the wisest men are sometimes wrong and need, precisely when they find it most (ii) ______, the benefit of (iii) ______ process.

　　BLANK (i) BLANK (ii) BLANK (iii)

　　(A) infallibility (D) discomfiting (G) an adaptable

　　(B) immunity (E) expedient (H) a remedial

　　(C) impartiality (F) imminent (I) an injudicious

　　(一) 选取第一空所在部分：

　　But they pay little attention to the opposite and more treacherous failing: false certainty, refusing to confess their mistakes and implicitly claiming (i) ______ …

　　冒号表示解释说明，前后两个分句意思一致;前半句说这些人“pay little attention to failing”，则后半句中也应该说这些人对于错误不管不顾，而后半句中说这些人refusing to confess their mistakes，同时用and连接表并列关系，后半部分与“refusing to confess their mistakes”意思也一致，因而后半部分，即blank(i)所在部分也是“不承认错误”的意思。

　　选择与自主判读一致的词汇填空：

　　[1]. infallibility：(无误的)incapable of error in defining doctrines touching faith or morals

　　[2]. immunity：(免疫力)the quality or state of being immune

　　[3]. impartiality：(公正的)not partial or biased : treating or affecting all equally

　　(二) 选取第三空所在部分：

　　… the Constitution, which established various mechanisms of self-correction on the premise that even the wisest menare sometimes wrong and need the benefit of (iii) ______ process.

　　将blank(ii)部分先省略，从blank(iii)入手，发现整句话可以变形为：

　　… the Constitution established various mechanisms of self-correction on the premise that even the wisest men need the benefit of (iii) ______ process.

　　On the premise that可以视为“because”，整个一句话就变成一个因果关系的句子，前后两个分句意思一致，又没有任何否定词，故对应词语之间是同义关系。整句话就变为“宪法建立自我救赎的机制是因为人们需要_______机制”，故blank(iii)应该填入的就是“拯救、救赎”之意。

　　选择与自主判读一致的词汇填空：

　　[1]. adaptable：(可适应的)capable of being adapted : SUITABLE

　　[2]. remedial：(挽救性的)intended as a remedy

　　[3]. injudicious：(不明智的)not judicious : INDISCREET, UNWISE

　　(三) 选取第二空所在部分：

　　…the Constitution, which established various mechanisms ofself-correction on the premise that even the wisest men are sometimes wrong and need, precisely when they find it most (ii) ______ …

　　这句话中blank(ii)是指智者在什么情况下会要用到宪法所提供的自我救赎的机制。

　　对于智者，尤其是最有智慧的那些来说，犯错通常比较困难，而一旦犯错，其最佳的选择是自己改正问题，以避免不必要的尴尬与问题。看选项后，无论是“权益的”还是“迫近的”，都不如“尴尬的”这个词能有效体现出这些情况发生之少、以及发生以后需要自己改正的必要性。

　　选择与自主判读一致的词汇填空：

　　[1]. discomfiting：(尴尬的)to put into a state of perplexity and embarrassment : DISCONCERT

　　[2]. expedient：(权宜的)characterized by concern with what is opportune; especially : governed by self-interest

　　[3]. imminent：(迫近的)ready to take place; especially : hanging threateningly over one's head

:mad:第二个空选错了，选的expedient，理解是“当它们觉得这样是最权宜（有利的）（方式）”……
