KEY: BD 1. 關(guān)鍵字:thus表示因果 2. 先從blank(i)入手,前半句話再說VN是一個北美文學(xué)巨擘,因而在這里應(yīng)該是對于VN的一個正評價,看選項中無論是stigmatization還是marginalization,都是相對負(fù)面的評價,因而只有B選項與語氣對應(yīng)?! ?. 看blank(ii),其中說VN這個人被當(dāng)作北美文學(xué)的巨擘以后對于他的其他一些周邊小活動產(chǎn)生了一種 “throw spotlight on”的證明的影響,而后半句話用thus連接以后,兩句話之間構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系,由于沒有否定詞的存在,對應(yīng)詞語之間應(yīng)該是同義關(guān)系。前文說對于VN的一些次要活動產(chǎn)生了一種證明效應(yīng),因而后面也要體現(xiàn)這種證明效應(yīng)?! ?. 詞語解釋: [1].
