✍🏻 句子解析

To avoid conspicuity and a certain indefinable shame she felt at being caught spying about for some place where she might apply for a position, she quickened her steps and assumed an air of indifference supposedly common to one upon an errand

怕被人看穿她在找活干,这让她感到一阵难以名状的羞愧,因此她赶紧加快了脚步,装出一副有事在身的人常有的漫不经心的神气。 
✍🏻 点拨难点


句首的To avoid A and B,目的状语。再加了一个定语从句,(that) she felt..., 修饰shame。介词短语at being...作状语,说明在什么时候感觉到羞愧。for some place后是where引导定语从句;定从的主干是主谓宾结构。


读到这儿,应该就找到主句的主干了,主谓宾结构。用and并列了两个谓语动词。句末的supposedly common,作为后置定语修饰indifference。


✍🏻 断句

1️⃣主句

she quickened her steps and assumed an air.


2️⃣目的状语

To avoid conspicuity and a certain indefinable shame.


3️⃣定语从句

(shame) she felt at being caught spying about for some place.


4️⃣定语从句

(place) where she might apply for a position.


1️⃣后置定语

(indifference) supposedly common to one upon an errand.

✍🏻 题目解析


本题问的是她加快脚步的原因是什么?即段意题。根据题干的关键词,即可定位到答案句。而句首提及“To avoid conspicuity and...shame”,即为了避免惹人关注和羞耻,点出了她的目的。


1. She quickened her steps because she ____________.

[A] was afraid of being seen as a stranger

[B] was in a hurry to leave the district

[C] wanted to look like someone working there

[D] wanted to apply at more factories that day 


A害怕被看作陌生人

B急于离开该地区

C想看起来像在那里工作的人

D项:那天想申请更多的工厂


B项,急于离开和加快脚步走是同一个意思,未说明原因。D项,未提及。先排除这两个,答非所问。再看看A和C项,哪个更加准确?A句的陌生人,太宽泛,在原语境中指的就是求职者。C这里绕了个弯,她想避免让别人知道自己在找工作,反过来也就是希望被当作在那里工作的人。

✍🏻 难点点拨

errand这个词对于作对题目至关重要,因为它的意思本身就是:差事,给...办事;因此这里她假装自己在办差事,与C意思最接近。


答案就是 C 啦。今天的文章就到这里了。你做对了吗?

今日预习:

So severe a defeat told sadly upon her nerves. She could scarcely understand her weakness and yet she could not think of gazing inquiringly about upon the surrounding scene. Her feet carried her mechanically forward, every foot of her progress being a satisfactory portion of a flight which she gladly made. Block after block passed by.
