In the minds of many people living in England,
before Australia was Australia, it was the antipodes
, the opposite pole to civilization, an obscure and unimaginable place that was considered the end of the world.
选项
A、before Australia was Australia, it was the antipodes
B、before there was Australia, it was the antipodes
C、it was the antipodes that was Australia
D、Australia was what was the antipodes
E、Australia was what had been known as the antipodes
答案
A
解析
如果考生还清晰记得第十一章中what的用法或知道antipode的含义的话,一定都会选E。先排除A、B、C,而D中what从句的时态不对。但答案既非D也非E,而是A。本句需要从句子的强调重心来理解此答案。本句主句的重心是在强调antipodes,而非强调Australia;这一点可由首句的in the minds of many people living in England以及划线之后这几个负评价的词opposite,obscure和unimaginable及the end of world暗示出来,并可由此勾勒出句中隐含的一种对比关系:在澳大利亚建立之前,那个地方是一个野蛮的、落后的、不可想象的地方,而在英国人建立了澳大利亚之后,情况发生了天翻地覆的变化。有了这样的句意理解,就不难得出答案A。D、E的表达会造成一个误解:Australia就是antipodes。而这一点在说话人看来,正是大多数住在英国的人们所极力反对的观点,因为他们想强调由于英国人的存在而使得这块地方有了巨大的差别。而C中,由划线之后的the opposite pole to civilization决定了划线末尾词必为antipodes而非Australia,否则修饰对象有误。B中:there的用法不好,因为there的方位不准确。而A中,before Australia was Australia从表面上看,似乎是无意义的重复,其实不然,前一个Australia指一个具体的方位或者说是指澳大利亚的那一块版图;而后一个Australia指此地的名称;it指第一个Australia;before暗示了这种对比关系,同时主句是it wasantipodes,又正好强调了antipodes的核心位置。
