[A] draw an analogy between golf and short story
[B] elaborate the “effect” of short story
[C] show other examples similar to golf games
[D] show impact of golf games on short story
本题考查考生对文章写作结构的理解。第三段论述了短篇小说与高尔夫比赛相似的特点。该段引用了现代流派的第一位理论家埃德加·爱伦·坡的观点阐明短篇小说的效果是为了创造一种效果。因此,可推知文章接下来应该对这一效果进行详细论述,告诉读者这种效果到底指的是什么,怎样达到。[B]项正确。文章前半部分的论述都是为了引出短篇小说这个话题,所以点题之后,无需再对高尔夫这个引子进行叙述。由此排除其他项。

[C] musical technique

本题考查词意理解。“phonograph”一词出现在第一段第五句,该句指出,“‘phonograph’被发明以前,我们听不到任何音乐表演的声音,只能通过乐器研究过去的音乐文化”。由此可知,该词指的是一种能够记录声音并被用于音乐文化研究的物质。[A]为正确答案。[B]虽然也有声音,但无法用于音乐研究。此外,也可以通过词根词缀法猜测词意。phono-相当于sound,表示“声音”;-graph表示“书写、描绘或记录的器具,机械”。“记录声音的机器”就是“录音机”。
