  • 第5题：

    What rhetoric device is used in the sentence "This is a successful failure"


    A.Simile

    B.Metonymy

    C.Metaphor

    D.Oxymoron

    答案：D
    解析：
    考查修辞。题意为，“这是一个成功的失败”这句话中运用了什么修辞手法成功和失败是反义词．用成功修饰失败存在很明显的矛盾关系。矛盾修饰法是把两个意思相反、互相矛盾或互不协调的词用在一起，以产生警句式的修辞效果。它是英语反义词的一种灵活运用。这种修辞手法表面上看来是矛盾的，但实际上这样的组合却能达到其他修辞手法没有的语言效果，含义深刻，寓意明确。A项“明喻”，B项“转喻／借代”，C项“隐喻／暗喻”，D项“矛盾修饰法”。故选D。

  • 第6题：

    What is the main rhetoric device used in “The plowman homeward plods his weary way.”?

    A.Metaphor.
    B.Metonymy.
    C.Synecdoche.
    D.Transferred epithet.

    答案：D
    解析：
    本题考查修辞学。metaphor（隐喻／暗喻）是在两个不同事物之间进行比较，但它不直接点明两个事物之间的相似性，而是进行隐藏的比较，例如：All the world is a stage.整个世界是一台戏(用stage喻指all the world)。metonymy（转喻）指直接用比喻事物代替本体事物，例如：The buses inAmerica are on strike now.美国的公共汽车司机正在罢工（这里buses喻指司机drivers）。synecdoche（提喻）指用一般代替特殊或以特殊代替一般，部分代替整体或整体代替部分，或用原材料代表用该材料制造的东西。比如以hands代替persons，以Solomon代替a wise man，以the smiling year代替the spring。transferred epithet（移就）指用本应该描述甲事物性质状态的词语来形容乙事物，而乙事物却根本不具备这种性质或功能。例如题干中的“The plowman homewardplods hisweary way.”句中形容词“weary”本来应该修饰的是“the plowman”，作者在这里用来修饰“way”，使这句话勾勒出一幅筋疲力尽的农夫步履蹒跚地走向家园的画面。故本题选D。

  • 第7题：

    What is the main rhetoric device used in "The Pentagon was divided on the air strike. "


    A.Synecdoche.

    B.Metonymy.

    C.Metaphor.

    D.Oxymoron.

    答案：B
    解析：
    考查修辞学。题干意思是：“The Pentagon was divided on the air strike．”这句话主要用了什么修辞手法上面句子的字面意思是“五角大楼就空袭事件产生分歧”，显然不合理，实际应该是五角大楼里的人对空袭事件意见不。这里的“五角大楼”一词是美国国防部的代名词，指代在这座建筑里工作的人。英语中将借代通称为metonymy(换喻、转喻)，指用一个事物来取代另一个相关事物。这种修辞手法可以使语言更丰富、更生动，也可以避免重复。在新闻写作中，这个修辞手法会经常被用来帮助创造多样性。故选B。synecdoche(提喻)通常指用事物本身的一部分来代替其整体。比如以hands代persons，以wheels代car。metaphor(隐喻／暗喻)是简缩了的明喻，是将某一事物的名称用于另一事物，通过比较形成。oxymoron(矛盾修饰法)是把两个意思相反、互相矛盾或互不协调的词用在一起，以产生警句式的修辞效果。

    B．Simile.
    C．Metaphor.

    答案：C
    解析：
    考查英语修辞。pun指“双关”，simile指“明喻”，metaphor指“暗喻”，transferred epithet指“移就”。He is an all—purpose basket运用了隐喻的修辞手法，暗指“他是一个多面手”。故选C。

  • 第16题：

    A．Pun.
    B．Simile.
    C．Metaphor.
    D．Transferred epithet.

    答案：D
    解析：
    考查词语异常搭配的修辞效果。转移修饰(也称移就)是用表示甲性质或特征的形容词、过去分词或现在分词来修饰不同属性的乙，使词语搭配产生变异，造成突出。转移修饰能使人产生形象联想，收到情景交融、耐人寻味的表达效果。如题干中划线句子的eloquent pause一词意味深长：谁听罢那故事，都会心悦诚服，无言以对。只好默不作语了。
