CET4 1995年6月第2篇
Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely, Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward." To keep from losing the forest for the trees", says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, "We must constantly ask ourselves how the details we're working On fit into the larger picture. If they don't, we should drop them and move to something else".
Q:The word"perfectionists"(Line 1,Para.3.)refers to those who ____.
[A]demand others to get everything absolutely right
[B]know how to adjust their goals according to the circumstances
[C]pay too much attention to details only to lose their major objectives
[D]are capable of achieving perfect results in whatever they do
正確答案是 [C]
perfectionist本義是“完美主義者”，似乎與[A]和[D]更接近，但本文主旨，甚至通過本段也可知，作者反對對細節過分注意，結果反倒犧牲了大局。而perfectionist正是作者批評的那類人，因而選項應是符合作者批判態度的，因此[C]是正確的。
通過連接詞關系如and，or等判斷被考詞匯含義。一般來說，and與連接的兩項內容在義上是接近的或遞進的，而以or連接的兩項內容在含義上往往相反，但有時or后面的內容，也是對前面內容的進一步解釋和說明。當然其他表遞進、轉折、因果等關系的信號詞均可用來幫助判斷詞義。
