The more definitions a given noun has, the more valuable is each one. Multiple definitions, each subtly different from all the others, convey multiple shades of meaning. They expand the uses of the word; language is enriched, thought is widened, and inter-
line pretations increase or dilate to fill the potentialities of association. The very impossi-
5 bility of absoluteness in the definition of certain nouns adds to the levels of connotation they may reach. The inner life of a writer often says more than most readers can know; the mind of a reader can discover truths that go beyond the intent or perhaps even the comprehension of the writer. And all of it finds expression because a word can mean many things.
Description
The passage claims that the capacity of words to have multiple meanings can greatly enhance the resources of a language. The passage describes how this increases possibilities for interpretation and the expression of ideas, thus enriching the relationship between readers and writers.
The passage suggests that a writers use of nouns that have multiple definitions can have which of the following effects on the relationship between writer and reader?
选项
A、It can encourage the reader to consider how the writer’s life might have influenced the work.
B、It can cause the reader to become frustrated with the writers failure to distinguish between subtle shades of meaning.
C、It can allow the reader to discern in a work certain meanings that the writer did not foresee.
D、It allows the writer to provide the reader with clues beyond the word itself in order to avoid ambiguity.
E、It allows the writer to present unfamiliar ideas to the reader more efficiently.
答案
C
解析
Lines 7-8 clearly indicate that multiple meanings of words enable readers to "discover truths that go beyond the intent or perhaps even the comprehension of the writer"; hence, Choice C is the correct answer. Choices A, B, D, and E all deal with topics that are not mentioned in the passage: the writer’s life, the reader’s frustration, the avoidance of ambiguity, and the question of how efficiently multiple definitions can aid in the presentation of unfamiliar ideas.
