9.Nowadays life models—men and women who pose in the nude for artist—seem curiously _________,relics of a bygone age when art students labored amid skeletons and anatomical charts,learning to draw the human body as painstakingly as medical students learn to_________ it.
(A) anachronistic...sketch
(B) archaic...dissect
(C) contemporary...diagnose
(D) stereotyped...examine
(E) daring...cure
为啥不能选E呢,

这个句子很长,结构复杂,但主要意思还是比较容易辨认出来的:

人体模特(life models)是供艺术生画画用的,而学生画人体(human body)刻苦用功(painstakingly),就像医科学生学习解剖(dissect)人体一样.不过,现在人体模特似乎(seem)已经过时(archaic)了,成为了一个过去(bygone)的时代的遗迹,这令人觉得奇怪(curiously).


这种词汇题,关键看哪个(些)词更符合上下文,当然还需要我们具备一些常识.B选项的词语填入空格之后,句子表达很合理.如果换成E项,daring 意为“大胆的”,cure意为“治疗”,显然说“治疗人体”不合适.


可以翻译如下:

如今,奇怪的是,人体模特(给艺术工作者裸体展示自己的男子和女子)似乎已经过时了,成为了一个时代的遗产.而在那个时代,艺术生苦熬在人体和解剖图中,学习描绘人体,就像医科学生学习解剖人体一样用功.
