    (一) 節(jié)選出第二空所在部分
    1. Prices for vintage prints sodrastically (ii) ______in the 1990sthatone of these photographs might fetch a hundred timesas much as a nonvintage print of the same image.
    2. Blank2中應(yīng)填入一個(gè)動(dòng)詞,表示VP的價(jià)格在1990年代的變動(dòng),由于沒有反義關(guān)聯(lián)元素,且只有so… that… 結(jié)構(gòu)存在,故分句之間是同一關(guān)系,且沒有否定詞,因此對應(yīng)的單詞之間是同義關(guān)系。
    3. 前半句說到價(jià)格的增長,that引導(dǎo)的后半句中對于價(jià)格增長的描述只有fetch a hundred times,因而VP的價(jià)格在1990年代的10年間較NonVP來說增長了上百倍,因此這應(yīng)該是一種短時(shí)間且迅速的增長。
