2)分散列舉
    分散列舉的各項可能出現(xiàn)于同一段落之中,或分布于全文各段。對于分散列舉,需要根據(jù)題干或選項定位原文,將各個選項與所對應的原文一一進行比較,在原文未提到或與原文相矛盾的選項為正確答案。例如,
    Perhaps the most striking quality of satiric literature is its freshness, its originality of perspective. Satire rarely offers original ideas. Instead it presents the familiar in a new form. Satirists do not offer the world new philosophies. What they do is look at familiar conditions from a perspective that makes these conditions seem foolish, harmful or affected. Satire jars us out of complacence into a pleasantly shocked realization that many of the values we unquestioningly accept are false. Don Quixote makes chivalry seem absurd, Brave New World ridicules the pretensions of science, A Modest Proposal dramatizes starvation by advocating cannibalism. None of these ideas is original. Chivalry was suspect before Cervantes, humanists objected to the claims of pure science before Aldous Huxley and people were aware of famine before Swift. It was not the originality of the idea that made these satires popular. It was the manner of expression the satiric method that made them interesting and entertaining. Satires are read because they are aesthetically satisfying works of art, not because they are morally wholesome or ethically instructive. They are stimulating and refreshing because with commonsense briskness they brush away illusions and secondhand opinions. With spontaneous irreverence, satire rearranges perspectives, scrambles familiar objects into incongruous juxtaposition and speaks in a personal idiom instead of abstract platitude.
    Satire exists because there is need for it. It has lived because readers appreciate a refreshing stimulus, an irreverent reminder that they lived in a world of platitudinous thinking, cheap moralizing, and foolish philosophy. Satire serves to prod people into an awareness of truth though rarely to any action on behalf of truth. Satire tends to remind people that much of what they see, hear, and read in popular media is sanctimonious, sentimental, and only partially true. Life resembles in only a slight degree the popular image of it. Soldiers rarely hold the ideals that movies attribute to them, nor do ordinary citizens devote their lives to unselfish service of humanity. Intelligent people know these things but tend to forget them when they do not hear them expressed.
    The various purposes of satire include all of the following EXCEPT
    (A) introducing readers to unfamiliar situations
    (B) brushing away illusions
    (C) reminding readers of the truth
    (D) exposing false values.
    這道列舉題的選項分布于文中各處,是一道分散列舉題。其中選項(B)對應第一段倒數(shù)第二句…they brush away illusions and secondhand opinions,選項(C)對應第二段第三句:Satire serves to prod people into an awareness of truth though rarely to any action on behalf of truth,(D)對應第一段第五句:Satire jars us out of complacence into a pleasantly shocked realization that many of the values we unquestioningly accept are false。(A)與原文第一段的意思“satire并無新意,只是表達獨特”相矛盾,符合題意,為正確答案。
