例 Ⅳ：
Without necessarily doubting the original ---------- of Tao-Chi's religious beliefs, one may note that he no longer mentions his faith in his writings, after a successful trip to Peking where he made friends with the Manchu, who ---------- the beliefs he had held.
(A) truth ... originated
(B) sincerity ... opposed
(C) piety ... confirmed
(D) source ... discerned
(E) advisability ... mirrored
〖解答〗
本題為間接因果關系。先處理空格Ⅱ：題中陳述“某人不再提及其宗教信仰”(he no longer mentions his faith)。顯然，作為結果，它事出有因，以"who"引導的定語從句即是這一原因之陳述。由于結果帶有貶義，故原因相應為貶義，唯(B) opposed為正確。其它四項代入后均不會導致現(xiàn)有的結果。在空格Ⅰ處，(B) sincerity自然而然為正確。
〖詞匯〗
piety: 虔誠
discern: 覺察，識別
advisability: 可取，明智，適當
mirror: 1.反映 2.模仿
〖中譯〗
在無甚必要懷疑道氏宗教信仰初時的誠摯性的同時，我們注意到在一次成功的北京之行后，他在其著作中對其信仰已鮮有提及。而在北京，他與滿州人過住甚密，后者則對他所懷有的宗教信仰斷然反對。
