Irony can, after a fashion, become a mode of escape: to laugh at the terrors of life is in some sense to ______ them.
(A) overstate (B) revitalize (C) corroborate (D) evade (E) license
在例子中,after a fashion是句子的状语,但是分割了can和become,所以容易让考生在理解句子的时候造成意群理解的割裂。因此,我们只需要把此状语忽略,句子可变化为:
Irony can become a mode of escape: to laugh at the terrors of life is in some sense to _______ them.
化简后,句子的意思变得更加明显,即冒号前表达的 “讽刺是一种逃避的形式”这一意思在冒号后被重复,因此很容易看出空格要表达“escape”的意思,故(D)evade符合此推理,表达了“逃避、规避”的意思,为正确答案。
