例 Ⅰ：
The ---------- of mass literacy coincided with the first industrial revolution; in turn, the new expansion in literacy, as well as cheaper printing, helped nurture the ---------- of popular literature.
(A) building ... mistrust
(B) reappearance ... display
(C) receipt ... source
(D) selection ... influence
(E) emergence ... rise
〖解答〗
在空格Ⅰ处，需在定冠词和介词(of)之间代入一名词，以说明"mass literacy"方面的某一情形。在第二句句子开头，主语the expansion in literacy显然是对前述的mass literacy作某种形式的复述，这便可将介于定冠词和介词in之间的expansion提取出来代入空格Ⅰ。在空格Ⅱ处，又需在定冠词和介词(of)之间代入一名词。从动词"helped nurture"可判断出一种因果关系，按因果统一律的原则，可将作为原因的expansion移入空格Ⅱ作为结果。这样，语法结构相同的空格Ⅰ和空格Ⅱ应代入两个与expansion为同(近)义的词汇，正确答案为(E)。
