6. Even the reader acquainted with the outlines of Pushkin’s biography will be (i)______ the

(ii)______ so vividly conveyed in Binyon’s biography. Not only was Pushkin’s personal correspondence intercepted and his movements (iii)______, but Tsar Nicholas I’s decision to oversee Pushkin’s career obliged Pushkin to submit all his manuscripts for inspection.

　　【分析】

　　①    先做第三空，第三空所在逻辑连接词为and表并列，并列的两个部分语义相同。and之前：普希金的个人信件被拦截了。and之后：他的行动被第三空格了。普希金的个人信件被拦截了，说明普希金的行动被监管了，所以第三空选H. monitored (监管)。

　　②    再看第二空，第二空要填的名词短语，表示的是在Binyon的传记中生动的呈现出来的东西。GRE的句子绝对不会无端出现无关的成分，这里Binyon的传记显然就是普希金的传记。从传记的描述看来，普希金的个人信件被拦截，普希金的行动被监管。第二空格要体现这类概念的词，所以第二空选D. suffocating lack of creative freedom (令人窒息的缺乏创作自由)。

　　③    再看第一空，即使是非常熟悉普希金传记叙述的读者也会因为普希金传记中生动地呈现出普希金令人窒息的缺乏创作自由而感到第一空格。第一空所在的逻辑连接词为even（即使），引导句内的让步转折。（举例：即使是坏人也会做好事。）所以第一空格填入一个词表示的是熟悉的普希金传记的读者不会做的事情，即对acquainted取反即可。所以B. confused by (感到困惑)， C. struck by (感到惊讶)待选。

　　④    我们要注意confused的用法，confused：unable to understand or think clearly，即当我们不明白一件事情发生的原因的时候可以填confused。但题干中的最后一句话，Tsar Nicholas I’s decision to oversee Pushkin’s career obliged Pushkin to submit all his manuscripts for inspection（沙皇尼古拉斯一世决定监管普希金的事业，迫使普希金上交他所有的手稿用于审查），这里既然交待了普希金被监管的原因，那就不会让熟悉他的人感到困惑，因此第一空就不能选B. confused by (感到困惑)，而应该选C. struck by (感到惊讶)

　　【翻译】

　　即使是熟悉普希金传记的读者也会因为Binyon传记中生动地呈现出普希金令人窒息的缺乏创作自由这个特点而感到惊讶。不仅是普希金的个人信件被拦截，他的行动被监管了，而且沙皇尼古拉斯一世要监管普希金事业的决定迫使普希金上交他所有的手稿用于审查。

　　【题源】

　　…, and even the reader acquainted with the bare outlines of Pushkin's biography (privileged upbringing, rebellious youth, exile, personal censorship by the tsar, marriage to a society beauty, untimely death in a duel) will be struck by the suffocating lack of creative freedom so vividly conveyed here. Pushkin's personal correspondence was intercepted, his movements monitored and his life closely tied to that of the court. Not only did Tsar Nicholas I's decision to oversee his career oblige him to submit all his manuscripts for inspection, but his perennially desperate finances entailed humiliating negotiations with the tsar's chief of secret police over his loans.
