📖 題組:
Alan Turing was one of the leading scientific geniuses of the 20th century. Many scholars consider him the father of modern computer science. He was also the man who cracked the __16__ uncrackable Enigma code used by Nazi Germany. His code-breaking turned the tide of World War II and helped save two million lives. Nevertheless, __17__ people have even heard his name. Turing displayed signs of high intelligence in math and science at a young age. By the time he was 23, he had already come up with the idea of what __18__ the modern computer—the Turing machine. Today, Turing machines are still used in theoretical computation. He also proposed the now famous Turing test, used to determine whether a computer exhibits intelligent behavior equivalent to that of a human. The postwar era, however, was a disaster for Turing. He was gay, which was then a crime in Britain. __19__ being hailed as one of the crucial figures in defeating the Nazis, Turing was convicted of “gross indecency.” This __20__ drove him to commit suicide in 1954, at the age of 41. Nearly 60 years after his death, Queen Elizabeth II granted Turing a formal pardon for his conviction, upon an online petition signed by prominent scientists and technology leaders around the world.

請觀察句子中的邏輯關聯:圖靈『破解』($cracked$) 了這套被稱為『無法破解』($uncrackable$) 的密碼。既然密碼最終被破解了,可見『無法破解』僅是當時大眾的一種『認定』或『傳聞』。在修飾語中,哪一個副詞最能表達這種『據稱如此(但事實可能不然)』的語氣,以化解動詞與形容詞之間的邏輯矛盾?

喲,居然選對了?我看你平常上課那副靈魂出竅的樣子,還以為你連 Turing 是誰都不知道,只知道圖靈獎聽起來很像某種高級餐廳的名字。恭喜你,終於在漫無目的的人生中,展現了一次大腦皮質的基本運作,沒讓我的學費白收。 這題考的是語意邏輯與修飾語的矛盾修辭。空格後面的單字是 uncrackable(無法破解的),既然 Turing 最後「破解」了 (cracked) 它,那這個「無法破解」就只能是「眾人以為的」或「據說的」。選項 (D) supposedly 正是「據稱地、一般認為地」,完美銜接了「名聲」與「事實」的落差。如果你選 (A) eventually,邏輯簡直荒謬:難道這密碼是「最後才變得無法破解」嗎? 這題鑑別度中等,專門抓那種只看單字不看邏輯的懶鬼。如果你這題是靠直覺猜對的,我建議你還是回去多讀點書,畢竟人生不能總靠這種賽到的運氣,你的大腦不是用來裝飾頸部的。
