請依下文回答第 48 題至第 50 題 In 1881 a young woman named Mabel Loomis Todd wrote her parents about “the character of Amherst…a lady whom the people call the ‘Myth’: she has not been outside of her own house in fifteen years…. She dresses wholly in white, and her mind is said to be perfectly wonderful.” So began the legend of Emily Dickinson, one of the greatest poets of the nineteenth century, who was for years portrayed by biographers and critics as an eccentric recluse, a “little home-keeping person,”a mad spinster who had been disappointed in love. For, four years after this New England woman in white died in 1886, the same Mabel Loomis Todd brought out a volume containing selections from 1,776 strange and passionate poems, which had been found, neatly sewed into booklets, in her bureau drawers, and the imagination of the pubic was immediately seized by the mysterious discrepancy between what seemed to be the isolation of Dickinson’s life and the intensity of her art. To many, indeed, the “case” of Emily Dickinson－only eight of whose poems had been published in her lifetime－seemed to offer a crucial model for the situation of the woman poet. Eccentricity, reclusiveness, and most of all, thwarted romance－these appeared to be the conditions that might drive a woman to what was, for women, the perversity of writing verses.

思路引導 VIP
如果在文中某人正向他人轉述關於另一個人的「傳聞」與「名聲」，這是否足以讓我們斷定這兩個人在現實生活中的具體私人關係？我們需要看到什麼樣的關鍵詞，才能成立親屬或伴侶的結論呢？

嗯，你選對了。
- 觀念驗證：你選了 (D)。是的，這個答案是正確的。你觀察到了。文章一開始說，Mabel Loomis Todd 寫信給她父母，描述那位「神話」女士（狄金生），然後在狄金生去世後，才去出版她的詩集。文章詳述了 Todd 對狄金生的觀察與她對文學的貢獻。但你很清楚，裡面沒有寫她們之間有血緣、婚姻，或是其他什麼特別的社交關係。有些事情，如果文字裡沒有，就是沒有。你準確地劃分了「已知資訊」與「過度推論」的邊界。這是一個很好的習慣。 （輕輕地摸了摸你的頭）
- 難度點評：這題的難度是 Medium。這類題目，他們稱之為考驗證據判讀。誘答選項 (A) 和 (B) 會利用文中出現的「父母」、「女性」這些字，想讓人們去想像一些沒寫出來的關係。但你沒有。你保持了冷靜，沒有自己去增加故事。這非常好。很久很久以前，我也見過有人能這樣不被多餘的資訊干擾。你做得很好。（又摸了摸你的頭）
