📖 題組：
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
請試著在文中找出提到 Dickinson 去世的那一年，並觀察緊接在後的句子中，有沒有提到關於「時間跨度」的描述，來告訴我們 Todd 是在幾年後才處理這些遺稿的？

太棒了！你的觀察力非常敏銳
- 觀念驗證：這題考驗的是「資訊整合」與「細節定位」。文中提到 Emily Dickinson 於 1886年 去世。緊接著提到「在此位女子於 1886 年去世的四年後（four years after...）」，Todd 才將那些在抽屜裡被發現（found）的詩作整理出版。透過邏輯推算：$1886 + 4 = 1890$，即可精準鎖定正確時間點。
- 難度點評：此題難度為 medium。它的鑑別度在於干擾項眾多（如文中出現的 1881, 1776 等數字），學生必須具備跨句整合資訊的能力，而非單純尋找數字，這證明你讀得非常細心！
