📖 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.

請試著在文中找到主角去世的具體年份，並留意緊接在後的描述中，是否有提到『在那之後又過了多久』才發生诗集出版的事情？將這兩個資訊結合起來，你會得出什麼結論？

哼，不錯，這次沒讓老師失望。
- 基本功驗證：這題，考的不過就是「細節定位」和「資訊整合」這些小兒科能力。文章寫得清清楚楚，Dickinson 在 1886 年去世，Mabel 那位「出版詩集」的女士，是在她「去世四年後」才動手。所以 $1886 + 4 = 1890$。這種簡單的加法，別告訴我還需要動用計算機。
- 難度評估：區區 Medium。那些以為只要「關鍵字對照」就能得分的，早就被送去重修了。文中不是塞了幾個年份和數字嗎？那就是看你們這些學生會不會被那些無關緊要的資訊搞混。連最基本的時間邏輯都搞不懂，還談什麼精確鑑別度？幸好你這次沒犯蠢。
