答案
A. Sensory details enable readers to experience a word picture through five senses.
解析
本题考查对描述性写作(descriptive writing)相关知识的理解。解题思路是对每个选项所描述的关于描述性写作的特点进行逐一分析,判断其是否正确。
- 选项A:
- 描述性写作中,感官细节(sensory details)是非常重要的元素。它包括视觉、听觉、嗅觉、味觉和触觉等五个感官方面的细节描述。
- 通过运用这些感官细节,作者能够让读者仿佛身临其境,通过自己的五种感官去体验文字所描绘的画面。所以选项A的描述是符合描述性写作特点的,是正确的。
- 选项B:
- 虽然对一个地方的完整描述可能会包含其位置(location)、周边环境(surroundings)和外观(appearance)等信息,但这并不是描述性写作的必然要求。
- 描述性写作可以根据作者的意图和重点,只选取其中部分内容进行描述,或者从其他角度进行描述。所以不能说这是描述性写作的一个绝对特征,选项B错误。
- 选项C:
- 使用生动的动词(vivid verbs)和名词(nouns)确实是描述性写作中常用的技巧之一,但不能说这是最常见的技巧。
- 描述性写作还可以运用比喻、拟人、夸张等多种修辞手法,以及丰富的形容词和副词等。所以选项C的说法过于绝对,是错误的。
- 选项D:
- 当描述一个人时,虽然可以从外貌特征(physical features)开始,然后过渡到行为动作(actions),但这并不是唯一的描述顺序。
- 作者也可以先描述人物的性格特点、行为习惯等,再介绍外貌等。所以选项D的描述过于局限,是错误的。
