I’m not the one who brought them together or decided which individuals deserved a place in the magic circle. I serve【C1】________in the roles of custodian and interpreter, mindful that I am the latest in a long line of collectors and librarians who have cared for the manuscripts of figures from the past. I’ve learned from them, argued with them, and—yes—loved them, not because they were【C2】________but because they were humans, and because they granted me such rich works of art. Reading one of their manuscripts is different from reading their work in【C3】________because writing, as is noted, harbors all sorts of secrets: remainders of the author’s creative decisions and passing thoughts, and【C4】________ of their emotional states in particular moments.

【答案解析】名词辨析题。分析句子结构可知,空格前是一个完整的句子,空格后是动名词短语,由此判断,空格中可填入介词,构成介词短语充当句子的状语。空格所在句的结构为It is impossible to do sth.________doing sth.,意思为“在看到《西部女郎》手写草稿中的一页时,不可能抓住普契尼创作时的能量甚至是狂热”。“看到手写草稿中的一页”与“抓住作者创作时的能量甚至是狂热”是因果关系,是看到手稿为读者带来了这种情感上的体验。结合备选介词可知,本句可通过It is impossible…without doing sth.这种句型构成双重否定。故without为答案。
