题目解答

答案

答案:ABC 满分:2.5 分得分:1.25

解析

转喻(metonymy)是一种通过事物间的密切关联,用一个具体事物代替另一个事物的修辞手法。例如,用“白宫”指代“美国政府”。本题需判断四个选项中哪三个未使用转喻。解题关键在于识别是否存在直接的替代关系,而非比喻或象征。

选项A

描述:用“loyal dogs”(忠诚的狗)形容女性角色的陪伴。
分析:此处“狗”是字面意思,未用狗象征其他事物(如男性角色),无替代关系,故不构成转喻。

选项B

描述:通过“soft-voiced”和“textured voice”描写声音特点。
分析:声音的质地是直接描述,未用声音替代其他事物,无替代关系,故不构成转喻。

选项C

描述:用“Humpty-Dumpty”比喻破碎的形象。
分析:此处为明喻(用“like”比较),而非直接替代。转喻需省略比较词,直接以Humpty-Dumpty指代破碎状态,因此不构成转喻。

选项D

描述:用“shadow”(影子)指代某人或某种力量。
分析:影子与人的存在密切相关,此处用影子直接替代人的存在,形成替代关系,属于转喻。

  • The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.

  • "There is a senseless concept that children grow up and leave home when they're 18,and the truth is far from that,"says sociologist Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin.Today,unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents."There is a major change in the middle class,"declares sociologist Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University,whose son,19,moved back in after an absence of eight months.Analysts list a variety of reasons for this return to the nest.The marriage age is rising,a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people.A high divorce rate and a declining remarriage rate are sending economically pressed and emotionally hurt survivors back to parental shelters.For some,the expense of an away-from-home college education has become so extremely great that many students now attend local schools.Even after graduation,young people find their wings clipped(夹住) by skyrocketing housing costs.Living at home,says Knighton,a school teacher,continues to give her security and moral support.Her mother agreed,"It's ridiculous for the kids to pay all that money for rent.It makes sense for kids to stay at home."But sharing the family home requires adjustments for all.There are the hassles over bathrooms,telephones and privacy.Some families,however,manage the delicate balancing act.But for others,it proves too difficult.Michelle Del Turco,24,has been home three times-and left three times."What I considered a social drink,my dad considered an alcohol problem,"she explains."He never liked anyone I dated,so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends'houses."Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on?Most psychologists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake.Children struggling to establish separate identities,can end up with"a sense of inadequacy,defeat and failure."And aging parents,who should be enjoying some financial and personal freedom,find themselves stuck with responsibilities.Many agree that brief visits,however,can work beneficially.63.According to the author,there was once a trend (趋势) in the U.S ____ .A.for middle class young adults to stay with their parents.B.for young adults to get jobs nearby in order to live with their parents.C.for married young adults to move back home after a lengthy absence.D.for young adults to leave their parents and live independently.64.Which of the following does not account for young adults returning to the nest? ____ A.Young adults find housing costs too high.B.Quite a number of young adults attend local schools.C.Young adults are psychologically and intellectually immature.D.Young adults seek parental comfort and moral support.65.One of the disadvantages of young adults returning to stay with their parents is that ____ .A.the young adults tend to be overprotected by their parentsB.there will unavoidably be inconveniences in everyday lifeC.most parents find it difficult to keep a bigger family goingD.public opinion is against young adults staying with their parents66.The word"hassles"in the passage (Para.3,Line 4)probably means ____ .A.agreementsB.worriesC.disadvantagesD.quarrels
