题目解答
答案
解析
本题考查对文章中关于“ethnocentrism(民族中心主义)”概念的理解以及对相关陈述的判断。解题思路如下:
- 首先,在文章中找到对“ethnocentrism”的定义描述。文中提到“Ethnocentrism refers to the behavior or belief that favors the nation, culture, or group to which one belongs, often accompanied by feelings of dislike for other groups. Influenced by ethnocentrism, one usually regards his or her own culture as'more appropriate, natural, correct and good' and regards other cultures as 'inferior and abnormal'”,这表明民族中心主义是一种偏爱自己所属的国家、文化或群体的行为或信念,并且会认为自己的文化更优越,其他文化低劣。
- 接着,关注文章中关于民族中心主义导致的结果的描述。文中指出“So ethnocentrism is very likely to lead to pride in one's own culture and prejudice against other cultures”,即民族中心主义很可能导致对自己文化的自豪感和对其他文化的偏见。
- 最后,分析题目陈述“Ethnocentrism often makes someone proud of their own culture and prejudiced against other cultures”。题目中的“often”(经常)与文章中的“very likely”(很可能)语义相近,都表达了民族中心主义会引发对自身文化自豪和对其他文化偏见这种情况的常见性。所以该陈述与文章内容相符。
