题目解答

答案

我们来逐句分析这段文字,并找出正确答案。

原文内容如下:

> Vegetable planting has a respectable tradition.
> 蔬菜种植有着悠久而值得尊敬的传统。

这句话是全文的主题句,说明蔬菜种植不是新鲜事,而是一种有历史传统的活动。

> In April 1649, locals responded to high prices and food shortages by cultivating vegetables on common land in Southern England.
> 1649年4月,南英格兰的当地人为了应对高物价和食品短缺,开始在公共土地上种植蔬菜。

这里说明:蔬菜种植曾被用来应对食物短缺问题,是一种增加食物供应的手段,而且发生在1649年,说明历史久远。

> The practice of throwing seed bombs to turn vacant plots of land green took off in 1970s New York,
> 把种子炸弹扔到空地上让荒地变绿的做法在1970年代的纽约流行起来,

这说明蔬菜种植(或绿化种植)也被用于改善城市环境,让空地变绿,美化城市。

> and has been revived (使复活) by green-thumbed (有园艺才能的) social media influencers who defy local US regulations in a war on ugly spots in cities.
> 并且近年来被有园艺才能的社交媒体影响者重新推动,他们为了消除城市中的“丑陋角落”,甚至无视美国当地的法规。

这进一步说明:现在人们用这种方式来改善城市景观,对抗城市中难看的角落,尽管可能违法。

现在我们来看选项:

A) It all started in 1649 in Southern England.
“蔬菜种植始于1649年的南英格兰。”

错误。文中说1649年当地人开始在公共土地上种菜,但并没有说蔬菜种植“始于”那时那地。而且第一句说“有悠久传统”,说明更早就有。所以A以偏概全,错误。

B) It is protected by US government regulations
“它受到美国政府法规的保护。”

错误。文中最后一句说这些社交媒体影响者是“无视当地法规”(defy local US regulations)的,说明不仅不受保护,反而是被限制的。所以B与原文相反,错误。

C) It has long been used to increase food supply and improve urban landscape.
“它长期以来被用来增加食物供应和改善城市景观。”

正确。

  • “增加食物供应”对应1649年应对食品短缺的种植行为。
  • “改善城市景观”对应1970年代纽约扔种子炸弹绿化空地,以及现在对抗“城市丑陋角落”的做法。
  • “long been used”对应从1649年到1970年代再到现在的延续性。

所以C全面、准确地概括了文中的信息。

D) It has been popularised worldwide with the increasing influence of social media.
“随着社交媒体影响力的增加,它已在全球普及。”

文中只提到社交媒体影响者“复兴”了这种做法,但只说是在美国(defy local US regulations),并没有提到“全球普及”(worldwide)。所以“worldwide”属于过度推断,文中无据。D错误。

正确答案是:C

答案:\boxed{C}

解析

本题考查对文章内容的理解和推理能力。解题思路是先通读文章,把握文章主旨,再对每个选项进行逐一分析,判断其是否与文章内容相符。

  1. 分析文章主旨:文章开篇指出蔬菜种植有着悠久的传统,接着分别举例说明蔬菜种植在不同时期的用途,1649年是为了应对高物价和食物短缺,1970年代纽约是为了让荒地变绿,现在则是被社交媒体影响者用于改善城市景观。
  2. 分析选项A:
    • 文章提到1649年南英格兰的当地人开始在公共土地上种植蔬菜以应对食物短缺,但并没有说蔬菜种植始于1649年的南英格兰。
    • 且文章第一句就表明蔬菜种植有悠久传统,说明其起源更早。所以选项A以偏概全,不符合文章内容。
  3. 分析选项B:
    • 文章最后一句提到社交媒体影响者为了改善城市景观,无视美国当地法规。
    • 这说明蔬菜种植这种行为不仅没有受到美国政府法规的保护,反而受到了限制。所以选项B与原文内容相反,不符合要求。
  4. 分析选项C:
    • “增加食物供应”对应1649年当地人种植蔬菜应对食品短缺的行为。
    • “改善城市景观”对应1970年代纽约扔种子炸弹绿化空地以及现在对抗城市“丑陋角落”的做法。
    • “long been used”体现了从1649年到1970年代再到现在蔬菜种植用途的延续性。所以选项C全面、准确地概括了文章内容,是正确的。
  5. 分析选项D:
    • 文章仅提到社交媒体影响者复兴了这种做法,且是在美国的情况。
    • 并没有提及蔬菜种植已在全球普及,“worldwide”属于过度推断,在文中没有依据。所以选项D不符合文章内容。

  • The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

  • 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.

  • question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty
