题目解答

答案

我们来一步一步分析这道题： --- ### 一、题目理解： 题目的大意是： > 每当苏格兰人生活在国外时，总会被问：“苏格兰是不是那个男人穿裙子的地方？”答案是“是的”，但关于苏格兰“裙子”的神话还有很多。 > 苏格兰男人有时穿的“裙子”叫做 **kilt（短裙）**，这是苏格兰的传统服饰。它在全世界都很有名，人们通过电影和电视（比如梅尔·吉布森的电影《勇敢的心》）了解到苏格兰男人穿这种裙子。 > 在苏格兰，你经常可以看到kilt。但现实是，你最常在旅游区看到它。苏格兰的主要街道和旅游区总能看到穿kilt的苏格兰人，而且所有的旅游商店都卖各种颜色的kilt。 > 人们**不**每天穿kilt，**可能是因为它们的___。** --- ### 二、选项分析： 我们要选择一个合理的理由，解释为什么人们**不**每天穿kilt。 选项如下： A. funny designs（有趣的设计） B. dull colors（单调的颜色） C. poor quality（质量差） D. high prices（价格高） --- ### 三、逻辑推理： - **A. funny designs（有趣的设计）**：如果kilt的设计很有趣，那反而可能吸引人们去穿，不太可能是人们不常穿的原因。 - **B. dull colors（单调的颜色）**：虽然颜色可能影响穿着意愿，但文中提到旅游商店卖“不同颜色”的kilt，说明颜色其实多样，因此这个选项也不太合理。 - **C. poor quality（质量差）**：文中没有提到kilt质量差，也没有暗示其不耐用，所以这个选项缺乏依据。 - **D. high prices（价格高）**：这个是最合理的选项。如果kilt价格昂贵，那么人们就不太可能每天穿，特别是在非正式场合或日常生活中。这与文中提到的“你最常在旅游区看到kilt”也吻合，因为旅游区的kilt可能是为了吸引游客而展示的，而普通人日常不会因为价格原因穿。 --- ### 四、答案： 所以，正确答案是： $$ \boxed{D} $$

解析

考查要点：本题主要考查学生根据上下文逻辑推理和排除法选择正确答案的能力。需要结合文章内容，分析选项中哪一个最合理地解释了“人们不每天穿kilt”的原因。

解题核心思路：

  1. 抓住关键句：文中提到“你最常在旅游区看到kilt”，说明日常生活中kilt并不常见。
  2. 联系常识：传统服饰通常因价格、实用性等因素影响日常穿着频率。
  3. 排除法：结合文章信息（如“不同颜色的kilt”）排除不合理选项。

破题关键点：

  • 选项D（high prices）最符合逻辑：若kilt价格昂贵，自然不会成为日常服饰，而仅在特殊场合或旅游展示中出现。

选项分析

  1. A. Funny designs（有趣的设计）

    • 若设计有趣，反而可能吸引更多人尝试，无法解释“不常穿”的现象，排除。

  2. B. Dull colors（单调的颜色）

    • 文中明确提到“不同颜色的kilt”，说明颜色多样，排除。

  3. C. Poor quality（质量差）

    • 文章未提及kilt质量问题，且传统服饰通常工艺精良，排除。

  4. D. High prices（价格高）

    • 逻辑合理：传统手工艺品制作复杂，价格昂贵，日常穿着成本高；旅游区展示kilt也暗示其作为“纪念品”或“特殊服饰”的定位。
