题目解答
答案
参考答案:B
解析
考查要点：本题考查对英语谚语的理解能力，需要结合常见谚语的寓意和选项的逻辑对应进行判断。
解题核心：
- 明确原句核心：“Kill not the goose that lays the golden eggs” 是经典谚语，比喻不要为了眼前利益破坏长期收益的来源。
- 对比选项关键：需抓住“不要贪心破坏现有资源”这一核心，排除与“长期利益”无关的选项。
破题关键：
- 排除法：选项C、D明显偏离原句的“资源保护”主题，可优先排除。
- 对比A、B：A强调“接受小利益”，B强调“贪心导致失去更多”，需结合原句中“不要杀死鹅”的行为本质（破坏现有资源）判断。
选项分析
选项A
“接受小东西比拒绝它并希望以后得到更多更好”
- 问题：原句强调“保护资源”，而非“接受小利益与等待的对比”。
- 结论：与原句核心不符。
选项B
“任何人要求比已有更多的东西，很可能以后一无所获”
- 对应原句：杀死鹅（现有资源）会失去金蛋（未来收益），体现贪心破坏现有资源导致未来损失。
- 结论：与原句核心高度一致。
选项C
“太多人同时做同一件事会导致混乱”
- 问题：原句未涉及群体行为，主题无关。
- 结论：直接排除。
选项D
“每件不愉快的事情之后都有更好的”
- 问题：原句是警示性寓言，而非“逆境后有希望”的观点。
- 结论：与原句无关。
