题目解答
答案
解析
本题考查对文章时间细节的理解。解题关键在于准确识别原文中事件发生的时间点,并与题目中的时间描述进行对比。需要特别注意“last autumn”(去年秋天)与“last month”(上个月)这两个时间表达的差异。
判断句子真伪
原句:Last month he bought an old vase.(上个月他买了一个古花瓶。)
原文关键信息:
- 时间点:Last autumn(去年秋天),Mr. Young 在日本购买了花瓶。
- 后续事件:A month ago(一个月前),他搬了家。
逻辑分析:
- 时间顺序矛盾:
- 花瓶购买时间是“去年秋天”,而搬家发生在“一个月前”(即更接近当前的时间)。
- 若“上个月”购买花瓶,与原文中“去年秋天”购买的描述矛盾。
- 选项判断:
- 原文中明确提到购买时间为“last autumn”,而非“last month”,因此原句错误。
