题目解答

答案

我们来一步一步分析这道题目。

题目问的是:哈利·波特系列创造了什么历史纪录?

四个选项如下:

A. 该系列第七本书的总销售额达到150亿美元。
B. 该系列第七本书最终售出了1100万册。
C. 当地书店在发售日前七次售罄。
D. 该系列最后一本书成为历史上销售最快的书。

我们结合题干中的信息来判断:

原文中提到:

> "Now that Rowling has sold millions of copies of her Harry Potter books and has seen each one adapted into films, we can safely say that this series is a global phenomenon."

这句话说明:罗琳的《哈利·波特》系列卖出了数百万册,并且每本书都被改编成电影,因此这个系列是一个全球现象。

但这句话并没有直接说明具体的历史纪录是什么。不过,我们可以通过常识和对《哈利·波特》系列的了解来判断哪个选项最符合“历史纪录”。

逐个分析选项:

A. 第七本书总销售额达到150亿美元。
这个数字太夸张了。150亿美元相当于上百亿人民币,远远超过任何一本书的收入。即使是整个《哈利·波特》电影系列的总收入也没有这么高。所以这个选项明显错误。

B. 第七本书最终售出了1100万册。
这个数字偏低。实际上,《哈利·波特与死亡圣器》(第七本)在发售第一天就在美国卖出了超过880万册,全球首日销量更高。最终销量远超1100万册(仅美国就卖了数千万册)。所以这个选项也不准确。

C. 当地书店在发售日前七次售罄。
这个说法模糊不清。“七次”是指七本书都售罄吗?还是同一次发售重复七次?而且“当地书店”范围太小,不足以构成“历史纪录”。这个选项缺乏明确性和权威性,也不像是一个正式的历史纪录。

D. 该系列最后一本书成为历史上销售最快的书。
这个是符合事实的。《哈利·波特与死亡圣器》在2007年7月21日发行时,创下了多项销售纪录。例如:

  • 在美国,首日销量超过880万册,创下美国图书销售纪录。
  • 全球范围内,首日销量超过1100万册。
  • 在英国,首日售出270万册。
  • 被吉尼斯世界纪录认证为“最畅销的书”之一,并且是“最快销售的书”之一。

因此,选项 D 所说的“最后一本书成为历史上销售最快的书”是符合事实的,并且是一个公认的历史纪录。

结论:

正确答案是:D. The final book in the series became the fastest-selling book in history.

答案:\boxed{D}

解析

本题考查对文章内容的理解以及对选项信息的判断能力。解题思路是先明确题目所问的内容,然后将每个选项与文章内容进行对比分析,判断其是否符合文章所表达的意思以及是否能构成合理的历史纪录。

  • 选项A:文章中并没有提到第七本书总销售额达到150亿美元,而且这个数字过于夸张,不符合实际情况,所以该选项错误。
  • 选项B:文章中没有明确给出第七本书最终售出了1100万册的信息,并且根据常识,《哈利·波特与死亡圣器》的实际销量远超1100万册,所以该选项不准确。
  • 选项C:文章中没有提到当地书店在发售日前七次售罄的内容,而且这个说法模糊不清,范围太小,不足以构成历史纪录,所以该选项错误。
  • 选项D:根据常识,《哈利·波特与死亡圣器》(该系列最后一本书)在发行时创下了多项销售纪录,被吉尼斯世界纪录认证为“最畅销的书”之一,并且是“最快销售的书”之一,所以该选项所说的内容符合事实,是一个公认的历史纪录,该选项正确。

  • Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.

  • 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.

  • Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an (52) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never (53) likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child’s hearing he is (54) to copy this procedure. Take it (55) granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a (56) dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him (57) back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child (58) meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food (59) he can hurry back to his toys. Under (60) circumstances must a child be coaxed or forced to eat.55()。A. withB. asC. overD. for

  • 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. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
