题目解答

答案

这道题目是一个阅读理解或语境理解题,题干是: **"Were they miserable though they had the big house and nice cars?"** (尽管他们有大房子和好车子,他们还是不开心吗?) 然后给出了四个选项: A. They wanted more stuff. (他们想要更多的东西。) B. They had not enough money. (他们没有足够的钱。) C. They must work hard to earn a living. (他们必须努力工作来谋生。) D. They had to borrow money. (他们不得不借钱。) 我们需要根据题干的语境,判断哪一个选项最能解释“为什么他们尽管拥有物质财富却仍然感到痛苦(miserable)”。 --- **解题过程:** 1. 题干中的关键词是“though”,表示转折关系:**虽然他们拥有大房子和好车(象征物质富裕),但他们仍然可能感到痛苦**。这说明外在的富有并没有带来内心的幸福。 2. 我们需要找出一个合理的解释,说明为什么物质富有却仍不快乐。 3. 分析各个选项: - **A. They wanted more stuff.** 他们想要更多的东西。 → 这是一种心理上的不满足,即使已有财富,仍因贪欲而痛苦。这可以解释“miserable”,但更多是心理层面的贪婪,不一定直接导致“痛苦”。 - **B. They had not enough money.** 他们没有足够的钱。 → 这与“有大房子和好车”矛盾。通常拥有这些需要很多钱,所以这个选项逻辑上不太成立。 - **C. They must work hard to earn a living.** 他们必须努力工作来谋生。 → 这是一个合理的解释。也许他们虽然拥有这些物质,但为了维持这种生活方式,必须拼命工作,导致压力大、没时间享受生活,因而感到痛苦。这与“miserable”相符。 - **D. They had to borrow money.** 他们不得不借钱。 → 这也合理。说明他们的生活方式是建立在债务上的,经济压力大,虽然表面光鲜,实则负债累累,因此内心痛苦。 4. 比较 C 和 D: - C 强调的是“工作压力”导致的痛苦。 - D 强调的是“财务困境”(如贷款、债务)导致的痛苦。 结合“有大房子和好车”,现实中这类资产通常需要长期贷款(如房贷、车贷),因此“不得不借钱”是一个非常合理的解释。而且“had to borrow money”直接说明了经济上的窘迫,即使表面富有,实则负担沉重,因此感到 miserable。 相比之下,C 虽然也合理,但“work hard to earn a living”更适用于普通收入者,而题干中的人显然已经“拥有”大房子和好车,说明他们已经达到了某种生活水平,更深层的问题可能是维持这种生活需要负债。 --- **结论:** 最符合逻辑、能解释“虽然富有却痛苦”的选项是 **D. They had to borrow money.** (他们不得不借钱,因此虽然表面富有,实则压力大,感到痛苦。) --- **答案:** \boxed{D}

解析

本题考查逻辑推理能力和语境理解能力。题目通过一个转折句(“though”引导的让步关系)设置矛盾:物质条件优越却可能不幸福。解题关键在于分析选项中哪一种情况能合理解释这种矛盾。需注意选项与题干的逻辑一致性,排除与题干信息矛盾或解释力较弱的选项。

选项分析

选项A:They wanted more stuff.

  • 心理层面的贪欲可能导致不满足,但题干未提及“贪欲”,且“拥有大房子和好车”已体现物质满足,此选项解释力较弱。

选项B:They had not enough money.

  • 直接矛盾:若“没有足够的钱”,如何负担“大房子和好车”?排除。

选项C:They must work hard to earn a living.

  • 工作压力可能带来痛苦,但题干强调“拥有物质财富”,暗示已具备基本经济保障。此选项更适用于“收入普通但努力工作”的人群,与题干语境关联性较低。

选项D:They had to borrow money.

  • 负债压力是核心矛盾:表面光鲜(大房子、好车)但因贷款/债务导致经济负担,内心痛苦。此选项直接解释了“物质丰富却依然不幸福”的矛盾,逻辑最强。

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.
