5. When he says "I have watched death from the sidelines", the author may mean _______. A. he has nearly died recently B. he has watched many people dying C. he has learned his friend died young D. he has imagined his own death

题目解答

答案

我们来一步一步分析这个题目。 题目句子是:“I have watched death from the sidelines”。 首先,我们来理解这句话的字面意思和隐含意义。 - “watched death” 意思是“目睹死亡”。 - “from the sidelines” 是一个英语习语,原意是“从场外、旁观者的角度”,就像体育比赛中坐在场边看比赛的人,不是亲自参与,而是旁观。 - 所以整句话的比喻意义是:“我作为一个旁观者,看着死亡发生”。 接下来我们逐个分析选项: A. he has nearly died recently (他最近差点死了) → 如果是他自己差点死,那他应该是“亲身经历死亡”,而不是“从 sidelines 旁观死亡”。这与“sidelines”(旁观)矛盾。所以 A 不合适。 B. he has watched many people dying (他目睹了许多人死去) → 这个选项与“watched death from the sidelines”非常吻合。他没有亲身经历死亡,而是作为一个旁观者,看到别人死亡。这正是“从 sidelines 看死亡”的比喻意义。这个选项合理。 C. he has learned his friend died young (他得知他的朋友英年早逝) → 虽然这也涉及死亡,但只是单一事件,而且“learned”(得知)不等于“watched”(目睹)。而且“watched death”暗示的是一种持续或多次的观察,而不仅仅是听说一次朋友去世。所以 C 范围太窄,不够准确。 D. he has imagined his own death (他想象过自己的死亡) → 这是关于“想象”,而不是“目睹”。原文是“watched”,强调的是观察现实中的死亡,而不是内心想象。而且如果是想象自己的死亡,那也不太可能是“from the sidelines”(旁观自己死亡)——逻辑上有些矛盾。所以 D 也不合适。 综合来看,最符合“watched death from the sidelines”这个表达含义的是: **B. he has watched many people dying** 这句话表达的是作者多次以旁观者的身份目睹他人死亡,而不是自己经历或听说某一次死亡。 **答案:B** \boxed{B}

解析

本题考查对英语习语“from the sidelines”的理解,以及结合语境推断句子隐含含义的能力。关键在于理解“sidelines”的比喻意义——“作为旁观者”,而非亲身经历。需排除选项中与“旁观”矛盾或不匹配的选项。

  1. 解析习语
    “from the sidelines”原意为“从场外、旁观者的角度”,如体育比赛中的观众。引申到句子中,表示作者以旁观者的身份目睹死亡,而非亲身经历或想象。

  2. 选项分析

    • A. he has nearly died recently
      若是“差点死亡”,作者应是“亲身经历死亡”,与“旁观”矛盾,排除。
    • B. he has watched many people dying
      “目睹许多人死亡”与“从旁观者角度看死亡”完全吻合,正确。
    • C. he has learned his friend died young
      “听说朋友去世”是单一事件,且“learned”(听说)不等于“watched”(目睹),排除。
    • D. he has imagined his own death
      “想象死亡”是主观行为,与“旁观”矛盾,排除。

  • 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.

  • "There is a senseless concept that children grow up and leave home when they're 18,and the truth is far from that,"says sociologist Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin.Today,unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents."There is a major change in the middle class,"declares sociologist Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University,whose son,19,moved back in after an absence of eight months.Analysts list a variety of reasons for this return to the nest.The marriage age is rising,a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people.A high divorce rate and a declining remarriage rate are sending economically pressed and emotionally hurt survivors back to parental shelters.For some,the expense of an away-from-home college education has become so extremely great that many students now attend local schools.Even after graduation,young people find their wings clipped(夹住) by skyrocketing housing costs.Living at home,says Knighton,a school teacher,continues to give her security and moral support.Her mother agreed,"It's ridiculous for the kids to pay all that money for rent.It makes sense for kids to stay at home."But sharing the family home requires adjustments for all.There are the hassles over bathrooms,telephones and privacy.Some families,however,manage the delicate balancing act.But for others,it proves too difficult.Michelle Del Turco,24,has been home three times-and left three times."What I considered a social drink,my dad considered an alcohol problem,"she explains."He never liked anyone I dated,so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends'houses."Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on?Most psychologists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake.Children struggling to establish separate identities,can end up with"a sense of inadequacy,defeat and failure."And aging parents,who should be enjoying some financial and personal freedom,find themselves stuck with responsibilities.Many agree that brief visits,however,can work beneficially.63.According to the author,there was once a trend (趋势) in the U.S ____ .A.for middle class young adults to stay with their parents.B.for young adults to get jobs nearby in order to live with their parents.C.for married young adults to move back home after a lengthy absence.D.for young adults to leave their parents and live independently.64.Which of the following does not account for young adults returning to the nest? ____ A.Young adults find housing costs too high.B.Quite a number of young adults attend local schools.C.Young adults are psychologically and intellectually immature.D.Young adults seek parental comfort and moral support.65.One of the disadvantages of young adults returning to stay with their parents is that ____ .A.the young adults tend to be overprotected by their parentsB.there will unavoidably be inconveniences in everyday lifeC.most parents find it difficult to keep a bigger family goingD.public opinion is against young adults staying with their parents66.The word"hassles"in the passage (Para.3,Line 4)probably means ____ .A.agreementsB.worriesC.disadvantagesD.quarrels
