题目解答
答案
我们来一步一步分析这个题目。
题目是:
Michael Alderman is serving on an advisory committee for free.
(迈克尔·奥尔德曼正在无偿地担任一个咨询委员会的成员。)
我们需要判断这个陈述是 True(正确)、False(错误),还是 Not Given(未提及)。
第一步:找出文中关于 Michael Alderman 的相关信息。
原文中提到:
> Both Doctor McCarron and Doctor Alderman have connections to the Salt Institute, a trade group for the salt industry. Doctor Alderman is a member of an advisory committee (咨询委员会). But he says he receives no money from the group.
翻译:
> McCarron 博士和 Alderman 博士都与盐业协会(Salt Institute)有联系,这是一个盐业的行业组织。Alderman 博士是咨询委员会的成员,但他表示他没有从该组织获得任何金钱。
第二步:分析题干和原文的对应关系。
题干说:“Michael Alderman is serving on an advisory committee for free.”
意思是:他正在无偿地担任咨询委员会的成员。
原文明确说:“he says he receives no money from the group.”
即:他声称自己没有从该组织获得金钱。
这说明他没有拿钱,也就是无偿服务。
虽然原文用了“he says”(他表示),但题干只是陈述一个事实,而原文也明确记录了这个说法。在阅读理解题中,如果原文明确说某人声称某事,且没有其他信息反驳,我们通常接受这个信息为真。
因此,题干的陈述与原文信息一致。
第三步:判断选项
- True:题干与原文信息一致 → ✅
- False:与原文矛盾 → ❌
- Not Given:原文没有相关信息 → ❌(但原文其实有提到)
结论:
题干信息在原文中有明确支持,因此答案是 True。
答案:
\boxed{\text{True}}
解析
本题考查对文章细节信息的理解和判断能力。解题思路是先在原文中找到与题目相关的内容,然后将题目陈述与原文信息进行细致比对,根据比对结果判断题目陈述的正确性。
- 首先,在原文中定位关于 Michael Alderman 的信息:“Both Doctor McCarron and Doctor Alderman have connections to the Salt Institute, a trade group for the salt industry. Doctor Alderman is a member of an advisory committee (咨询委员会). But he says he receives no money from the group.”,这表明 Alderman 博士是咨询委员会成员且声称未从该组织获得金钱。
- 接着,分析题目陈述 “Michael Alderman is serving on an advisory committee for free.”,其意思是 Michael Alderman 正在无偿担任咨询委员会成员。
- 最后,将题目陈述与原文信息进行对比,原文中 “he says he receives no money from the group” 与题目中 “for free” 意思相符,虽然原文用了 “he says”,但在阅读理解中,若无其他反驳信息,可接受该说法,所以题目陈述与原文信息一致。
