题目解答
答案
C
解析
考查要点:本题主要考查学生对作者观点的准确理解能力,需要结合文章中关于美国社会制度的具体描述,判断作者的态度倾向。
解题核心思路:
- 定位关键信息:寻找文章中直接或间接评价美国社会制度的段落,重点关注与社会流动(social climbing)相关的表述。
- 排除干扰选项:对比选项中“富人”“不可能向上流动”“最好制度”等极端表述,判断是否与原文一致。
- 锁定核心逻辑:作者可能通过对比其他社会制度,强调美国社会制度在帮助贫困人口向上流动方面的相对优势。
破题关键点:
- “comparatively easy”(相对容易)是解题核心词,需对应原文中类似表述。
- 注意作者是否将美国与其他社会制度对比,突出其独特性。
选项分析:
- 选项A(不偏袒富人):若文章未提及富人特权或制度偏向性,此选项缺乏依据。
- 选项B(社会流动困难):与正确答案矛盾,需排除。
- 选项C(穷人易向上流动):若原文提到“美国社会为贫困人口提供较多机会”或类似表述,则为正确答案。
- 选项D(最佳制度):若文章未明确肯定美国制度为“最好”,则此选项过于绝对。
逻辑推导:
- 若文章指出“美国社会通过教育、经济政策等手段,使贫困人口有更多机会提升社会地位”,则直接支持选项C。
- 其他选项均偏离文章中“相对优势”这一核心逻辑。
