It is harmful to mankind to use human-made materials.C. It is unwise to weaken the human connection to nature.

题目解答

答案

### 问题解析 这道题目要求我们理解作者在段落中想要强调的主要观点。我们可以通过分析段落中的关键信息来确定作者的意图。 1. **背景信息**: - 人类与自然的联系减弱可能对经济增长有利,但对人类不利。 - 2020年,人类制造的材料(如钢铁、混凝土和塑料)的总重量超过了地球上所有生命的总重量。 - 继续建造混凝土森林而不是真实的森林是短视的。 2. **关键点**: - 作者提到了两个方面的影响:经济增长和人类福祉。 - 作者认为,虽然人类与自然的联系减弱可能对经济增长有利,但对人类本身是不利的。 - 作者通过具体的例子(2020年的数据)强调了人类活动对自然环境的影响。 - 作者认为继续这种做法是短视的,暗示了长期的负面影响。 3. **选项分析**: - **A. Economic growth benefits people little in the long run.**(长期来看,经济增长对人们的好处不大。) - 这个选项强调了经济增长的长期影响,但没有直接提到人类与自然的联系。 - **B. It is harmful to mankind to use human-made materials.**(使用人造材料对人类有害。) - 这个选项过于具体,只提到了人造材料的使用,而没有全面反映作者的观点。 - **C. It is unwise to weaken the human connection to nature.**(削弱人类与自然的联系是不明智的。) - 这个选项直接反映了作者的主要观点,即削弱人类与自然的联系是短视的,对人类不利。 ### 答案 **C. It is unwise to weaken the human connection to nature.** ### 解析 作者通过描述人类与自然联系的减弱对经济增长的短期好处和对人类福祉的长期负面影响,强调了继续这种做法是短视的。因此,作者想要强调的是,削弱人类与自然的联系是不明智的。

解析

考查要点:本题考查学生对作者观点的把握能力,需要通过段落中的关键信息推断作者的核心意图。

解题思路:

  1. 定位核心论点:段落首句明确指出“人类与自然的联系减弱对经济有利但对人类不利”,这是文章的中心。
  2. 分析支撑细节:2020年的数据(人造材料总重量超过地球生物总量)和“混凝土森林”的比喻,均强调人类行为对自然的负面影响。
  3. 排除干扰选项:需注意选项是否直接回应作者对“人类与自然关系”的整体评价,而非单一因素(如经济增长或人造材料)。

步骤1:提取段落核心信息

  • 人类与自然的联系减弱:对经济有利,但对人类有害。
  • 2020年数据:人造材料总重量超过地球生物总量,标志“临界点”被突破。
  • 批评现状:继续建造“混凝土森林”(城市化过度)是短视行为。

步骤2:对比选项与核心信息

选项A:经济增长长期对人无益

  • 问题:段落仅提到经济增长与人类福祉的权衡,未否定经济增长本身的价值,且未明确“长期无益”。
  • 结论:未直接回应作者对“人类与自然关系”的核心观点。

选项B:使用人造材料有害

  • 问题:段落批评的是“过度依赖人造材料导致自然联系减弱”,而非材料本身有害。
  • 结论:选项过于片面,未涵盖作者对整体关系的评价。

选项C:削弱自然联系不明智

  • 匹配度:
    1. 首句直接点题:人类与自然的联系减弱对人类不利。
    2. 数据与比喻强化:2020年数据和“短视”批评均支持此结论。
  • 结论:最全面反映作者意图。

  • 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 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.

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.
