| 2) It is true that city-dwellers and suburbanites can enjoy certain facilities that may be denied to the inhabitants of small towns. What they miss, however, far outweighs such advantages, which, in any case, the vast majority rarely has the time or energy to take advantage of. 在1)文中, 作者在谈到喜欢小城镇生活的人时用了"Possibly there are..."来表示不肯定的语气, 在谈到小城镇生活的长处时用了"...we imagine to have been associated with...(据我们想像与……相连系)"来减弱其客观性, 暗示未必真是如此。可见该作者不赞同小城镇的生活。 在2)文中, 作者在谈到城市生活的方便时用了"certain"一词以表示其有限性, 并用"...may be denied to the inhabitants of small towns(小城镇的居民也许没有)"来表示不肯定。然而在谈到城市生活所失去的东西时用了"far outweighs such advantages"(大大超过了这些好处)来加以强调。可见这篇文章的作者是赞同小城镇生活的。 例3：Directions: Read the following passage and select the best answer to the question. Television is now playing a very important part in our lives. But television, like other things, has both advantages and disadvantages. Do the former outweigh the latter? In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. For a family of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. They do not have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera, only to discover, perhaps, that the show is disappointing. All they have to do is press a button, and they can see plays, films, operas, and shows of every kind, not to mention political discussions and the latest exciting football match. Some people, however, maintain that this is precisely where the danger lies. The television viewer takes no initiative. He makes no choice and exercises no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part. Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics, and offers an endless series of programs, which are both instructive and entertaining. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one's sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service just as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. We get used to looking at it, so dependent on its flickering pictures, that it begins to dominate our lives. <<—— 上一页 ——＞＞ 下一页 |
