这道题是细节题。题干问库珀和她的同事们认为“文化之城”这一奖项可能会怎样可以定
位在第一段第三句:“Cooperandhercolleaguesarguethatthesuccessofthecrownfor
Hull,……”“赫尔之冠”的成功并不局限于城市,
术作品。英国的城镇,确实没有被阻止申请,但他们通常缺乏资源来凑齐一点来击败他们更
大的竞争对手。有人认为,“文化之城”奖可以成为一项年度活动,吸引资金并创造就业机会。
。
22Baself-deceivingattempt
该题是推断题,题干问:根据第二段,这一提议或许会被一些人认为是…….。可以定位
在第二段第一句“Somemightseetheproposalasaboobyprizeforthefactthat……”“有些人可
能会把这个提议看作是一个嘘声,因为英国已经不能再申请更有声望的欧洲文化之都的称号
了……”能看出来有些人是持反面态度的。很多人不认识boo,但是也能从后面的onthe
vergeofdisappearingintoanendlessfeverofself-celebrationinitsdesperationtoreinventitself
for,在绝望地为英国退欧后的世界重塑形象之际,英国即将消失在一场无休止的自我庆祝热
,能看出来是一种自我欺骗的尝试,所以选择B。
23Dcommitstoitslong-termgrowth
该题也是细节题,题干问:作者认为这个头衔的持有者是成功的只要它……可以定位到
第三段第三句,这些头衔真正成功的持有者,是那些除了为酒店带来收入、带来引人注目的
艺术活动和一年的良好报道之外,还做了很多事情的人。它们转变了当地居民的愿望;他们
将城市的自我形象推向更大胆、更乐观的一面。所以能看出只要他把致力于乡村的长期发展
中,这个头衔就会是成功的。
这题是写作目的题,题干说:第3段提到格拉斯哥是为了展现什么。可以定位到第三
段倒数第一句。可以看到前面有明显的BUT,知道和前面的意思成相反。“这个问题很难
解决,需要高度的远见卓识,也需要城市当局、私营部门、社区团体和文化组织之间的合作。
但这是可以做到的:格拉斯哥作为欧洲文化之都的一年,可以被看作是一系列复杂的因素之
一,这些因素把这座城市变成了艺术、音乐和戏剧的力量,直到今天。”
25Dfavourable
这题是作者态度题,问作者对于这个建议的态度。第一段是提出该建议。第二段是一些
人认为这个建议有点吹嘘。而只有最后一段能看出作者对此建议的态度,“一个“文化之城”
不仅仅是艺术之城,而且要尊重一个城市的特色——帮助维持它的商业街,支持当地的设施,
最重要的是赞美它的人民,并将其转化为行动。”所以能看出是积极赞成的态度。
