寫作方法與文章大意
這是一篇以過去和現(xiàn)在對比的手法,論述了希臘經(jīng)濟,主要是旅游業(yè)的進展。過去,希臘以無形資產(chǎn)贏得之利潤,來消退赤字,還可稍有節(jié)余。但貧困、事業(yè)狀況嚴峻,政府辦事拖拉、繁瑣也影響國外的投資,雖然早在1956年就預(yù)備擴展旅游業(yè),但意見分歧。現(xiàn)在,狀況大變,就旅游一項年收入由3100萬增至9000萬美元。
答案詳解
1.
B希臘經(jīng)濟形式的改善。文章圍繞這一中心而寫。文章一開頭就提出希臘出口除了農(nóng)產(chǎn)品之外,沒有什么東西,而無形資產(chǎn)如旅游、運輸和國外的匯款等可掙得37500萬美元。兩項加在一起來抵消入超赤字近4億美元,稍有結(jié)余。第三段指出,希臘是自由歐洲最窮的國家,很多農(nóng)夫年收入為60-70美元。失業(yè)現(xiàn)象席卷城市鄉(xiāng)鎮(zhèn),建立工業(yè)基地的自然資源極少。政府的繁瑣事務(wù)程序,關(guān)注瑣事等狀況使美國和其他國家試圖開放工作陷于停滯狀態(tài)。第四段開頭指出1956年起開拓旅游業(yè),不過意見還是分歧。第五斷提出今日驚人的變化,秀麗的歷史古城呈現(xiàn)新貌,就旅游一項收入由3100萬增至9000萬美元。旅館面貌大變。
A.希臘的收支。C.旅游的價值。D.軍事費用。
2.
B少于2美元一星期。文章第三段第三句:最佳狀況,年收入為60-70美元使大多數(shù)農(nóng)夫的份額。所以B項最接近年收入。
A.60美元一星期。C.一天一美元。D.一個月10美元。
3.
A百分之25以上用于軍事。其次段:雖然四個德拉克馬中有一個用于國防,政府最終還稍有結(jié)余――6600萬美元。
B.比收入的還多。C.十億金子中的三分之一。D.少于百分之25。
4.
C單一大黨。其次段:希臘的政府不依靠水火不相容的政黨之間的合作來取得一會的多數(shù)席位,這說明是單一大黨。
A.獨裁、專政。B.君主政體。D.太多的繁瑣程序。
5.
A總計幾乎在7億美元左右。第一段中提到希臘出口商品價值28500萬美元,而進口超出出口4億美元。兩者相加為6億2千5百萬美元,相當于幾乎在7億美元左右。
B.和出口平衡。C.由旅游者支付。D.花費6600萬美元?!?021界上海市寶山區(qū)質(zhì)量監(jiān)測】閱讀理解WeAreNowOpenDailythruColumbusDayThemuseumandstoreareopenfrom10a.m.to5p.m.throughouttheseason.Trolleyridesstartwiththefirstdepartureat10:05a.m.andcontinueuntiltheendofthedaywiththelastridebeingat4:15p.m..WeareopenRainorShine!April30toMay21May28toOctober10October15toOctober30OpenSaturdaysandSundaysOnlyOpenEveryDayOpenSaturdaysandSundaysOnlyIceCream&SunsetTrolleyRideSpecial($3.50perperson)At7:30p.m.,everyWednesdayandThursdayeveninginJulyandAugust,joinusforaspecialsunsettrolleyridewithice-creamincluded.Bringthewholefamily!RegularFaresSeniorCitizens:$5.50Adults:$7.50Children(Ages6—16):$5.00Children5andunder:FreeDiscountsareavailablefortourgroups.Admissionincludesunlimitedtrolleyrides,accesstotheMuseumGroundsandExhibits,anduseofourpicnicareastoenjoyyourownpicniclunch.69.FromnowontoColumbusDay,themuseumisopen_____.A.onlyonSundaysandSaturdaysB.onsunnydaysC.everydayD.alloftheabove70.Ifafamilyof4persons—onesenior,acoupleanda12-year-oldboy—aretakingasunsettrolleyride,howmuchisthetotaladmissionfee?A.$18.
