Question

10．A"silver bullet"（子弹） is a way to make everything better．
The belief that there is magical power in the metal silver goes back to ancient Greece．In the stories of other cultures，a silver bullet is the only way to vanquish monsters like werewolves（狼人）．
Writer Stephen King is a master of scary stories in America．His book"Silver Bullet"is about a man who turns into a werewolf with every full moon and attacks people in a small town．It can only be killed by a silver bullet．As with many of King's books："Silver Bullet"was made into a film in 1985．
Silver bullets also have roots in an early American cultural character．"The Lone Ranger"began as a popular radio show in the 1930s．It turned to be a hugely popular television show in the 1950s and was remade into a movie in 2013．The Lone Ranger was a Texas Ranger，a kind of lawman．When his team members were attacked and killed，he was left alone．When he looked for the bad guys，the thing he left behind to show his identity was a bullet made from the precious metal silver．He used it as a symbol of justice （正义） and law．
There are other words that are close in meaning．The Latin word"panacea"means an herb that would cure all illnesses．The Greek word"panacea"means"cure-all"．
Of course，if something is said to be a panacea or a silver bullet for all your problems，it most likely is not．That's why these terms are often used in the negative form：There is no silver bullet to solve the problem of homelessness in America．There is no panacea to cure all the world's ills．So，if someone wants to sell you a silver bullet to cure all your troubles，don't buy it．

Answer 1

分析 本文介绍了术语"银子弹"及与之相关的故事．

解答 27．B．词义猜测题．根据第三段"His book‘Silver Bullet'is about a man who turns into a werewolf with every full moon and attacks people in a small town．It can only be killed by a silver bullet．"可知，他的《银子弹》一书讲述了一个人，每当月圆之际就会变为狼人去袭击一座小镇的居民．这个狼人只能用银子弹来杀死．由此可知，在其它一些文化的故事中，银子弹是唯一能够彻底击败像狼人这样的怪物的东西，画线词vanquish意为"彻底击败"．
28．D．细节理解题．根据第四段可知，银子弹也来源于早期美国的文化人物．《独行侠》兴起于20世纪30年代的一部流行的广播剧…独行侠是德克萨斯州的一名游侠，执法人员的一种．当他的队伍被袭击、队员被杀时，他独自幸存．在他寻找那些坏蛋时，他会留下一枚由珍贵金属银制成的子弹来表明身份．他用它作为一种正义和法律的象征．由此可知，《独行侠》使得银子弹成为正义和法律的一种象征．
29．C．推理判断题．根据最后一段可知，当然，如果有某种东西被说成是万灵药或是银子弹，可以解决你所有的问题，它很可能不是．那就是为什么这些词语经常被用于否定形式：没有银子弹能够解决美国的流离失所问题．没有一种万灵药能治愈世界上所有的疾病．因此，如果有人想要向你兜售能解决你所有麻烦的银子弹，别上当．由此推知，作者建议我们不要相信有能够解决一切的银子弹．
30．C．主旨大意题．文章第一段给出了"银子弹"这一术语的解释；第二、三、四段讲述了与这一术语来源相关的故事；第五段介绍了有相似含义的词语；最后一段介绍这一术语的现实意义．由此可知，本文主要介绍术语"银子弹"及与之相关的故事．
