题目内容
6.Americans think time is money.They say,"You only get so much time in this life; you'd better use it (61)wisely(wise)."Americans (62)are trained(train) to use their time for constructive activities,(63)soAmericans admire a"well-organized"person,(64)whohas a written list of things to do and a schedule for doing them.They do not waste people's time with conversations or other activities that have no visible beneficial result.The American attitude (65)to/toward(s)time is not necessarily shared by others,especially non-Europeans.Non-Europeans are more likely(66)to regard(regard) time as something that is simply there around them,(67)not/rather than/instead ofsomething of great value.In this background,the fast food industry can be seen as a clear example of American cultural product.McDonald's,KFC,and other fast food(68)companies(company) are successful in a country where many people want to spend the(69)least(little) amount of time preparing and eating meals.As McDonald's restaurants spread around the world,they have been viewed as symbols of American society and culture,(70)bringing(bring) not just hamburgers but speed,efficiency(效率),and shiny cleanliness.
分析 美国人认为时间就是金钱,他们说,"你这一生中只有那么些时间;你最好明智地加以运用."由于美国人被训练使用时间来进行建设性的活动.所以美国人欣赏"有条理"的人,这些人有一份要做事情的清单以及来完成这些事情的时间安排表.他们不会在交谈上或是在其他不见效益的活动上浪费大家的时间.
美国人对待时间的态度未必适用于其他人,尤其非欧洲人.非欧洲人很可能认为时间无处不在,没有利用价值.在这种背景下,快餐业可以看作是美国文化产物的一个明显的例子.麦当劳、肯德基以及其他快餐店在一个国家很受欢迎,因为这个国家的人们想把最少量的时间放在做饭和吃饭上.随着麦当劳餐厅传播到世界各地,它们已经被视为美国社会与文化的象征,所带来的不仅仅是汉堡包,而是速度,效率和洁净.
解答 答案:
61.wisely 考查副词 此处用来修饰动词use,意为:明智地运用;故填副词wisely
62.are trained 考查语态及时态 此处在句中作谓语,由于动词train与主语Americans 构成被动关系,故应使用被动语态;根据上文可知,这里讲述的是美国人目前的时间观念以及具体的做法,所以此处应使用一般现在时态;故填are trained
63.so 考查连词 此处的前后两句之间表达的是因果关系;意为:因为美国人被训练来使用时间进行建设性的活动.所以美国人欣赏"有条理"的人;故填so
64.who 考查关系代词 根据句意以及空缺处之前的逗号可知,本句是非限定性的定语从句;由于先行词person(指人)在从句中作主语,故填关系代词who
65.to/toward(s) 考查介词 此处表示指向性,意为:美国人对待时间的态度;故填介词to/toward(s)
66.to regard 考查固定结构"be more likely to do sth"意为:很可能做某事;故填to regard
67.not/rather than/instead of 本句的意思是:非欧洲人很可能认为时间无处不在,没有利用价值;此处表达了否定的含义;故填 not/rather than/instead of
68.companies 考查名词 此处指的是其他的一些快餐公司、企业;故用名词的复数形式 companies
69.least 考查形容词的最高级 此处用在定冠词the之后,修饰名词time;意为:最少量的时间;故填least
70.bringing 考查现在分词 此处在句中作伴随状语,由于动词bring与其逻辑主语McDonald's restaurants 构成主谓关系;指的是:麦当劳餐厅所带来的不仅仅是汉堡包;故填bringing
