Question

【题目】 Japanese fans who watched their national team be defeated by the Ivory Coast on Saturday showed it is possible to lose graciously (优雅地), when they stayed behind after the match to help clean up.

Despite seeing Japan's Blue Samurais lose 2-1 against the Ivory Coast' s national team at the Arena Perambuco in Recife, the Japanese audience armed with plastic bags searched their side of the stadium and gathered up dropped litter. While gathering waste after a sporting event is customary in Japan, the audience' s actions came as a shock to football fans from other countries.

This isn't the first time the Japanese have taken trash outside the stadium. The 1998 FIFA World Cup held in France was the first ever World Cup that Japan had qualified for. After their first group game against Argentina, the Japanese fans gave the world a lesson in politeness and respect by actually cleaning the football stadium seats. They picked up all the trash around them whether it was theirs or not. They then walked out and threw the trash in the garbage cans before leaving.

The all-around cleanliness of Japanese large cities comes as a culture shock to people coming from other big cities in the world. This tidiness is not due to millions of dollars spent on street cleaners and "Let's clean-up our city" campaigns. It's not due to effective public works or community service. It's due to one simple thing: They don't throw their rubbish on the floor. This unique and rare concept allows for both huge cities and the countryside to stay neat and tidy.

To reinforce this behavior, the common signs in Japan ask people to take their litter home with them. Then, to reinforce the sign, hey usually have no garbage cans in the parks. So when faced with the choice of throwing their garbage on the ground or keeping it with them, they keep it. They don’t need a “Don't Litter” or Keep Japan beautiful” sign. They have been doing it their whole lives and are used to taking their garbage with them.

推理判断题。根据第三段This isn't the first time the Japanese have taken trash outside the stadium. The 1998 FIFA World Cup held in France was the first ever World Cup that Japan had qualified for. After their first group game against Argentina, the Japanese fans gave the world a lesson in politeness and respect by actually cleaning the football stadium seats. They picked up all the trash around them whether it was theirs or not. They then walked out and threw the trash in the garbage cans before leaving.可知这已经不是日本人第一次在体育场外捡垃圾了。1998年在法国举行的国际足联世界杯是日本第一次有资格参加世界杯。在与阿根廷的第一场小组赛之后，日本球迷给世界上上了一节礼貌和尊重的课，他们真的清理了足球场的座位。他们把周围不管是不是他们的垃圾都捡了起来。然后他们走出去，在离开之前，把垃圾扔进垃圾桶里。由此可推知，第三段的故事主要是为了说明了日本球迷有打扫体育场的习惯。故选B。

细节理解题。根据第四段中It's not due to effective public works or community service. It's due to one simple thing: They don't throw their rubbish on the floor. This unique and rare concept allows for both huge cities and the countryside to stay neat and tidy.可知这并不是因为有效的公共工程或社区服务。原因很简单：他们不把垃圾扔在地上。这种独特而罕见的理念使得大城市和乡村都能保持整洁。由此可知，日本大城市的清洁已经成为一种惯例。故选A。

细节理解题。根据最后一段To reinforce this behavior, the common signs in Japan ask people to take their litter home with them. Then, to reinforce the sign, hey usually have no garbage cans in the parks. So when faced with the choice of throwing their garbage on the ground or keeping it with them, they keep it. They don’t need a “Don't Litter” or Keep Japan beautiful” sign. They have been doing it their whole lives and are used to taking their garbage with them.可知为了加强这种行为，日本常见的标志是要求人们把垃圾带回家。然后，为了强调这个标志，嘿，公园里通常没有垃圾桶。所以，当他们面临把垃圾扔在地上还是随身携带的选择时，他们会选择带着。他们不需要“不要乱扔垃圾”或“保持日本美丽”的标志。他们一辈子都是这样做的，也习惯了随身携带垃圾。由此可知，日本人认为把垃圾带走是正常的。故选D。

推理判断题。根据第一段Japanese fans who watched their national team be defeated by the Ivory Coast on Saturday showed it is possible to lose graciously (优雅地), when they stayed behind after the match to help clean up.可知上周六，日本球迷观看了本国国家队被科特迪瓦队击败的比赛，赛后他们留下来帮助清理场地，这表明他们也可以优雅地输掉比赛。以及第三段中After their first group game against Argentina, the Japanese fans gave the world a lesson in politeness and respect by actually cleaning the football stadium seats.可知在与阿根廷的第一场小组赛之后，日本球迷给世界上上了一节礼貌和尊重的课，他们真的清理了足球场的座位。由此可推知，作者对日本球迷的态度可能是尊重的。故选C。
