写作方法与文章大意
这是论述军队在美国地位提高的文章,主要采用因果写法,中插对比。
答案祥解1. A.军队又吃香了。
Tobein有“流行,时髦”之义。
全篇文章围绕这一点而写。
文章一开头就点名宗旨“事情真的变了,军队形象不仅高大,招收新兵的质量和数量明显得到恢复。
”第二段开始:
“可以肯定,经济萧条使得军队提供就业,技术训练和对学生慷慨贷款提高了诱惑力……。
”第二段倒数第七句“许多军官感到关键性的变化是这个国家青年中的爱国心增强,当兵是一个荣誉职业的看法又恢复了。
”都表示吃香。
B.tobeup有“完了,完毕,上涨”等义。
C.tobedown有“消沉,落魄,下降”等义。
D.tobeon有“上演,开着”等义。
这里都讲不通。
2. C.厌恶。
答案在第一段第二句“招兵人员曾一度被反战学生谴责为‘杀婴犯’而拒之校园之外,现在甚至名牌大学都
欢迎。
后备军官训练队计划在越战时期曾动摇不定,抗议的人向部队投掷燃烧弹,如今又兴旺起来。
”最后一段第二句“70年代中期,后备军官训练队学生不愿在校内穿制服,因为穿了就遭到各种嘲笑。
”这些都说明70年代,学生对军队的态度是“厌恶”。
所以
A.赞成, B.漠不关心,
D.漫骂,都不对。
3. 获得地位。
Tocomeout有togaincertainposition获得(名次,地位)之义,也有appear,tobeseen(出现,看得见)之义。
这里的上下文,只能是D.第二段第二句“学生们知道,要是参军,当上譬如核武器专家,他们就能扬名并可要求6万美元年薪。
”
A.看得见, B.开始成长, C.公开。
4. B.宽敞的房间。
A.免学费。
C.相当高的津贴。
D.技术培训,都提到过。
第二段开始“可以肯定,经济萧条使得军队提供就业,技术训练以及对学生慷慨贷款等的诱惑力增大。
”第三句“军队薪金尽管比不是私人公司中类似工作的工资,但已经很可观了,尤其考虑到军队里有一系列的福利待遇,如免费医疗,膳宿,军人消费合作社特惠等。
”第三段“军事院校招收的学生数量多了,质量好,年头也就好过。
私立大学里,学费和各类费用一直急剧上升,相比之下,上军事院校确实便宜,不仅学费全面,新生每月还可拿5百美元的补贴。
