Passage Two
Which of the following statements is true according to the passage
A.Many people protested in the past six months.
B.Many people threw tomatoes at the German Chancellor.
C.Many people threw eggs at an important member of the German Chancellor’s Social Democrats.
D.Many people threw eggs at the German Chancellor, but he was not hit.
参考答案:D
解析:
[分析]: 事实细节的找寻和判断。 根据原文Tens of thousands have joined protests in the last six weeks可知,A项与原文不符;根据原文The mushy remains of a tomato thrown at a prominent member of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s Social Democrats可知,人们朝Gerhard Schroeder * * 的社会民主党一位重要人物扔番茄,由此可见,选项B、C的说法是错误的;根据原文,最后 Schroeder himself has been pelted with eggs,none of which hit their mark 可知,人们朝他本人扔过鸡蛋,但未击中目标,由此可见,D项与原文相符,该项为正确答案。[解题关键] 理解比喻性表达是解题的关键。原文中none of which hit their mark“没有击中目标”,即指Schroeder没有被砸着,与选项D中he was not hit心意思相同。
