Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.
Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary(周年纪念)of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.
But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug(拥抱), Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.
The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys(调查)show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of “doubtful friendship”, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one: What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel.
选项
The war in Iraq does ____________ to the relationship between France and Britain.
A good
B harm
C neither good nor harm
D both good and harm
答案
D
解析
这是一道细节题,本题询问“伊拉克战争究竟对英法两国的关系产生了什么样的影响?”。本题的关键词是the war in Iraq,我们通过浏览全文,可以将这个信息定位在第三段里,这一段先讲到英法两国因对伊拉克战争所持不同的观点,所以两国的关系受到了一些影响,但该段的最后一句话“However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.”(但是很多专家认为伊拉克战争事实上又促进了两国的关系)。转折连词however的出现表示伊拉克战争对两国的关系是有利有弊,因此我们确定选择答案D。这里还需注意文章中用了ties来代替relationship。这也是英语文章的一个特点,用近义词或同义词来代替关键词,以避免重复。
