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 British are not so friendly to ____________ and the French are not so friendly to____________.
A Germany; America
B America; Germany
C Germany; Germany
D America; America
答案
A
解析
这是一道细节题,本题询问“英国对哪个国家不友好,而法国对哪个国家不友好”。本题需要核实的是国家的名称。国家的名称为专有名词,需要大写,因此在阅读中很容易被我们注意。我们通过浏览全文,可以将这个信息定位在第四段里,这一段的最后一句话“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.(或许这种糟糕的感觉源于英国人不喜欢法国与德国关系亲密,或者因为法国人不喜欢英国与美国关系紧密),因此我们可以推断英国对德国不友好,而法国对美国不友好,因此我们确定选择答案A。
