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. (320 words)
选项
1、For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is ____________.
A. friendly
B. impolite
C. brotherly
D. a mixture of love and hate
答案
D
解析
这是一道细节题,本题询问“几个世纪以来,英法两国存在一种怎样的关系?”。一般对于细节题,我们需要查找信息所对应的句子或者句群。本题的关键词是the relationship between Britain and France,我们通过浏览全文,可以将这个信息定位在第二段里,在这一段最后一句话里提到“The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.”(这个条约的签订标志着英国和法国几个世纪以来那种爱恨交织的关系的新开始)。虽然这里没有出现题目中的relationship,但出现了partnership(合作关系),说明了英法两国之间的关系。因此我们确定选择答案D。
