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
4、____________ are more interested in having holidays in ____________.
A. American people…Britain
B. British people … Germany
C. French people … Britain
D. British people … France
答案
D
解析
这是一道细节题,本题询问“哪个国家的居民更喜欢到哪个国家去度假?”。这篇文章的中心就是谈论英法两国的关系,所以我们可以初步推断答案就在C和D之间。本题的关键词是holiday,我们将信息定位在第四段。第四段第二句话提到“But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction.”(尽管两国看待世界的观点不同,但并不影响每年仍会有1200万英国人去法国度假,但是只有300万法国人选择在英国度假。因此我们确定选择答案D。
