(1) Made was a tall, handsome 22-year-old Balinese man who was in love with one girl but expected to marry another. His stepmother had arranged everything — he would wed a distant relation and bring the two families closer together. Made had two choices. He could either marry the girl he did not love, or he could go against the wishes of his parents and be expelled from his village. Actually he had another choice, one which none of his family foresaw. One day his friends found him slumped in a coma on his bed after he had consumed two litres of a powerful insecticide.
(2) For more than 60 years the tropical Indonesian island of Bali has been portrayed to the outside world as a heavenly paradise where a strong culture and sense of community protect its inhabitants from the rigors of the modern world. It is an image supported by many millions of dollars from the international hotel community which provides luxury accommodation and facilities for nearly a million foreign visitors now travelling annually to the holiday island.
(3) Yet behind the marketing hype lies another story— one which exists in stark contrast to the sun, sand and sea "dream". The truth is that the lives of Bali’s 2.7 million local inhabitants are often marked by poverty, suffering and family strife. Ketut is a 22-year-old maid who works part-time for an expatriate resident in Ubud, in the centre of the island. Her husband works as a driver for a white-water rafting company which provides day trips to tourists. "Sometimes I have no money for my baby because my husband gambles all his wages." The husband’s father, unfamiliar with Western support systems, combats his son’s behaviour by calling in the dukun, a spiritual "healer" who makes offerings to the "bad" spirits at play in his mind.
How would you describe the writer’s attitude towards Bali?
选项
A、Admiring.
B、Critical.
C、Subjective.
D、Objective.
答案
D
解析
态度题。与第一题呼应,报纸上的报道一般是以客观的口吻撰写的,所以此处可以很容易地做出判断。另外,文中也未出现明显的表示情感 (如崇拜、批判等)的词语,所以选项A、B、C都可以排除。
