Of all the sciences, only two are subjects that have a direct (直接的) and noticeable effect on our lives every day. One is meteorology, the study of weather. Heat, cold, sun and rain affect us in many ways—in the kind of clothing we wear, for example, and the types of activities we do outdoors. Economics is the other science that affects the everyday lives of all of us. Each time we spend money, or it is spent on us, we are contributing (贡献) the economic life of our country and, in fact, of the world.
Most people have a basic understanding of the weather, but how many people feel comfortable with the subject of economics? Often, economics seems to be a mysterious (神秘的) subject. Newspapers and television use terminology (术语学) that can resemble (像;类似) a foreign language. They speak of the gross national product, the cost of living, the prime rate, the money supply, productivity, the unemployment rate, the balance of payments, and so forth.
In some ways, economics is like an enormous jigsaw puzzle (拼图游戏). Each piece is basic, but the pieces interconnect, one to another, in a large picture. To look at the whole picture, you must begin piece by piece.
Next the author will most probably talk about ______.
选项
A、the study of economics
B、the study of weather
C、the study of painting
D、Both A and B
答案
A
解析
先来分析一下文章的结构,根据作者叙述的顺序推断出他下一步该讲什么。文章的第一段提出两个概念“meteorology”和“economics”;第二段通过对这两种学科的比较,说明“economics”很复杂,一般人并不熟悉;第三段承接第二段,进一步说明“economic”的复杂性,并以“you must begin piece by piece”作为过渡句。由以上分析可以看出,作者紧接着会谈到如何研究“economics”的问题,这与选项A的内容相符。
