Over the past fifteen years, the largely urbanized Northeastern United States has shown more and more the influence of the Southwestern portion of the country. Once, very few people in New York City could be found sporting cowboy boots and Stetson hats, and no major radio station boasted twenty-four-hour-a-day programming of country and western music. The latest development is the rapid proliferation of restaurants serving chili, nachos, burritos, and other Tex-Mex dishes. The passage above makes which of the following assumptions?
选项
A、The lifestyle of people in the Northeast has been enriched by the influence of the Southwestern states.
B、Most residents of the Southwestern states regularly eat at Tex-Mex restaurants.
C、Over the last fifteen years, residents of the Southwestern United States have increasingly adopted lifestyles similar to those of the Northeast.
D、Tex-Mex dishes are an element of the regional cuisine of the Southwestern states.
E、People in the Northeastern United States eat out more frequently than they did fifteen years ago.
答案
D
解析
本题的正确答案是(D)。The author claims that the Northeast has absorbed elements of the culture of the Southwest and provides three examples. A tacit assumption(one which is not proved)of the argument is that a certain mode of dress, a kind of music, and a type of cuisine are found in the Southwest.(D)articulates this assumption.Three of the remaining choices are really just "flak. " They lack any real plausibility after a reasonably careful reading. These are(A),(C), and(E).(A)goes beyond the scope of the initial statement. The author simply states that certain cultural elements of the Southwest have been transplanted to the Northeast, but no value judgment is contained in the paragraph about that process(C)reverses the causal linkage described by the initial statement. According to the author, the Southwest hasinfluenced the Northeast—not vice versa(E)goes beyond the scope of the initial statement. Nothing in the argument suggests that people in the Northeast are eating out more frequently than they did fifteen years ago—only that there are more Tex-Mex restaurants in the region than there were fifteen years ago 对大多数人而言,(B)最易误选。It at least has the merit of being fairly closely connected to the argument in the initial statement. It might be true that people in the Southwest regularly patronize the Tex-Mex restaurants. That, however, is not necessarily an assumption of the argument. All that is required for the argument is that there exist in the Southwest such restaurants—not that residents of that area patronize those restaurants with any frequency. 由上例可以看出,五个选项中的(A)、(C)和(E)的编写都非常荒谬,错得较为明显。“五中选二”的两个选项为(B)、(D),也就是说这五个选项中只有(B)、(D)值得考虑。(B)易误选。而正确答案只有一个,即(D)。
