问题 In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by ______.
The word "chapter" (Line 4, Paragraph 2) denotes ______.
选项 A、event.
B、a local branch of an organization.
C、division of a book.
D、period of time.
答案D
解析 第二段第三句：The city is packed with sites associated with two important chapters in American history，the civil war of the 1860s and the civil-rights movement a century later．本题是一个词汇题，考点为熟词生义，考生可以根据第二段第三句谈到的in American history推知 chapters指美国的两个历史阶段。本题的难点在于不少同学只知chapter有"章节"之意，不知它还有一个引申义，可以指a distinct period or sequence of events，as in history or a person’s life"时期，如历史上或个人生活上的一个重要时期或系列事件"。故D正确。同学会误选选项是因为后文谈到the civil war(美国内战)和the civil rights movement(民权运动)，但它们用"事件"不足以涵盖，因此A不正确。B和C确实是chapter的两个含义，考生尤其对"篇章"一意更为熟悉，而对"一个组织的地方分会"的含义较为生疏，但这两个词意与文章上下文不符。
