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.
When talking about the weather, the author suggests that ______.
选项
A、the weather affects people’s outdoor activities
B、the study of weather is a branch of science
C、people more or less know about the weather
D、the weather affects tile clothing people wear
答案
C
解析
文章中作者虽然提到了天气,但“meteorology”并不是本文讨论的重点,只是用它和“economics”作比较,突出“economics”的复杂性。在第二段中有这样一句话“Most people have a basic understanding of the weather...”,再根据它和“economics”的比较可以推断出:人们对于天气还是多少有一定的了解的。由此可见,正确答案是C。
