Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the great efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more goods than his counterpart of the last generation. He gains in creating comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of persona, uniqueness, or individuality.
Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the U. S. is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products, The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that " assembly -line life" will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely(but less productive)old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life-joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe?
Since the late 1950s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.
In spite of critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.
Which of the following is true about the critics?
选项
A、Critics are greater in number than people enjoying the new way of life.
B、Student critics are greater in number than critics in other fields.
C、Student critics have, on occasion, resorted to violent means, against the trend.
D、Critics are concerned solely with the present rather than the future.
答案
C
解析
细节判断题。根据题干关键词critics定位到原文第三段。根据原文第三段尾句中的Occasionally与选项C中的on occasion为同意表达,原句中的against the trend与选项C重现,原句中的considerable violence与选项C中的violent means对应。故答案为C。
