In pioneer days, being a good neighbor was very important. Neighbors helped one another raise a house, build a barn (谷仓), and clear fields. Families depended on one another for friendship and entertainment. But today in our cities and suburbs, neighboring is not common. A family may not even know the other families that live close by.
We live in an age of machines, and each family may have its own car, TV set, and washing machine. People no longer depend on neighbors as much as they once did.
Machines keep people apart in other ways. In our grandparents’ time, women met while they hung out their washing, and men stopped and talked while they mowed their lawns. Today, women stay in the house with their automatic (自动的) driers. The men can’t hear anything above the roar of their power lawn mowers. And the children are inside watching their favorite TV shows.
Is the idea of being neighborly old-fashioned? In 1985, a power failure hit New York City, and many thousands of people were left stranded (困住,滞留). Suddenly, everyone shared the same problem, and our largest city became a group of eight million neighbors. People with cars offered rides to those walking. Other persons helped direct traffic. Trapped in elevators, people played word games and helped keep each other in good spirit.
In times of trouble, people still depend on one another. As time goes on, people may once again feel that being good neighbors is important.
Which statement do you agree with after your reading?
选项
A、When the power failure hit New York City, people only minded their own business.
B、Nobody needs all the machines we have made till now.
C、People used to pay each other with their building, raising, and so on.
D、People have difficulties in finding a good neighbor today.
答案
D
解析
细节题。[A]与第四段最后几句描述的人们之间互相帮助的事实不符;[B]与第二、三段指出的机器让人们互相远离的情况不符,由常识也可排除;[C]与第一段第二句的意思不符,该句说的是互相帮忙,而没有提到付钱给帮忙的人;[D]与第一段最后两句的意思相符,由全文主旨也可推断出它是正确的。
