It is a miracle that New York works at all. The whole thing is unbelievable. Every time the residents brush their teeth, millions of gallons of water must be consumed. When a young man in Manhattan writes a letter to his girl in Brooklyn, the love message gets blown to her through a pneumatic (充气的) tube. The underground system of telephone cables, power lines, steam pipes, gas pipes is reason enough to abandon the island to the gods and the beetles. Every time a cut is made on the street, the noisy surgeons expose ganglia (神经中枢)that are twisted beyond belief.
By rights New York should have destroyed itself long ago, from terror or fire or failure of some vital supply lines in its circulatory system or from some deep complex short circuit. Long ago the city should have experienced an insoluble traffic confusion at some impassable bottle-neck. It should have died of hunger when food lines failed for a few days. It should have been wiped out by widespread diseases starting in its dirty blocks or carried in by ships’ rats. It should have been swallowed by the sea that licks at it on every side. The workers in its innumerable cells should have gone mad, from the fearful darkness of smoke-fog that drifted over every few days from the Jersey, darkening all light at noon and leaving the high offices suspended, men groping (摸索) and depressed, and the sense of world’s end. It should have been touched in the head by the August heat and become crazy.
What does the author imply by saying "the city should have experienced an insoluble traffic confusion… "?
选项
答案
New York has too many cars
解析
imply与state的词义正好相对;前者表示“暗示”,后者意为“明说”。这两个词常用在阅读理解提问中。所谓“暗示”,当然我们就无法直接从原文照抄答案,必须理解所问词或句子的“弦外之音”。而所谓“明说”,我们就可以很有把握地从原文中摘抄答案,不必再去冥思苦想。简答题的题型的设计通常不会采用表示暗示含义的问题。如果有这类问句,那一定是考生能一眼看出的浅显问题。
