Why have the Americans developed space shuttle according to the passage? [br]
Ever since the Apollo moon landings, the idea of human expeditions to the Mars has come up repeatedly as the kind of grand adventures that would give focus, purpose, and inspirational lift to the space program. But confronted with the cost — estimated at $ 150 billion last week — presidents starting with Richard Nixon and others have flinched and resorted to halfway measures like the shuttle.
The new nepotism operates not from the top down but from the bottom up: it is voluntary, not coercive; it springs from the initiative of children, not the interest of the parents; it tends to seem "natural" rather than planned. Although no nepotism in the classic sense, it is rightly nepotism because it involves exploiting the family name, connections, or wealth. The method may be different, but the result is much the same.
选项
A、Parents maximized the family advantages for the benefits of their children.
B、Parents gave full respect to the likes and dislikes of their children.
C、Children had their own choice of career and marriage.
D、Children willingly lived on the expectations of their families.
答案
A
解析
语义的推理判断。原文表面上没有提到old nepotism(旧式裙带关系),但根据文中关于newnepotism的说法可以推断出答案。根据原文第一句“The new nepotism operates not from the top down but from the bottom up”,可推测出旧式的裙带关系强调the top down(自上而下),显然这里的“上”指“父母”,“下”指“子女”;此外从第一句后部的not和rather than结构可推测,其中的内容直指old nepotism的特点,即:coercive(强迫的), the interest of the parents(父母的利益); planned(有计划的);由第二句话可推测两种nepotism都“involve exploiting the family name,connections,or wealth”即“利用家族的声望、关系或财富(使孩子受益)”,从上述推测中可知,选项A的说法“父母最大限度地利用家庭优势,使孩子受益”符合题意,是正确答案。
