问题     Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (曲解) one.
    Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the second-hand information gathered from other sources 1 How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!
    Differences between peoples do, of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves. [br] "However" (Line 5, Para. 3) most probably means______.
选项 A、Somewhat
B、By whatever means
C、Anyhow
D、No matter what
答案 D
解析 文中第三段第三句说：“随着旅行的舒适度和快捷度的大大提高，这种情况的真实性至少就欧洲而言似乎还存在一些。”由上一句我们可知，这种情况是指各个国家的人的行为完全相似。第四句说：“……至少今天非常舒适的旅行已向更多的人揭示出，英国人或法国人或德国人不是异于他们的另一类动物。”由以上我们可以看出，第四句是对第三句内容的转折承接并含有让步的意味，所以用选项D“不管什么”做含有内容成分的连接词较恰当。选项A“稍微”、选项B“无论用什么办法”、选项C“无论如何”均不恰当。
