第二次世界大戰后,美國在經濟和科技領域取得了巨大進步,但形形色色的社會問題也接踵而至。美國社會中的無家可歸者以及他們目前的現狀已經引起了社會大眾的關注:無家可歸的流浪漢已經增長到地方政府無法對付的地步,需要借助聯邦政府采取措施來幫助他們。
Finding ways to assist this growing homeless population has become increasingly difficult. Even when homeless individuals manage to find a that will give them three meals a day and a place to sleep at night, a good number still spend the bulk of each day wandering the street.
[A] lodging [B] shelter [C] dwelling [D] house
首先,該題考察的對詞匯含義的掌握及辨析,同時,考慮該空后面跟著一個that引導的定語從句也可以用來幫助考生解決該題目;該句提到“even when homeless people individuals manage to find a that will give them three meals a day and a place to sleep at night”,漢語意思為“即使無家可歸者最終能夠找到一個 ,可以給他們提供一日三餐和夜里睡覺的地方”;接下來,分析四個選項,不難看出:
A. lodging借宿地,寄宿處;
B. shelter庇護所,避難所(尤指無家可歸者的臨時收容所);
C. dwelling住處;
D. house房屋;
從定語從句"that will give them three meals a day and a place to sleep at night"(能夠提供一日三餐和晚上睡覺的場所)確定選擇"庇護所或避難所"之意。因此,正確答案為B。而其他選項則不符合該題目的上下文內容的要求。
參考譯文:
Finding ways to assist this growing homeless population has become increasingly difficult. Even when homeless individuals manage to find a shelter that will give them three meals a day and a place to sleep at night, a good number still spend the bulk of each day wandering the street.
尋找方法去幫助越來越多的流浪者將變得逐漸困難起來。即使流浪者能夠找到一個給他們提供一日三餐和睡覺的地方,他們仍然會把大部分時間花費在流浪街頭。
