第二次世界大戰(zhàn)后,美國在經(jīng)濟(jì)和科技領(lǐng)域取得了巨大進(jìn)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(xiàn)狀已經(jīng)引起了社會大眾的關(guān)注:無家可歸的流浪漢已經(jīng)增長到地方政府無法對付的地步,需要借助聯(lián)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(dǎo)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(hù)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(hù)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(nèi)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.
