各位大神,求解一道小安阅读题目:Unit2-Passage3-19

原文定位:
In the eighteenth century, Japan’s feudal overlords, from the shogun to the humblest samurai, found themselves under financial stress. In part, this stress can be attributed to the overlords’ failure to adjust to a rapidly expanding economy, but the stress was also due to factors beyond the overlords’ control. Concentration of the samurai in castle-towns had acted as a stimulus to trade. Commercial efficiency, in turn, had put temptations in the way of buyers. Since most samurai had been reduced to idleness by years of peace, encouraged to engage in scholarship and martial exercises or to perform administrative tasks that took little time, it is not surprising that their tastes and habits grew expensive. Overlords’ income, despite the increase in rice production among their tenant farmers, failed to keep pace with their expenses. Although shortfalls in overlords’ income resulted almost as much from laxity among their tax collectors (the nearly inevitable outcome of hereditary office-holding) as from their higher standards of living, a misfortune like a fire or flood, bringing an increase in expenses or a drop in revenue, could put a domain in debt to the city rice-brokers who handled its finances. Once in debt, neither the individual samurai nor the shogun himself found it easy to recover.



题目:
Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author toward the samurai discussed in lines 4 - 6 (标红部分)?
A. Warmly approving
B.Mildly Sympathetic
C. Bitterly Disappointed
D. Harshly Disdainful
E. Profoundly Shocked

正确答案是B。请问这个答案是怎么得到的?哪里体现了作者的态度?

红线之前的半句话,在BUT后面说,压力也是由于超出overlord(包括samurai)所能控制的范围。这个总基调就含了同情。而标红处最后半句话it is not surprising也是同情态度,表明(他们品味和习惯奢华)是可以理解的。综上,正确答案是B。BTW,选项B用词多温和,不走极端,很讨喜呢
