pp test 1 第二篇的第13题

不知道为什么选C

13。 What does the author mean by referring to the truly North American city as more a myth than a reality?

A. commonly studied histories of cities in North America distort reality

B.Cities in Canada and the United States exhibit cultural similarities

C. There is no city that can be considered representative of all North American cities

D. Eastern and western cities display greater differences than the diffferences between Canadian and United States cities.

The city is a global phenomenon. It is also a regional and cultural variable. Even within the seemingly homogenous North American cultural realm, the city shows subtle but significant differences--not only between older eastern and newer western United States cities but also between cities of Canada and those of United States. Although the urban expression is similar in the two countries, it is not identical, and truly "North American" city is more a my the than a reality.

这个问题困惑我很久了，就是不知道答案是怎样被推理出来的。真正考试的时候也常常怕被靠到一句很有深度话暗示了什么？有人能告诉我应该怎样做这类题吗？或者有什么好的建议?我觉的这和一般的推理题不一样,大家觉得呢?

这句话的意思是一个真正的北美典型城市是不存在的，因为美国和加拿大的城市其实差别很大，任何一个的城市都不能称之为北美的代表

首先感觉问题的那个结论本身就有否定含义。所以答案中C就符合推论。

再仔细看一下文章以后，整段都在表述城市的差异。。。a global phenomenon. 。。a regional and cultural variable. even。。the seemingly homogenous，。。shows subtle but significant differences。。。 Although 。。。 it is not identical。既然不同，也就是找不出代表。C正是表示这样的意思，所以就正确了。推断的时候，要尽量通过一些连词，否定词去感受句子背后的含义
