【要点综述】本文论述了现代社会存在的一个普遍现象,人们往往为了自己的一点儿利益去送礼或者说一些阿谀奉承的话,当然有时即使这样做了也未必就能实现自己的愿望。
1.D 推理判断题。根据“An ‘apple polisher’ is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment.”可知,一个老师表扬学生并不是想得到什么好处。故选D项。
2.A 细节理解题。根据“All sorts of people are ‘apple polishers’,including politicians and people in high offices—just about everybody.Oliver Cromwell,the great English leader,offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party,but failed.”可知,高层的领导者也有拍马屁的人,可以想象每个人都可能是这种人。故选A项。
3.D 细节理解题。根据“An ‘apple polisher’ is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment.”和“A gift is just one way to ‘softsoap’ somebody,or to ‘butter him up’.Another that is just as effective is flattery…”可知选D项。
