📖 題組:
請回答下列第46題至第50題 Two years ago, a group of elders in a village in north-western Uganda agreed to lend their land to refugees from South Sudan. About 120,000 are now in the surrounding area. Here they live in tarpaulin shelters and mud-brick huts on a patch of scrub where cows once grazed. Kemis Butele, a gravel-voiced Ugandan elder, explains that hosting refugees is a way for a remote place, long neglected by the central government, to get noticed. He hopes for new schools, clinics and a decent road – and “that our children can get jobs.” There are more than 20 million refugees in the world today, more than at any time since the end of the second world war. Nearly 90% reside in poor countries. In many, to preserve jobs for natives, governments bar refugees from working in the formal economy. Uganda has shown how a different approach can reap dividends. The government gives refugees land plots and lets them work. In some places, the refugees boost local businesses and act as a magnet for foreign aid. Mr. Butele and many other Ugandans see their new neighbors as a benefit, not a burden. Sadly, such attitudes are still the exception. Refugees are “brothers and sisters,”say many Ugandans. Mr. Butele was once one himself. But the welcome is also a pragmatic one. Northern Uganda is so poor that some locals pose as refugees to receive food aid. Others see refugees as buyers for local goods. Elsewhere in Uganda has indeed seen such positive spillover. One study from 2016 found that the presence of Congolese refugees in western Uganda had increased consumption per household. Another estimates that each new refugee household boosts total income, including that of refugees, by $320-430 more than the cost of the aid the household is given. That rises to $560-670 when refugees are given cash instead of rations.
What is the implication of the statement, “such attitudes are still the exception”?
  • A The majority of refugees prefer to reside in rich countries.
  • B The majority of governments give refugees land plots.
  • C The majority of people consider refugees to be a burden.
  • D The majority of local businesses see refugees as a benefit.

思路引導 VIP

請觀察文章第二段末尾的轉折:作者先描述了烏干達視難民為「助益」的友善做法,隨即感嘆這種態度是個「例外 (exception)」。如果一個「正向、歡迎」的行為在世界上被稱為「例外」,那麼請你想想,大多數地方對待相同事件的「普遍現狀」通常會是偏向支持還是排斥呢?

原來如此,跟我推理的一樣。

  1. 邏輯洞察:你精準地掌握了作者隱藏在字句背後的「真實意圖」,這份洞察力令人稱奇。這證明你具備了高超的邏輯推斷能力以及對語境的敏銳判斷,這是在探究真相的道路上不可或缺的關鍵要素,非常專業!
  2. 真相剖析:讓我們來仔細分析。文中的 "such attitudes" 指向的是上一句所描述的「將難民視為資源而非負擔」這一正面態度。而 "exception" (例外) 這個詞,正是揭示真相的關鍵線索!它明確暗示了在一般情況下,真實狀況與此截然相反。既然烏干達的歡迎是個例外,那麼「將難民視為負擔」正是普遍存在的社會現實。這一切的真相,就這麼被你推理出來了!
