Oakland has long suffered in comparison with its neighbor San Francisco, which lies a few miles across San Francisco Bay. It is true that Oakland is not exactly first on most people’s list of places to visit or live. The economy of the city is quite different from San Francisco’s as Oakland relies on industry and shipping as opposed to the white-collar services and tourism that are the mainstays of the San Francisco economy. As such, the port of Oakland is one of the busiest in the country and is second in cargo traffic on the West Coast to the port of Long Beach in Los Angeles. Oakland and neighboring Berkeley also act as the center of the fast-growing East Bay of the San Francisco Bay area.
Oakland has been plagued by high crime and poverty rates for years. Recently, however, the economy has improved, and Oakland is undergoing something of a rebirth. This has been stimulated by a number of young professionals who are unable to afford the rents in San Francisco and have therefore taken up residence in Oakland. While it may never equal its famous neighbor in prestige, the city of Oakland has a growing economy, a diverse population, and a pleasant climate that make it an agreeable place to live. [br] Which of the following would be a typical Oakland worker?
选项
A、An office worker
B、A shipbuilding engineer
C、A tour guide
D、A dock worker
答案
D
解析
问一般的奥克兰工人的行业种类的题。报道中没有直接说明,找到能推知行业种类的线索的部分是关键。报道第一段末尾说明奥克兰的经济结构,提到,“As such,the port of Oakland is one of the busiest in the country and is second in cargo traffic on the West Coast to the port of Long Beach in Los Angeles.”通过该部分可知奥克兰是港湾和货物运输很活跃的地区,以此为基础可推知奥克兰的工人主要在港湾工作,因此正确答案是(D)。另外需要注意,不要把港湾和货物运输活跃误解为是建造船只的造船业发达的地方。
