　　今天的句子：

　　A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous, and helpful most Americans were to them. To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American. There are, of course, exceptions.

　　题目思路解析：

　　55. In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, ________.

　　其他国家的来访者眼中：

　　一定要尊重题干，题干让你定位来访者的看法，那答案就要到第一句!

　　对于第一句：

　　A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous, and helpful most Americans were to them.

　　去过美国的人回去后经常说，大多数美国人乐于助人，很好客，对他们也很友善。

　　[D] most Americans are ready to offer help

　　大多数的美国人愿意提供帮助

　　所以这个选项就是正确的!直接选择就可以!

　　[A] rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US

　　在美国，粗鲁的出租司机几乎见不到的。

　　这个是强干扰项!

　　大多数的美国人愿意提供帮助很好客，对他们也很友善≠粗鲁的出租司机就见不到。(rarely就是否定副词=not)

　　而且这是第三句，定位也不精确。

　　而且重点就是夸美国人的友善，D是有大局观的选项。

　　A太片面了，直接给一个出租司机的评价真的很难担当正确选项的重任啊!

　　主题为王!

　　[B] small-minded officials deserve a serious comment

　　心胸狭窄的官员值得严肃的评论

　　[C] Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors

　　加拿大人不如他们的邻居友好

　　这两个都是没有依据的，可以直接排除!
