问题 Kevin Hines choose to commit suicide at such an early age in that ______.
Why does the author mention Niagara Falls and honeymooners?
选项 A、Because Niagara Falls and honeymooners are as well-known as the Golden Gate Bridge.
B、Because Niagara Falls is the resort for couples who spend their holidays.
C、Because Niagara Falls attracts honeymooners the same way the Bridge does to suicides.
D、Because Niagara Falls is a magnificent place for honeymooners to gather around there.
答案C
解析 第二段结尾：People are throwing themselves off the bridge at the rate of two a month, which makes it the most popular place in the world for suicides。One book on the subject says that the Golden Gate is "to suicide what Niagara Falls is to honeymooners".需要注意的是这道题考的是一种类比关系，不要只在题干上抓住不放。题目虽然只问到为什么提到尼亚加拉瀑布和度蜜月的人，但是我们看到作者是将"尼亚加拉瀑布吸引度蜜月者"和"金门大桥吸引自杀者"这两个事物的相似点进行类比的，所以不要简单地从题干上分析。因此，这道题在审题的时候只要知道是类比关系，还有C中句型"the same way..."就可以断定答案是C选项。A不可否认，尼亚加拉瀑布确实很有名气，但文章的目的不是介绍美国的旅游胜地，而是讲自杀问题，与文章的弦外之音不符。B是事实，但是我们需要的不是这个大家都知道的事实。B选项是本题最大的迷惑选项，同学在做题的时候不要用自己以往的背景知识作为答题的凭证，要仔细阅读文章的前言后语。D也不是作者提到这个瀑布和度蜜月的人的真正原因。
