The statement “draws the line at operating on people” (Line 3, Paragragh 2) is closest in meaning to_____.

[A] removing wrinkles from the face

[B] helping people make up

[C] enjoying operating

[D] refusing to operate

参考答案:

D本题考查句意理解。题干部分出现在第二段倒数第二句中,其字面含义是“殷伯医生对于给18岁以下的人做手术划了一条界限”。该句中however一词表明它与上文存在转折关系。上文中,殷伯医生提出三十岁左右的人要开始“保养”,即,做美容手术。此外,下文引用殷伯医生的话解释了题干所在句子的含义:有些我们认为不够喝酒年龄的人不应该考虑做整形。根据上下文的含义可以推知[D]是正确的含义。[A]和[B]都拘泥于字面含义;[C]含义正相反。
