各位先进, 大家好,
我日前读了一篇算简单的英文阅读, 但有一题让我有疑问, 想提出来问大家:
Dear Uncle Frank and Aunt Jean,
Merry Christmas and Happy New year!
I can't believe that it's already been a year since we celebrated the
holidays together. The weather here has been freezing and we already have 40
centimeters of snow on the ground. We plan on snowshoeing out to the forest
this afternoon to cut down a tree. Of course the kids can't wait to decorate
it! I've been keeping busy in the kitchen baking traditional Christmas treats
and volunteering at the local food bank. It's a busy time of year as
donations of canned items come pouring in. This time of year always brings
out the generosity in people. We will deliver boxes of food to families with
low incomes around the area a few days before Christmas. We hope you are all
well and that you have a peaceful and pleasant holiday.
1. What does "canned items come pouring in" mean in the reading?
a. Too many people are giving canned items to the food bank.
b. The food bank is receiving a lot of canned items at the moment.
有些人说答案是 A, 也有人说是 B, 我自己觉得好也是两个都可以. 不知道大家怎
么看?
谢谢!

这题很有趣,关键句应该大家都看得懂:“这是一年中最忙的时候,因为罐头食品的捐赠不断涌入。”所以答案 (B) “食物银行目前收到很多罐头食品。”一定会对。至于答案 (A)“许多人把罐头食品捐给食物银行。”则不一定,因为可能只有少数慈善家捐赠了大量的罐头食品。这个情况只要拿新冠疫苗来替换,就会懂。“捐赠的疫苗不断涌入。”但背后是“共有美国、日本、捷克、立陶宛、斯洛伐克、波兰等六个国家与鸿海、永龄、慈济三个民间团体参与”。所以这题与其说考阅读测验,不如说在考逻辑[不能过度]推理

x大, 请问您的意思是指这题不是"too many people", 而是"many groups 或 organization" 吗?

B的话去掉"too"就对了:https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/too-> 1 ...比如太多人(->所捐赠的物品太多)造成他们无法负荷/无法处理/....等等。原文章是这意思的话会另外交待(比如抱怨一下之类的,或是他们得提前关闭等等)后文的"This time of year always brings out the generosity in people"也是一个线索,就是在讲一般人的善举而已,不用想太多一个实例: https://tinyurl.com/239evavj标题: Too Many People Are .....开头的 There can be too much of a good thing.以及接下来不远的 And that's a problem.可以稍微读一下,头五段就够了

文中讲的是均赠很多 不代表很多捐赠的人 A选项即使没有一开头的Too也错 很多捐献变成很多人 这是主观推理
