问题 What’s the reason that Germany’s chimney sweeps are under attack?
What does "This rule cuts both ways" (Line 7, Paragraph 1) mean?

选项 A、The maintenance and inspection service provided is compulsory.
B、Prices are set by the local authority.
C、Some sweeps can’t stand some customers.
D、Customers and sweeps can not satisfy one another.

答案D

解析 第一段后三句:Although this is a private enterprise...service provided is compulsory and prices are set by the local authority: sweeps cannot stray outside their district, nor can householders change their sweep even if they loathe him. This rule cuts both ways. "There are some customers I can’t stand either", says one Frankfurt sweep.根据这段文字可以推断出垄断使得清洁工和客户两边都各有怨言,D正确,cut both ways意思是"互有利弊,对双方都起作用"。A和B讲的是烟囱清洁工作被政府控制,是造成烟囱清洁工作两边都不讨好的原因,但不是这个句子的意思。C只提到清洁工对客户不满,不符合both的意思。
