里[C]如何，多么[D]當(dāng)…時(shí)候。根據(jù)語義分析，C選項(xiàng)填入原文，譯為“快樂也許會(huì)影

響工作是有多么穩(wěn)定”，C為對的選項(xiàng)。

2.[原則答案][B]Inparticular

[考點(diǎn)分析]上下文語義以及短語辨析

[選項(xiàng)分析][A]反過來[B]特別是[C]相反[D]總的來說根據(jù)前文語境，第二段第一句譯為

“根據(jù)近期的研究，擁有更多快樂的人的公司會(huì)投資更多”。而第二句“那些在快

樂氛圍中的公司會(huì)做更多的研發(fā)以及發(fā)展?！暗诙涫窃诘谝痪涞幕旧线M(jìn)一步強(qiáng)調(diào)闡

[選項(xiàng)分析][A]充足曰勺[B]出名的[C]完美的[D]必要時(shí)一方面，根據(jù)本句題干“That's

要考慮其搭配與其修飾成分?？崭裉幋钆浣樵~for,并且修飾“長遠(yuǎn)考慮”。因此D選項(xiàng)最

符合語境規(guī)定。

[選項(xiàng)分析][A]個(gè)人主義[B]現(xiàn)代主義[C]樂觀主義[D]現(xiàn)實(shí)主義本題考察同后綴的名詞辨

析。根據(jù)原文主旨，探討“happypeople”與公司的關(guān)系。那么，衡量四個(gè)選項(xiàng)，只有C選

項(xiàng)符合主旨規(guī)定。

5.[原則答案HD]change

[選項(xiàng)分析][A]發(fā)出回聲[B]想念，錯(cuò)過[C]破壞[D]變化根據(jù)原文語境，"would5the

waycompaniesinvested.n本題考察動(dòng)賓搭配，賓語為“公司投資的方式”只有D選項(xiàng)搭配

最為合理。

6.[原則答案][B]measured

[考點(diǎn)分析]上下文語義及動(dòng)詞詞義辨析

[選項(xiàng)分析]聞想象[B]衡量，測量[C]發(fā)明[D]假定，設(shè)想“SotheycomparedU.S.

firmsinthoseareas,"譯為“她們把蓋洛普征詢公司所的美國都市平均幸福指數(shù)與該

地區(qū)的上市公司投資活躍度進(jìn)行對比?！备鶕?jù)原文語境，蓋洛普征詢公司所做的應(yīng)當(dāng)是一

種“既定事實(shí)”因此排除ACD。因此，B選項(xiàng)為最佳選項(xiàng)。

7.［原則答案］［A］Sure

［考點(diǎn)分析］上下文語義及固定搭配

［選項(xiàng)分析］［A］確信的［B］奇怪的［C］不幸運(yùn)的［D］常常的本題為固定搭配“sureenough"

譯為“足以肯定的是，”

8.［原則答案］［D］headquartered

［考點(diǎn)分析］上下文語義及形容詞詞義辨析

［選項(xiàng)分析］［A］廣告的［B］劃分的［C］課稅過重的［D］位于總部的根據(jù)原文“firms'

which引導(dǎo)表達(dá)地點(diǎn)的定語從句，先行詞為area.對比四個(gè)選項(xiàng)，ABC局限性以闡明此地點(diǎn)

的真實(shí)含義。因此，D選項(xiàng)，搭配前文area,構(gòu)成“總部所在地”最為合理。

9.［原則答案］［A］explain

［考點(diǎn)分析］上下文語義及動(dòng)詞詞義辨析

［選項(xiàng)分析］［A］解釋［B］夸張［C］概述D］重點(diǎn)強(qiáng)調(diào)根據(jù)原文"…orouldsomethingelseabout

搭配使用。

10.［原則答案］［B］factors

［考點(diǎn)分析］上下文語義及名詞詞義辨析

［選項(xiàng)分析］聞階段［B］因素［C］級(jí)別D］措施根據(jù)原文語境"Tofindout,theresearchers

controlledforvarious10thatmightmakefirmsmorelikelytoinvest-likesize,industry,and

sales…”本題中，破折號(hào)背面“大小，產(chǎn)業(yè)，銷售”這些都是“讓公司有更多投資的”因

素。因此，B選項(xiàng)最符合原文語境。

11.［原則答案］［A］desirable

［考點(diǎn)分析］上下文語義和形容詞

［選項(xiàng)分析］該空填的是形容詞，用來修飾前面的名詞place,并且在乎義上也是對背面like

growthinwagesorpopulation的解釋，可以看出來應(yīng)當(dāng)是填褒義詞，并且能修飾place.因此

只有網(wǎng)desirable合適時(shí)符合文章。［B］social社交0tl［C］reputable受尊敬的I［D］reliable可依

托肛

12.［原則答案HB］held

［考點(diǎn)分析］上下文語義及動(dòng)詞詞義辨析

［選項(xiàng)分析］該句算是這一段的總結(jié)句，該段整體在描述幸福與投資之間的關(guān)系，而這一

link就只能得出了,只有［B］held”得出"符合語境。Aresumed”重新開始"，Cemerge

“浮現(xiàn)”,Dbroke“破壞”。

13.［原則答案］［A］attribute

［考點(diǎn)分析］上下文邏輯關(guān)系以及動(dòng)詞詞組辨析

［選項(xiàng)分析］該空是一種which引導(dǎo)的定語從句的謂語動(dòng)詞所在地，動(dòng)詞的賓語就是前面的

主句，強(qiáng)調(diào)“幸福與投資之間的關(guān)系特別合用于新公司”這一結(jié)論與背面“所做決定會(huì)偏

草率”之間日勺關(guān)系，能看出是一種因果關(guān)系，因此答案選擇［A］attribute與to搭配表達(dá)“歸

因于...",而［B］assignto表達(dá)"指派"［?transferto"轉(zhuǎn)移到"［D］compareto"與....比

較”均不符合題意。

14.［原則答案］［D］experienced

［考點(diǎn)分析］上下文語義及形容詞詞義辨析

［選項(xiàng)分析］此處很簡樸，前面有一種并列連詞and,與前面日勺young一致修飾managers,強(qiáng)調(diào)

新公司的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)年輕并缺少經(jīng)驗(yàn)，只有［D］experienced最合適。

15」原則答案HC］also

［考點(diǎn)分析］上下文邏輯關(guān)系以及副詞詞義辨析

［選項(xiàng)分析］前面說到了“年輕的新經(jīng)理決策時(shí)更容易受情緒影響?！迸c背面的“這種關(guān)系

在員工幸福指數(shù)的公司尤為明顯。公司似乎樂于投資那些相對快樂的員工所在的部

門，而不是那些不快樂的部門?！敝g很明顯是一種遞進(jìn)關(guān)系，因此只有［C］also合適?！?/p>

16.［原則答案］［D］equally

［考點(diǎn)分析］上下文語義及副詞詞義辨析

［選項(xiàng)分析］這題是考察副詞修飾spread,但是更要注意的是該句“這種關(guān)系在員工幸福指數(shù)

的公司尤為明顯。公司似乎樂于投資那些相對快樂的員工所在的部門，而不是那些不

快樂的部門。”中該空與背面的inequality形成復(fù)現(xiàn)關(guān)系，因此很容易判斷出答案選擇

［D］equallyo

17.［原則答案HC］while

［考點(diǎn)分析］上下文邏輯關(guān)系

［選項(xiàng)分析］該題是典型的考察上下文邏輯關(guān)系的題目，因此著力點(diǎn)應(yīng)當(dāng)放在上一段和這一

段之間的關(guān)系。這一段第一句明確說出“這并不證明是幸福導(dǎo)致公司大量投資……”，因

此兩句話之間是一種轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，選擇while.

18.［原則答案］?hints

［考點(diǎn)分析］上下文語義及動(dòng)詞詞義辨析

［選項(xiàng)分析］該題可以看出是考察動(dòng)詞與at的固定搭配，arriveat是“達(dá)到，達(dá)到“，jump

at是“撲向;欣然接受"hintat是“暗示"strikeat是“襲擊，襲擊”，文章中的atleast和

thatpossibility論證了這是一種也許，只有hintat有這層含義。

19.［原則答案］［A］shape

［考點(diǎn)分析］上下文語義及動(dòng)詞詞義辨析

［選項(xiàng)分析］根據(jù)上下文應(yīng)當(dāng)選一種“影響”將來見解含義的動(dòng)詞，［B］是“再發(fā)現(xiàn)”［C］是

“使簡化，使單純”［D］是“分享”因此可以均可以排除，A是“塑造，形成，影響”，因

此A項(xiàng)是最佳答案。

20」原則答案］［B］leantowards

［選項(xiàng)分析］上下文語義及動(dòng)詞詞組詞義辨析

［考點(diǎn)分析］本空考察動(dòng)詞詞組，且該詞組詞義應(yīng)與and前面意思保持一致，且作用對象為

研發(fā)。［A］prayfor祈禱［B］leantowards傾向［C］giveaway放棄,泄露［D］sendout放出，予

以。只有［B］選項(xiàng)能體現(xiàn)一種遞進(jìn)含義。

【全文翻譯】

快樂的人工作起來會(huì)有不同。她們更多產(chǎn)，更有發(fā)明力，也更樂意去冒險(xiǎn)。近期的一項(xiàng)研

究表白快樂也也許會(huì)影響公司的工作。

根據(jù)近期的研究報(bào)告，在各地的公司里，擁有更多快樂的員工會(huì)投入的更多。特別是那些

在快樂氛圍中的公司會(huì)做更多的研發(fā)以及發(fā)展。由于快樂與對將來投資有必要的長遠(yuǎn)考慮

相聯(lián)系。這是由于對將來進(jìn)行投資需要作出長遠(yuǎn)決策，而這種決策與快樂有關(guān)。

研究者但愿理解樂觀精神和隨快樂而來的冒險(xiǎn)精神與否會(huì)變化公司投資的方式。因此，她

們把蓋洛普征詢公司所評(píng)估出的美國都市平均幸福指數(shù)與該地區(qū)的上市公司投資活躍度進(jìn)

行對比。

足以肯定的是，公司投資和研發(fā)力度與公司總部所在地的幸福指數(shù)有關(guān)。但是幸福真的與

投資有關(guān)嗎?或者說幸福指數(shù)更高日勺都市的其她方面可以闡明公司為什么加大研發(fā)投入。為

了弄清這一點(diǎn)，研究者掌握了多種也許促使公司投資的因素，例如規(guī)模，產(chǎn)業(yè)，銷售，也

掌握了多種指標(biāo)，如合適居住地，工資漲幅及人口變化。理解這些問題后，幸福與投資的

關(guān)系就可以輕松得出了。

幸福與投資之間的關(guān)系特別合用于新公司，這是由于新公司所做決定會(huì)偏草率，并且年輕

的新經(jīng)理決策時(shí)更容易受情緒影響。同樣，這種關(guān)系在員工幸福指數(shù)相似的公司尤為明

顯。公司似乎樂于投資那些相對快樂的員工所在的部門，而不是那些不快樂的部門。

然而這并不證明是幸福導(dǎo)致公司大量投資，或者從長遠(yuǎn)的角度來講，研究人員覺得至少它

預(yù)示著這種也許性。不難想象，本地文化以及情感有助于影響高管對于將來時(shí)見解?！翱?/p>

樂的人比一般人有預(yù)見性、發(fā)明力、更善于研發(fā)這種說法似乎更可信?！币晃谎芯空哒f。

答案：

Text1

21答案Bremodelthewayofthinking.

解析：此題是文中人物觀點(diǎn)題。根據(jù)Cortina定位到第二段前三句。Cortina覺得盡早接觸

計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)是有益的。第三句It'snotashardforthemtotransformtheirthoughtprocessesas

itisforolderstudents.譯為在轉(zhuǎn)變思維程序方面小孩不像年齡較大的學(xué)生同樣困難，即B

remodelthewayofthinking轉(zhuǎn)變思維方式即為同義替代。

22答案Dinterest

解析：此題是細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)核心詞Friedman定位到第四段第二句but之后引號(hào)里面內(nèi)容

“我們試圖讓課程符合學(xué)生愛好”，故而Dinterest為對的答案。

23答案Ahelpstudentslearnothercomputerlanguages

解析：文中人物觀點(diǎn)題。題干問的I是DeborahSeehorn覺得在Flatiron這里所學(xué)到歐I技能將

能怎么樣，據(jù)此定位到第五段But處，和題干基本一致，該句指出“Buttheskillsthey

learn---appltoanycodinglanguage,,,意思是她們學(xué)到aJ技能可以應(yīng)用于任何編碼語言。對

比答案選項(xiàng)，A選項(xiàng)的I意思是“協(xié)助學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)其她的計(jì)算機(jī)語言”屬于原文定位處的同義

替代。

24答案Cbecomebetterpreparedforthedigitalizedworld

解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。題干指出：根據(jù)最后一段，F(xiàn)latiron的學(xué)生被盼望去干什么。據(jù)此定位到最

后一段的IThesekidsaregoingtobe處，是題干的J同義復(fù)現(xiàn)。定位句"Thesekidsare,--be

surroundedbycomputersfortherestoftheirlives.Theyoungertheylearnhowcomputers

think........thebetter.”，意思是學(xué)生們越早學(xué)越好。C選項(xiàng)”為數(shù)字化的I將來做更好的I準(zhǔn)

備”是同義概述。

25答案Bpersuade

解析：詞義句意題，結(jié)合上下文來解題。根據(jù)coax此單詞，定位到最后一段最后一句

“howtocoaxthemachineintoproducingwhattheywant”，考察固定搭酉己“persuade…

into-"oA選項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)，B選項(xiàng)勸服，C選項(xiàng)使恐慌，D選項(xiàng)誤導(dǎo)?？忌鲱}時(shí)一定要注意

結(jié)合上下文來推測生詞的I詞義，這是命題人的出題規(guī)律。

26答案Aitsdrasticallydecreasedpopulation

解析：此題是因素細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)核心詞定位到第一段But前后有關(guān)lesserprairiechickens數(shù)

量2million和22,000歐I強(qiáng)烈對比。此外第二段第二句"thelesserprairiechickenisina

desperatesituation”都可以得知Aitsdrasticallydecreasedpopulation數(shù)量的J急劇下降為對歐J

答案。

27答案Cgrantedlessfederalregulatorypowers

解析：此題是因素細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)核心詞定位到第二段第四句，Theyhad???,astatethatgives

federalofficialsgreaterregulatorypower.而But之后是截然相反的I事實(shí)，即政府授予了更少

aJ管理權(quán)。故而Cgrantedlessfederalregulatorypowers為對區(qū)J答案。

28答案Aagreetopayasumforcompensation

解析：推斷題。題干問的是從第三段推出來：無意傷害的那些人是不會(huì)被檢舉的如果怎么

樣。根據(jù)題干定位到第三段首句“itwouldnotprosecute,-,.aslongas…，題干中問政Jif

即原文的Iaslongas的批準(zhǔn)替代，原文aslongasaI意思是：只要她們簽訂了籌劃。下一句

說道，該籌劃規(guī)定個(gè)體和公司去支付基金。相應(yīng)選項(xiàng)A選項(xiàng)“贊同支付補(bǔ)償”屬于同義替

代。

29答案Dthestates

解析：此題是細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)核心詞定位到第三段最后一句theideaistoletthe“states”

remaininthedriver'sseatformanagingthespecies,Ashesaid.其中inthedriver'sseat相應(yīng)

題干中0tltheleadingrole,故而Dstates為對的答案。

30答案Cenvironmentalgroups

解析：文中人物觀點(diǎn)題。題干問的是JayLininger最也許支持誰，大寫人名定位到末段最后

一句。最后一句提到：生物學(xué)家JayLininger說道聯(lián)邦政府要把責(zé)任推給導(dǎo)致鳥類滅絕的公

司，顯然是對政府和公司的反對。再往前看一句，指出：公司團(tuán)隊(duì)和政府部門觀點(diǎn)一致，

環(huán)境學(xué)家與其觀點(diǎn)碰巧一致。因此，JayLininger最支持環(huán)境團(tuán)隊(duì)的觀點(diǎn)了。

31答案Dwhatdeepreadingrequirescannotbeguaranteed.

解析：因果細(xì)節(jié)題。題干指出：老式歐I時(shí)間管理措施不起作用的I因素是什么。根據(jù)題干定

位至U第二段首句指出theusualtime-managementtechniquesdon'tseemsufficient,是題干時(shí)

同義替代，但要找因素。整段都在分析過程環(huán)節(jié)，最后因素必然在該段末句提到。直接定

位到該段末句，指出進(jìn)一步閱讀不僅需要時(shí)間，并且是一種僅僅通過有效無法獲得的一種

時(shí)間。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)D,進(jìn)一步閱讀所需時(shí)無法得到保證，是原文末句的同義替代。

32答案Bmakepassingtimefulfilling

解析：題干問的是“emptybottles”暗喻證明了人們在做什么方面有壓力，emptybottles直

接可以在文中GaryEberle所說的J話中找到：“Thefuturecomesatuslikeempty

bottles-"o其所說的話證明的I目的必然是為了闡明前一句的觀點(diǎn)。因此，該題定位到三

段“trytoslot…butnotthemostfulfillingkind”,該句就指出：只會(huì)解決目的J集中歐I閱讀，

這是有用時(shí)，但不是最有滿足感的。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)B使流逝的時(shí)間更有滿足感，是原文的同義

替代。

33答案Dachieveimmersivereading

解析：文中人物觀點(diǎn)題，注意辨別文中人物觀點(diǎn)和作者觀點(diǎn)。題干問的是Eberle贊同為閱

讀設(shè)定規(guī)定性時(shí)間協(xié)助什么。根據(jù)題干精擬定位到第四段第二句：“You，dthinkthis

mightfueltheefficiencymind-set,butinfact,E…..intosoultime”,意思是你會(huì)覺得這可以提

高效率性思維設(shè)定，但事實(shí)上這些行為協(xié)助我們跨入到靈魂閱讀時(shí)間。相應(yīng)選項(xiàng)D,獲得

進(jìn)一步閱讀，屬于同義替代。

34答案Areadingbecomesyourprimarybusinessoftheday

解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。題干指出：總是帶一本書會(huì)起作用如果怎么樣。根據(jù)題干定位到末段中間

部分“carryabookwithyouatalltimescanactuallywork,too??,sothatreadingbecomesthe

defaultstatefromwhichyoutemporarilysurfacetotakecareofbusiness.”，意思是這樣的I話閱

讀就成為默認(rèn)狀態(tài)，偶爾會(huì)出來管理工作（注意business并非默認(rèn)狀態(tài)，非重要事情）。相應(yīng)

選項(xiàng)A閱讀成為每天的重要任務(wù)，是該句的同義替代。

35答案BHowtoFindTimetoRead

解析：標(biāo)題題，即全文中心主旨。通過題干，可發(fā)現(xiàn)題干核心詞中time復(fù)現(xiàn)多次，因此可

擬定time為全文的主題詞。整篇文章都環(huán)繞閱讀時(shí)間來展開，因此對的答案為A如何尋找

閱讀時(shí)間。
