答案：D
B
In China, chain restaurants – especially the big multinational ones – are cool. Going to Starbucks, for example, is a status symbol. It not only says, “I’m rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,” but also, “I’m cosmopolitan (见多识广的) enoug h to be part of globalization.”
Where I come from in the UK, however, chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet (美食的). Chains are where you go on New Year’s Day when nowhere else is open, or when you are 5 years old and your parents can’t stand hearing, “I’m hungry!” any longer. In my own case (with regards to McDonald’s), a chain is where you are taken on your first “date”. Even at the age of 13, I knew to give the guy the “let’s just be friends” phone call the next day.
In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene. Nowadays, a Londoner who says “let’s meet for a coffee at Monmouth” (an independent cafe) is much cooler than one who says “let’s go to Starbucks”. Even if Monmouth’s coffee is a little more expensive, there’s a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren’t going st raight to the big corporations.
Of course, there are chain stores all over the UK; you can’t go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee. But numbers do not add up to good taste.
I do, however, have a confession (坦白). After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much. I, too, have retreated to McDonald’s.
24. Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because ______.
A. the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture
B. the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants
C. they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status
D. these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date
解析：推理判断题。

根据第一段最后一句It not only says, “I’m rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,” but also, “I’m co smopolitan (见多识广的) enough to be part of globalization.”可知很多中国人到星巴克喝咖啡是炫耀富、见多识广以及社会层次高。

故C项正确。

答案：C
25. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The author has grown tired of Chinese food.
B. Branches of Monmouth’s caf e can be found all over the UK.
C. Most independent stores are clos ed on New Year’s Day in the UK.
D. It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.
解析：推理判断题。

根据第二段第二句Chains are where you go on New Year’s Day when nowhere else is open, or when you are 5 years old and you r parents can’t stand hearing, “I’m hungry!” any longer.在英国当其他的餐厅
关门的时候，人们才会去连锁餐厅用餐。

也就是说在新年这样的日子里，大部分的independent stores都是不营业的额，所以这时人们才会去星巴克之类的连锁店用餐。

故C正确。

答案：C
26. We can infer from the article that ______.
A. the author d oesn’t like food from Pizza Hut
B. the author doesn’t like to follow fashion trends
C. many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality
D. many Britons don’t like big corporations
解析：推理判断题。

根据第三段最后一句Even if Monmouth’s coffee is a little more expensive, there’s a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren’t going straight to the big corporations.顾客对于自己的钱没有直接进入星巴克这样的大公司非常高兴。

也就是说很多英国人并不喜欢这些大公司。

故D正确。

答案：D
27. What does the underlined word (in the last paragraph) mean?
A. adapted
B. contributed
C. subscribed
D. switched
解析：词义猜测题。

本题较难。

句子的“however”是关键词。

根据文章最后一段I do, however, have a confession (坦白)。

After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much. I, too, have retreated to McDonald:s.作者原来并不喜欢星巴克之类的连锁店，但是他要坦白的是，来到中国以后，吃了太多的宫保鸡丁，他还是转变去吃了麦当劳。

他去吃麦当劳主要因为饮食不习惯的问题。

所以该词“retreated”意为“改变、改变”。

故D项正确。

答案：D
C
It never occurred to anybody, not even the creators that the world would care about the complex lives, loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and witty New Yorkers. But there’s no doubt that Friends(老友记)has become more than just a successful situation comedy—it has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century. Along the way, it has made its half-dozen leading actors famous.
Looking back on the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each other’s apartments and at Greenwich Village’s Central Perk coffee house, Friends was created by television producers, David Crane and Marta Kauffman. In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright. Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers. What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffman’s after-college years, when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in ever y aspect of each other’s lives.
It didn’t take long for viewers to make friends with Friends. The situation comedy quickly became a top ten hit. Critics loved it as well. Entertainment Weekly said the show operated like a Broadway show, with twisty plots a nd unique jokes. The television theme song has also been a success with the public. The song’s success helped save the television theme song. An ABC(美国广播公司)executive was ready to order very short music intros(前奏) on his network’s shows, thinking that viewe rs would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started. But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind-- remote controls or not, the TV theme song would stay.
Years have gone by, but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern US situation comedy that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short of a genuine latter-day social phenomenon.
28. What is stressed in the second paragraph?
A. The origin of Friends.
B. The role models of Friends.
C. The popularity of Friends.
D. The brilliance of Friends.
解析：段落大意题。

根据本段后两句Friends was created by television producers, David Crane and Marta Kauffman. In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright...............when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other’s lives.可知第二段主要讲述的是《老友记》这部情景喜剧是怎么创作出来的，是由David Crane、Marta Kauffman制片人Kevin S. Bright一起创作出来的。

故A项正确。

答案：A
29. Which of the following is TRUE about Friends?
A. It has a simple but entertaining plot.
B. It is about friendship between college students.
C. It was criticized by Entertainment Weekly.
D. It first came into being in the 1990s.
解析：推理判断题。

根据第二段第二句In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright. Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers. 和第三段第一句It didn’t take long for viewers to make friends with Friends.在1993年David Crane、Marta Kauffman遇见了制片人Kevin S. Bright，他们一起创作了《老友记》，不久以后这部影片电视剧就与观众见面了。

说明这部情景喜剧最可能是在90
年代面世。

故D正确。

答案：D
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Producer, Kevin S. Bright, graduated from the same college as David Crane.
B. ABC once replaced the theme song of its TV show with a short music intro.
C. The ABC executive thought highly of the theme song of Friends.
D. Marta Kauffman expected Friends to achieve great success.
解析：推理判断题。

根据第三段最后两句An ABC(美国广播公司)executive was ready to order very short music intros(前奏) on his network’s shows, thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started. But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind-- remote controls or not, the TV theme song would stay.美国广播公司的总经理原以为观众这首主题曲不会受到太多的关注，但是后来它很受欢迎。

总经理对之评价也很高。

故C项正确。

答案：C
31. What might the author think of Friends?
A. Its merits outweigh its shortcomings.
B. Its success lies in the lack of good situation comedies.
C. He/she has a reserved attitude towards its success.
D. He/she shows great affection towards it.
解析：推理判断题。

作者在文意中多处出现了对《老友记》的正面评价，尤其是最后一段Years have gone by5 but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern US situation comedy that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short of a genuine latter-day social phenomenon.认为这部情景喜剧有着巨大的影响。

说明作者非常喜欢这部喜剧。

故D项正确。

答案：D
D
As the labor market becomes more attractive, more companies are sending their employees to school. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is the latest company to use tuition assistance for employees – which for decades has been a part of many business’ benefits packages – as part of a renewed effort to bring in and cultivate talent. And while the impact of such programs has yet to be fully assessed, many see it as a positive – although gradual – movement.
“For workers, it gives them a better opportunity for development,” says Colleen Flaherty Manchester, a professor. “For fi rms, they are able to recruit the type of employees who have value education and are less likely to turn over, and thus have a higher level of retention(保留) .”
In all, 56 percent of US organizations offer undergraduate educational assistance while 52 percent offer graduate assistance.
Largely driving the trend are Millennials, who happen to be the fastest-growing people in the US workforce today and to whom the idea of tuition support from employers is especially appealing. Nearly 60 percent of Millennials surveyed said they would choose a job with strong professional-development potential over one with regular pay raises. Employers are absolutely adapting to Millennials in the workplace. They recognize that they need more experience, more knowledge, more me ntoring to be successful. And they’re asking for it.
Of more than 140,000 Starbucks employees, only about 4,000 have signed up for the company’s College Achievement Plan. What the long-term effects such programs might have for companies’ retention and turn over rates remain unclear. But, the pluses of these programs are more important than the minuses. We’re going to see a lot more of this in the future.
32. Using tuition assistance for employees ________.
A. has attracted a large number of talents
B. is a trend that formed recently
C. has existed for scores of years
D. is well received by employees
解析：推理判断题。

根据文意第一句As the labor market becomes more attractive, more companies are sending their employees to school.可知随着劳动力市场越来越有吸引力，更多的公司派员工进入学校学习。

这说明助学金政策正变得越来越流行，成为了一种新趋势。

故B正确。

答案：B
33. What c an we learn from what Colleen Flaherty said?
A. It is merely beneficial to employees
B. It is a win-win event for employees and employers.
C. Valuing education has become a trend for all companies.
D. It turns out to be tough for firms to find suitable employees.
解析：推理判断题。

根据文章第二段中“For workers, it gives them a better opportunity for development,” 和“For firms, they are able to recruit the type of employees who have value education and are less likely to turn over, and thus have a higher level of retention(保留) .”可知对于工人来说，助学金政策给了他们有一个自我发展的机会，对于公司来说，可以更好地保留人才。

所以对于双方来说这是一个双赢的做法。

故B项正确。

答案：B
34. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Regular pay raises.
B. More chances to be successful.
C. Educational support.
D. Professional–development potential.
解析：词义猜测题。

根据本段第二句Nearly 60 percent of Millennials surveyed said they would choose a job with strong professional-development potential over one with regular pay raises.可知百分之60的千禧一代愿意选择有发展潜力超过了那种经常加薪的工作。

再根据划线前句“The y recognize that they need more experience, more knowledge, more mentoring to be successful.”可知人们意识到要想成功，他们需要更多的建议和知识。

他们现在正在追求这种知识。

故横线词指B项含义。

答案：B
35. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the programs?
A. The programs can guarantee the employees a good job.
B. The impact of the programs remains to be estimated.
C. Employees will benefit more from the programs than companies.
D. It’s less likely that employees will remain in the same company after receiving the programs.
解析：推理判断题。

根据第二段最后一句“For firms, they are able to recruit the type of employees who have value education and are less likely to turn over; and thus have a higher level of retention（保留）.”可知对于公司来说，助学金政策可以更好的保留员工，也就是说在参加这个项目以后，员工更可能会留在原来的公司里。

故D
正确。

答案：D
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

While going through life with the pursuit of money on our mind, we're often told that money can't buy happiness. But what truth is there in the saying? Is there a relation between money and happiness? 36 Humans are very sensitive to change. When we get a rise, we really enjoy it. But some studies have shown that in North America, additional income beyond 75,000 dollars a year stops impacting day-to-day happiness. 37 They often end up spending all the money, going into debt, and experience ruined social relationships.
So surely money can't really buy happiness. Well, recent studies suggest that the problem may actually be in the way that we spend money. 38 Studies show that people who spend their money on others feel happier. As for the people who spend money on themselves, their happiness is unchanged.
39 0ne experiment showed that instead of an organization writing a large check to a charity, dividing the amount up among employees, allowing them to contribute to a charity of their choice, increased their job satisfaction. Similarly, individuals that spend money on each other, as opposed to themselves, not only increase job satisfaction, but improve the team performance.
40 Interestingly, the specific way money is spent on others isn't important. Spending something on others is the important aspect of increasing your happiness.
A. The same principle has been tested on teams and organizations as well.
B. Money has more effect on the vast majority of people in the long run.
C. Instead of buying things for yourself, try giving some of it to other people and see how you feel.
D. And if so, how can we use it to our advantage?
E. Almost everywhere we look in the world, we see that giving money to others is positively related to happiness,
F. And while you're saving up for these greatest experiences, don't forget the daily joys in life.
G. In fact, people who win a lottery often report becoming extremely unhappy.
36.
解析：根据横线前一句Is there a relation between money and happiness?在金钱和幸福之间有联系吗？提出了
一个疑问，首先我们要对这个问题进行回答，然后再进一步提出另外一个问题。

D项“And if so, how can we use it to our advantage?”本句中的so指代“金钱和幸福之间的确有联系”，那么我们又应该如何利用这一点？该项与上文一致。

答案：D
37.
解析：根据横线前一句But some studies have shown that in North America, additional income beyond 75,000 dollars a year stops impacting day-to-day happiness.当额外的收入超过七万五千美元的时候，金钱就不再影响我们日常的幸福了。

过多的金钱往往会让我们不幸福。

横线句应该对这一观点进行说明，所以G项“In fact, people who win a lottery often report becoming extremely unhappy.”实际上，贏得彩票的人最后都过得很不幸福。

该句是对上一句的补充证明。

答案：G
38.
解析：本段阐述幸福与否与我们如何花钱有关。

根据横线后一句Studies show that people who spend their money on others feel happier.研究显示在别人身上花钱会让我们感觉更幸福。

横线句也应该是与这一行为有关的内容，所以C项“Instead of buying things for yourself, try giving some of it to other people and see how you feel.”与之一致。

答案：C
39.
解析：根据本段最后一句Similarly, individuals that spend money on each other, as opposed to themselves, not only increase job satisfaction, but improve the team performance.说明在团队中，对另外的人身上花钱不仅能够提高工作满意度，而且还提高团队的表现。

这与文章第二段的观点是一致的，在团队中这一行为也是有效的。

故A项“The same principle has been tested on teams and organizations as well.”属于这两段的过渡串联句。

答案：A
40.
解析：本段对前面四段内容进行总结，告诉我们奉献比索取更能让我们幸福。

而E项“Almost everywhere we look in the world, we see that giving money to others is positively related to happiness”恰好是对这一主题的再次说明。

故E项正确。

答案：E

Soon, when Connie had fewer 50 moments, I began spending more of my volunteer time with Bill.
One day, I got him on the 51 of women, how we need romance in our lives and how we love to got sentimental cards.
“I don’t have to,” he said. “She knows I do!”
“I’m sure she knows,” I said, “but she needs to hear what she has 52 to you all these years. Please think about it.”
Two days later I walked down the hospice ward at noon. There stood Bill, leaning 53 the wall in the hallway and staring at the floor. I already knew Connie had 54 at 11 a.m.
When I saw Bill. his face was wet with 55 and he was 56 .
He said, “I have to say how good I feel about telling her. He stopped to 57 his nose. “This mornin g I told her how much I loved her…and loved being married to her. You 58 have seen her smile!”
I went into the room to say goodbye to Connie. There, on the bedside table, was a large Valentine 59 from Bill, 60 : “To my wonderful wife…I love you.”
