答案与解析

【文章大意】　本文主要介绍了世界上最好的六大书店的一些情况。

1.答案　C

解析　细节理解题。

对比这六家书店的创建时间可知，Bart’sBooks创建的最早，是在1964年，所以它的历史最悠久。

2.答案　A

解析　细节理解题。

根据第四段的“Throughouttheyearithashostedliteraryfestivals,filmscreenings,bookreadings,andgoodoldfashioneddanceparties.”可知，AtlantisBooks主办文学节，放映电影，读书以及舞会等各种活动，因此读者可以参加它主办的文学节。

3.答案　D

解析　细节理解题。

根据最后一段的“...nowwithfourdivisionsinthreecities—Beijing,SuzhouandChengdu.”可知，在三个城市具有了四个分店，其他书店都没有提及这一点，因此这是TheBookworm和其他书店不同的地方。

B.TheDevelopmentofaGrouponCompany

C.TheEffectsofGroupononSmallBusinesses

D.AFantasticShoppingExperience—Groupon

答案与解析

【文章大意】　文章分析了Groupon对于小企业的不良影响和原因等情况。

4.答案　A

解析　细节理解题。

根据第一段的“Halfoffusuallyunaffordableproducts?

Only$49.99forthat$100.00dinner?

That’sthemagicofGroupon...”可知，Groupon的商品便宜，顾客只需要支付一半的钱就可以得到很贵的商品或者服务，因此A项“Groupon的商品折扣很大”表述正确。

5.答案　D

解析　推理判断题。

根据第三段中的“However,shewentontosaythatshehadn’treturnedoncetoanyofthebusinessesafterusingherGroupon”可知，Angelita在使用了Groupon之后，再也没有使用过它。

由此可以推出，像AngelitaPope这样的很多客户，在使用了Groupon之后，就不再使用它了，因此D项“Groupon可能不能吸引客户回来”正确。

6.答案　B

解析　代词指代题。

根据倒数第二段的“Forsomesmallbusinesses,thepressurelieswiththeresponsesoftheirloyalcustomers,whowatchasnewfacesgetthesameproductorserviceforhalfthepricethattheyhavebeenpayingforyears”可知，对于小企业来说，它们的压力来自于其忠实的客户的反应。

新客户会得到同样的服务或者商品，但是新客户付的费用只是忠实客户支付费用的一半。

故画线部分应指“那些忠实的客户”。

7.答案　C

解析　主旨大意题。

文章主要讲述Groupon对于小企业的不良影响以及原因，故C项正确。

答案与解析

【文章大意】　文章主要讲述了研究人员发现撰写感谢信可以提升人们的幸福感最多至六个月。

如果你在日记中写下感谢，你自己会更开心。

但如果你把这份感谢与帮助你的人分享，你们俩会更亲近。

1.答案　C

解析　向帮助过你的人表达谢意，它的影响（effects）将持续得比你的预期更长。

结合foruptosixmonths可以推断，这种“影响”甚至可以持续到六个月。

2.答案　B

解析　研究人员发现撰写感谢信可以提升人们的幸福感（happiness）最多至六个月。

education“教育”；income“收入”；health“健康”。

3.答案　A

解析　如果你在日记中写下感谢，你自己会更开心。

但如果你把这份感激与帮助过你的人分享（share），你们俩会更亲近。

4.答案　D

解析　如果你把这份感激与帮助过你的人分享，就有可能（potential）使你们俩关系变得更亲近。

potential“潜能，可能”；method“方法”；desire“渴望”；energy“能量”。

5.答案　A

解析　他对生活感到绝望和沮丧（discouraged）。

由and可知前后应该是同一类形容词，depressed与discouraged都表示消极的意义，符合逻辑。

根据后一句的“他与妻子离婚……”也可推知，他的生活正遭遇不幸。

6.答案　C

解析　他的妻子与他离婚了，孩子跟他也不亲近（close）。

close这里意为“亲近的，亲密的”，符合文意。

bored“感到无聊的”；strict“严格的”；honest“诚实的”。

7.答案　D

解析　结合前半句文意可知，他感到很疲惫。

由此可以推断出是非常长（long）时间的工作使他感到疲惫。

limited“有限的”；valuable“有价值的，宝贵的”；delightful“令人愉快的，令人高兴的”。

8.答案　B

解析　上下文都是说他生活遭遇不幸，处在低谷的事情
