【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,介绍了强迫服务员和侍者靠顾客的小费,而不是正常的工资维持生计是一种毫无意义、粗鲁、独特的美国风俗,过去几年,一些进步的餐馆老板试图消除这种风俗。
(1)考查推理判断。
根据第一段中的“DannyMeyer,CEOofUnionSquareHospitalityGroup,isabouttojointheirranksandhasannouncedthatheplanstograduallystoptippingatthecompany's13restaurants.”可知DannyMeyer宣布他计划逐步停止在该公司13家餐厅给小费,这表明他对停止给小费是支持的,故选B。
(2)考查推理判断。
根据第二段中的“leavingawaiter'spayinthehandsofcustomershasafeelingofclassism(阶级歧视).Thisfailsinpracticebecausehumansturnouttobeprettyarbitrary(随意的)abouttheirtippingbehavior.”和“Allofthisdoesn'tencouragewaitersandwaitressestodoanythingbutturnoverasmanytablesaspossible.”可知给服务员小费有一个阶级歧视的感觉,由于人类的随意性并不能达到预期效果,起不到鼓励服务员的作用。
这些都会扰乱饭店的管理,故选A。
(3)考查推理判断。
根据最后一段中的“Rather,UnionSquareHospitalityGroupmeanstoraisemenupricesenoughtofullycoverthecostofameal.”可知UnionSquareHospitalityGroup打算提高菜单价格,这样顾客就会为饭菜多支付钱,故选D。
(4)考查主旨大意。
根据第一段中的“DannyMeyer,……hasannouncedthatheplanstograduallystoptippingatthecompany's13restaurants.”点明了本文主要内容,下文介绍了给小费的不良影响及DannyMeyer这一举动的意义。
本文是围绕禁止给小费这一事件写的,Restaurants'gettingridoftipping适合作为标题,故选A。
【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断和主旨大意两个题型的考查,是一篇文化类阅读,考生需要根据上下文进行逻辑推理,概括归纳,从而选出正确答案。
