9、ve some business to attend to,and then walk off without paying your fare.The driver would not show the least signs of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests,but also serve outside diners.Hotel guests have their meals free,so they naturally go to the free dining rooms
10、to have their meals.The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration cards to the waiter.With such a loose check,you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour.They are very much on

17、ve some business to attend to,and then walk off without paying your fare.分析:该句为主从复合句。句中that you have some business to attend to 为that引导的宾语从句,作say的宾语。你可以乘一辆出租车去任何地方,告诉司机让你在任何地方下车,告诉(司机)你有一些事情要处理,然后不付车费就可以离开。4D考查词义猜测。根据第五段第一句“With so many loopholes(漏洞)in everyday life,surely Finland must be a heaven t
18、o those who love to take petty_advantages”可知,在日常生活中芬兰出现了很多的“漏洞”。结合上文内容可知,在芬兰,如果你告诉出租车司机你有一些事要处理,你不付车费就可以离开;在宾馆用旧的登记卡就可以享受免费大餐;工人只要告诉老板自己工作的时长就可以得到相应的工资,这些就是“漏洞”。由此可知,芬兰确实是那些爱贪小便宜的人的天堂,画线词意为“小便宜”,故D项正确。5C考查细节理解。根据第四段的内容,尤其是第三句“From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will b
19、e paid accordingly”可知,老板是根据工人自己所说的工作时长给工人支付工资的,而不是根据登记的时长,所以C项与文意不符,故选C项。根据第五段第二句可知,你可以先下车离开,等处理完事情后再付车费,故A项与文意相符;根据第三段最后两句可知,如果你在芬兰大宾馆入住,你可以凭登记卡享受免费大餐,故B项与文意相符;根据最后一段倒数第二句“And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in”可知,芬兰工人总是诚实地汇报自己实际的工作时长,故D项与文意相符。6A考查推理判断。根据最后一段最后一句,并
20、结合全文内容可知,在芬兰,乘出租车的乘客可以先下车离开,等处理完事情后再付车费;没有在宾馆登记入住的人并不会去宾馆享受免费大餐;工人可以按照自己报的工作时长向老板索要工资。因为芬兰人总是诚实地做每一件事,生活在这样一个社会里,每个人都变成了一个真正的“绅士”。据此可以判断,芬兰社会有着很高的道德水平,故A项正确。根据第五段第一句可知,在日常生活中,芬兰社会有很多可以让贪小便宜的人钻的“漏洞”,这是文章所叙述的事实,而不是推论出来的内容,故B项不符合题意;根据第五段第二句可知,乘客会在办完事后支付车费,故C项错误;根据文章最后一句可知,芬兰人总是诚实地做一切事情,故他们都像绅士,并不是说芬兰人信
21、任自己,故D项错误。7B考查主旨大意。通读全文可知,文章先通过人们认为芬兰人很“愚蠢”引出本文话题,接着举例介绍了芬兰人“愚蠢”的情况,最后点明主旨,即芬兰是一个道德水平很高的国家,人们的诚实让他们都成为绅士。据此可以判断,B项最适合做文章标题。C洛阳市上学期尖子生第一次联考)According to a historian,uniforms were introduced into the United States around 1979 to deal with the problems of violence among students.Statistical reports sta
