Key:
Defining happiness (P1)
1. 文章从开头说明了人们关心幸福度,而国家决策者也很关心这个问题。之后谈到如何评估幸福度—经济因素放在首位是不对的,通过某教授的引语和某新书的关于世界上最幸福的四个城市来说明这点。最后两段也都说明国家应该以生活的质量而不是经济发展作为国家增长的测评标准。所以B正确。
2. 某新书的关于世界上最幸福的四个城市的内容说明了应该是社会的网络、健康和福利让人们觉得幸福。这些其实都是生活质量。所以D正确。
3. 从第三段可以判断A正确。
 
Why OK is OK everywhere (P4)
1. D。本文主要讲述了OK这一词汇流行的现象并分析了它的起源以及世界各地人们喜欢使用它的原因,所以D项为最佳选项。
2. B。由第五段最后一句话“What OK provided that the others did not was neutrality, a way to affirm or to express agreement without having to offer an opinion.” 可知B正确。
3. A。下文提到了有人认为OK起源于某个人名或产品名字,其他国家的人们发表了不同的看法,所以可知disputed的意思应该是“争论,争辩”。
4. C。作者以奥巴马为例,主要是为了说明倒数第三、四段提到的问题:美国总统在演讲的时候都会用OK,所以OK不会听起来不正式,故选C。D项不对,引用的作用不是为了鼓励在正式场合使用OK。
 
Debating body weight (P5)
1. 文章主要讲述了两种体重指数的优缺点。所以A正确。
2. 根据两个公式计算即可知A正确。平方根计算可能需要计算器。
3. 根据文章倒数第二段最后两句可判断B正确。
4. 根据文章第四段可知C正确。
 
My car won’t eat vanilla ice cream (P6)
1. D。由第二段的第一句和最后一句可知D正确。
2. B。由第三、四段可知,工程师前面四个晚上的调查未果,所以他决定详细记录每次买不同冰淇淋的各种数据资料,通过数据对比,他很快找到了问题所在,所以B项正确。从一开始工程师就认真对待这一问题,所以A不对;由第四段“The engineer refused to believe that this man's car was allergic (过敏的) to vanilla ice cream.”可知C不对;D项的four nights不对。
3. C。由倒数第二段“… but the extra time taken to get the other flavors allowed the engine to cool down sufficiently (充分地) to start. When the man got vanilla, the engine was still too hot for the vapor lock to dissipate (消散).”可知这位先生如果再去买香草冰淇淋,那么他只要多等一会,直到引擎完全冷却,他的车子启动就不会有问题,故选C。
4. D。由最后一段可知,这个故事告诉我们看起来不可思议的事情如果冷静思考,也许就能找到问题的原因所在,故选D。think outside the box 意思是:to think of new, different, or unusual ways of doing something, especially in business。所以不对。
