12、义分析，C 选项填入原文，译为“快乐可能会影响工作是有多么稳定”，C 为正确选项。2.标准答案 BIn particular考点分析 上下文语义以及短语辨析选项分析 A 反过来 B 尤其是 C 相反 D 总的来说 根据前文语境，第二段第一句译为“根据近期的研究，拥有更多快乐的人的公司会投资更多”。而第二句“_那些在快乐氛围中的公司会做更多的研发以及发展。“第二句是在第一句的基础上进一步强调说明，因此 B 选项更符合语境要求。3.标准答案 Dnecessary考点分析 上下文语义及形容词词义辨析 选项分析 A 充足的 B 著名的 C 完美的 D 必要的 首先，根据本句题干“Thats becau
13、se happiness is linked to the kind of longer-term thinking 3 for makinginvestments for thefuture.”译为“因为快乐与对未来投资有_长远考虑相联系。”要求填写形容词,我们要考虑其搭配与其修饰成分。空格处搭配介词 for,并且修饰“长远考虑”。因此 D 选项最符合语境要求。4.标准答案 Coptimism考点分析 上下文语义及名词词义辨析选项分析 A个人主义 B 现代主义 C 乐观主义 D 现实主义 本题考查同后缀的名词辨析。根据原文主旨，探讨“happy people”与公司的关系。那么，衡量四个选项
14、，只有 C 选项符合主旨要求。5.标准答案 Dchange考点分析 上下文语义及动词词义辨析选项分析 A发出回声 B 想念，错过 C 破坏 D 改变 根据原文语境，“would 5 thewaycompanies invested.”本题考查动宾搭配，宾语为“公司投资的方式”只有 D 选项搭配最为合理。6标准答案 Bmeasured考点分析 上下文语义及动词词义辨析选项分析 A想象 B 衡量，测量 C 发明 D 假定，设想“So they compared U.S.citiesaverage happiness 6 by Gallup polling with the investment a
15、ctivity ofpublicly traded firms in thoseareas.”译为“他们把盖洛普咨询公司所_的美国城市平均幸福指数与该地区的上市公司投资活跃度进行对比。”根据原文语境，盖洛普咨询公司所做的应该是一个“既定事实”所以排除 ACD。因此，B 选项为最佳选项。7.标准答案 ASure考点分析 上下文语义及固定搭配选项分析 A确信的 B 奇怪的 C 不幸运的 D 经常的 本题为固定搭配“sureenough”译为“足以肯定的是，”8标准答案 Dheadquartered考点分析 上下文语义及形容词词义辨析选项分析 A广告的 B 划分的 C 课税过重的 D位于总部的 根据
16、原文“firmsinvestmentand R&D intensity were correlated with the happiness of the area in which they were8.”译为“足以肯定的是，公司投资与研发力度与公司_的幸福指数相关。”in which 引导表示地点的定语从句，先行词为 area.对比四个选项，ABC 不足以说明此地点的真实含义。因此，D 选项，搭配前文area,构成“总部所在地”最为合理。9标准答案 Aexplain考点分析 上下文语义及动词词义辨析选项分析 A解释 B 夸大 C 概述D重点强调 根据原文“or ould something
17、 elseabouthappier cities 9 why firms there spend more on R&D?”A 选项“explain”常和后文“why”搭配使用。10标准答案 Bfactors考点分析 上下文语义及名词词义辨析选项分析 A阶段 B 因素 C 等级D方法 根据原文语境“To find out,theresearcherscontrolled for various 10 that might make firms more likely to invest like size,industry,and sales”本题中，破折号后面“大小，产业，销售”这些都是“让
18、公司有更多投资的”因素。因此，B 选项最符合原文语境。11标准答案 A desirable考点分析 上下文语义和形容词选项分析 该空填的是形容词，用来修饰前面的名词 place,并且在意义上也是对后面like growthin wages or population 的解释，可以看出来应该是填褒义词，并且能修饰 place.所以只有Adesirable合适的 符合文章。Bsocial 社交的 Creputable 受尊敬的 Dreliable 可依靠的。12.标准答案 Bheld考点分析 上下文语义及动词词义辨析选项分析 该句算是这一段的总结句，该段整体在述幸福与投资之间的关系，而这一link
19、 就只能得出了，只有Bheld”得出”符合语境。A resumed“重新开始”，C emerge“浮现”，D broke“破坏”。13标准答案 A attribute考点分析 上下文逻辑关系以及动词词组辨析选项分析该空是一个 which 引导的定语从句的谓语动词所在地，动词的宾语就是前面的主句，强调“幸福与投资之间的关系尤其适用于新公司”这一结论与后面“所做决定会偏草率”之间的关系，能看出是一个因果关系，因此答案选择Aattribute 与 to 搭配表示“归因于”，而Bassign to 表示“指派”Ctransfer to“转移到”Dcompare to“与比较”均不符合题意。14标准答案
20、 D experienced考点分析 上下文语义及形容词词义辨析选项分析 此处很简单，前面有一个并列连词 and,与前面的 young 一致修饰 managers,强调新公司的领导年轻并缺乏经验，只有Dexperienced 最合适。15.标准答案 C also考点分析 上下文逻辑关系以及副词词义辨析选项分析前面说到了“年轻的新经理决策时更容易受情绪影响。”与后面的“这种关系在员工幸福指数_的公司尤为明显。公司似乎乐于投资那些相对快乐的员工所在的部门，而不是那些不快乐的部门。”之间很明显是一种递进关系，所以只有Calso 合适。”16.标准答案 Dequally考点分析 上下文语义及副词词义辨
21、析 选项分析 这题是考察副词修饰 spread,但是更要注意的是该句“这种关系在员工幸福指数_的公司尤为明显。公司似乎乐于投资那些相对快乐的员工所在的部门，而不是那些不快乐的部门。”中该空与后面的 inequality 形成复现关系，所以很容易判断出答案选择Dequally。17.标准答案 C while考点分析 上下文逻辑关系选项分析 该题是典型的考察上下文逻辑关系的题目，因此着力点应该放在上一段和这一段之间的关系。这一段第一句明确说出“这并不证明是幸福导致公司大量投资”，所以两句话之间是一个转折关系，选择 while.18.标准答案 Chints考点分析 上下文语义及动词词义辨析选项分析
22、该题可以看出是考察动词与 at 的固定搭配，arrive at 是“到达，抵达”，jump at 是“扑向；欣然接受”hint at 是“暗示”strike at 是“袭击，攻击”，文章中的 at least 和that possibility 论证了这是一种可能，只有 hint at 有这层含义。19.标准答案 Ashape考点分析 上下文语义及动词词义辨析选项分析 根据上下文应该选一个“影响”未来看法含义的动词，B是“再发现”C是“使简化，使单纯”D是“分享”所以可以均可以排除，A 是“塑造，形成，影响”，所以 A 项是最佳答案。20.标准答案 Blean towards选项分析 上下文语
23、义及动词词组词义辨析考点分析 本空考察动词词组，且该词组词义应与 and 前面意思保持一致，且作用对象为研发。Apray for 祈祷 Blean towards 倾向 Cgive away 放弃，泄露 Dsend out 放出，给予。只有B选项能表达一种递进含义。【全文翻译】快乐的人工作起来会有不同。他们更多产，更有创造力，也更愿意去冒险。近期的一项研究表明快乐也可能会影响公司的工作。根据近期的研究报告，在各地的公司里，拥有更多快乐的员工会投入的更多。尤其是那些在快乐氛围中的公司会做更多的研发以及发展。因为快乐与对未来投资有必要的长远考虑相联系。这是因为对未来进行投资需要作出长远决策，而这种
24、决策与快乐相关。研究者希望了解乐观精神和随快乐而来的冒险精神是否会改变公司投资的方式。因此，他们把盖洛普咨询公司所评估出的美国城市平均幸福指数与该地区的上市公司投资活跃度进行对比。足以肯定的是，公司投资和研发力度与公司总部所在地的幸福指数相关。但是幸福真的与投资相关吗？或者说幸福指数更高的城市的其他方面能够说明公司为何加大研发投入。为了弄清这一点，研究者掌握了多种可能促使公司投资的因素，例如规模，产业，销售，也掌握了各种指标，如适宜居住地，工资涨幅及人口变化。了解这些问题后，幸福与投资的关系就能够轻松得出了。幸福与投资之间的关系尤其适用于新公司，这是因为新公司所做决定会偏草率，而且年轻的新经理
25、决策时更容易受情绪影响。同样，这种关系在员工幸福指数相同的公司尤为明显。公司似乎乐于投资那些相对快乐的员工所在的部门，而不是那些不快乐的部门。然而这并不证明是幸福导致公司大量投资，或者从长远的角度来讲，研究人员认为至少它预示着这种可能性。不难想象，本地文化以及情感有助于影响高管对于未来的看法。“快乐的人比普通人有预见性、创造力、更善于研发这种说法似乎更可信。”一位研究者说。SectionSection ReadingReading ComprehensionComprehensionPartPart A ADirectionsDirections：ReadRead thethe followi
