D.how;inthechargeof答案：A4.Somefamoussingersliveonthe_________fromtheirrecordsales.A．salaryB．valueC．billD．income答案：D解析：选D。bill(帐单，清单)显然不符合题意；value（价值）是抽象的，不能用来消费；salary（工资，薪水）是按年、月发给相关人的，而本句的recordsales并不是他们的工作；income（收入，收益）,通常指一个人收入所得的钱，不仅只是工资部分。结合上下文，应该选D。5.Ithink________importanttogetonwellwithmyclassmates.

有些学生因家境贫苦而辍学去乞讨；

有些残疾人只能以乞讨为生；

大部分都是假装的，乞讨只是他们赚钱的一条捷径；

这么做会助长懒惰；

结论：应该尽力帮助弱势群体，但给钱时一定要慎重。

havedone表示过去本能做的事情却没有做。句意：我们本能一起面对困难的，你（那时）为什么不告诉我？41.—Whatanamazingmuseum!

B。6.

D。7.

D。8.

A。9.

C。解析：5.考查作者意图。第一段的内容是提到这三个城市，写作目的就是引出第二段的“Theyaresymbolsofthesecitiesthatmakethemdifferentfromanywhereelseintheworld.”，说明这些古式交通工具其实是这些城市的标志。6.考查事实细节。从第三段“thebanhaslargelybeenunsuccessful,asithasnotchangedThaipeople'spreferencefortheinexpensivetuk-tuksovertaxis.”可知答案是人们喜欢tuk-tuks导致禁令失败。7.考查事实细节。伦敦双层巴士的回归，主要原因在于people'swillingnesstofightfortheirsurvival，伦敦人在市长换届选举时，投票使卖掉双层巴士的原市长落选，新市长做出承诺，是伦敦人的抗争才使双层巴士能够回归。8.考查事实细节。Bangkokcity禁止tuk-tuks是因为其噪音大、污染环境，cityleaders不喜欢这种交通工具，所以选A。B项伦敦市长的落选证明的是市民喜爱双层巴士；旧金山的cablecars只剩为数不多的几台供游客使用，原因是“Theyaretooslowtobeusedforanythingotherthanscenictrips.”，并不是cityleaders的好恶决定它们的命运，而是它们太不实用了。9.考查推理判断。从这三种城市标志的交通工具的遭遇，我们可以得出结论它们正面临生存问题，itseemstheyareincreasinglyoutofstepwiththemodernworld，它们还能勉强生存下去靠的是人们对它们的喜爱和保护，但它们的确和现代社会的发展脱节了。作者是在客观地讲述，所以D项与原文的意思不符合；B项也和人们对老式交通工具的喜爱相抵触；A项推论太远，老式交通工具的退出会给游客带来一定得遗憾，但不可能因此城市对游客就失去了吸引力。43.短文改错。

C.havefunattheHappinessInstitute

D.moneydoesn’talwaysmeanhappiness答案：1-4ADDC解析：1.

细节判断题。根据第三小节中的Youcanactuallyincreaseyourhappinesslevels.That’swhatweteach可知A项正确。B项与文章的提供的信息正好相反，C项是形象化的说明，并非真实条件与结果，D项中关于BillGates的说法是文章所没有说明的。2.

词义猜测题。根据句子peoplewhoarelesswelloffthanyou—poorer,smallerhouse,car，以及前文出现的比较级betterofffinancially/materially，可知是指“富有”。3.

主旨归纳题。本文讲述金钱与幸福之间的关系，只有D项最能体现文章的中心。48.Whichoftheelectronicdictionariesdoyoulikemost?
