Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2022年福建四地六校联考)
How Much to Tip
You’re out to dinner.The food is delicious and the service is fine.You decide to leave a big fat tip.Why?The answer may not be as simple as you think.
Tipping,psychologists have found,is not just about service.Instead,studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiter’s choice of words,to how they carry themselves while taking orders,to the bill’s total.Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.
“Studies before have shown that mimicry (仿照) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,〞wrote Rick van Baaren,a social psychology professor.“These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimicks them.〞
So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups.He requested that half serve with a phrase such as,“Coming up!〞Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers.Rick van Baaren then compared their takehome pay.The results were clear—it pays to mimic your customer.The copycat (仿照者) waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.
Leonard Green and Joel Myerson,psychologists at Washington University in St.Louis,found the generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill.After research on the 1,000 tips left for waiters,cabdrivers,hair stylists,they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up.In fact,tip percentages appear to plateau (稳定期) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $100.
“That’s also a point of tipping,〞 Green says.“You have to give a little extra to the cabdriver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you.If they weren’t there,you’d never get any service.So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.〞
1.Apart from service,how many other factors affecting the customers’tipping are mentioned in the passage?
A.1. B.2.
C.3. D.4.
2.These studies show that________.
A.tipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiters
B.people who are being mimicked usually tip less to the person who mimics them
C.the mimic waiters can get almost twice as much money as those who don’t mimick others
D.mimicry makes the mimicker feel bad
3.According to the passage,which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages?
4.We know from the passage that the writer seems to________.
A.object to Mr Green’s idea about tipping
B.think part of Mr Green’s explanation is reasonable
C.give his generous tip to waiters very often
D.support the opinions of Mr Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping
Ⅰ.单项填空
1.A run out为不及物动词短语,run out of为及物动词短语。
2.A 考察冠词的用法。句中的music是不行数名词,表示泛指,其前不用冠词;sports体育运动,其前也不用冠词。
3.B for sure确定地,有把握地。of course和certainly意为“当然〞,不符合句意。
4.A 句意为“在休息期间有那么多的人排队买咖啡,所以我们最终还是放弃了〞。eventually最终;unfortunately不幸运地;generously大方大方地;purposefully有目的地。

8.B ensure 确保;predict 预言,预料;look forward to 期望;understand 理解,弄懂。句意为:很难猜想这次事故会有什么样的深远影响。
9.D 从答语 it is 知道上文助动词为 is,而 belong to 无被动语态。句意为:那所中学附属于北京师范高校吗?据我所知,是的。
10.A 后一句的句意为:这提示我们要关注我们所居住的世界,而且我们应当学会敬重生命和自然。care about 关注。
11.C 由题意看出,所填选项表示缘由,可排解B、D,由于even不能当连词用,however表示让步,意为“无论,不管〞,这样只能在A、C之间选择,A项引起的句子不能位于句首,所以不能选。since表示的缘由。
12.A can 表示理论上的可能性,意思为“可能,有时会〞。
13.B 动词不定式短语作目的状语,表示“为了……〞。we’ll work two more hours a day 说明每天加班两小时的目的是准时完成这个工程。

8.D 依据上下文可知,作者在回忆那些已经失去了的时机。
9.B 依据第一段最终一句可知答案。pass在此处指 (时间)消逝。

11.C expect预料,估量。think后面不能接动词不定式;want和wish表示主观上的意愿或期望。
12.A 上文的言下之意是这件事情不重要,这样本句和上文构成转折关系,所以用But。
13.B 作者对没有听到父亲对他表达爱的话而感到圆满,所以用regret。
14.C 把情感 (feelings)通过语言 (words)的形式表达出来。
15.C 依据上文推断,作者不知道为什么向儿子说一些肺腑之言如此困难。hard困难的,符合语境。essential必不行少的;complex简洁的。

19.A 依据下文It was nothing可知答案。clumsy笨拙的;gentle温存的;absurd荒唐的;moving感动人的。

Ⅲ.阅读理解

1.D 由其次段其次、三句可知,除效劳本身外,侍者的语言选用、举止、账单的数目甚至侍者自己提示消费者应付多少小费,都会影响消费者最终付小费的额度。
2.C 由第四段最终一句可知答案。
3.D 由倒数其次段可知,账单数目越大,小费比例越小,当账单到达$100以上时,小费比例根本稳定。
4.D 本文通过几个争辩的结果来告知我们影响付小费额度的因素,由此可知,作者对两位争辩人员的争辩成果是支持的。
