3、de diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals.

5、 Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty_advantages”.

7、ell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have 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。译文: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。1The underlined words in Paragraph
8、5 mean “_”Ato be ready to help othersBto make good use of ones friendsCto be a little ahead of othersDto gain something at others expense答案与解析:D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 to those who love to take petty_advantages”可知,在日常生活中芬兰出现了很多的“漏
9、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,芬兰确定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。2Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AWhile taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first paying your fare.BIn a big hotel in
10、Finland, you can enjoy free meals if youre living in the hotel.CThe bosses in Finland pay the employees according to the registration of their working hours.DThe workers are always honest with their working hours.答案与解析:C考查细节理解。根据第四段的内容,尤其是第三句“Then they just say how many hours they have worked and th
11、ey will be 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。3We can infer from the passage that _.Athe Finnish society is of very high moral (道德的) levelBthere are many loopholes in everyday life in FinlandCin Finland, most taxi drivers will not charge you anythingDeveryone in F
12、inland is like a gentleman, for they have faith in themselves答案与解析:A考查理解判断。根据最后一段最后一句,并结合全文内容可知,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,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。4Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
13、ALife in FinlandBA Society with “Foolish” PeopleCWhat a LifeDHonest accounts of the Finns答案与解析:B考查主旨大意。通读全文可知,文章由人们认为芬兰人很“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项最适合作文章标题。B2019郑州质量预测Many years ago, people relied on the sun, the moon and stars to find their way aroun
