75、了语言学中句子组成和拆分的规律。【40题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第五段第一句Again, pauses help keep the meaning in mind: Put a pause after monkeys and the first buffalo.（再一次，停顿有助于记住意思:在猴子和第一只水牛之后停顿。）和第六段首句Saying the above sentence with pauses after monkeys and intimidate can help. Now we need to replace both of the verbs, intimidate an
76、d bully, with their (admittedly uncommon) synonym, buffalo.（说上面这句话时，加上猴子和恐吓之后的停顿会有所帮助。现在，我们需要把恐吓和恶霸这两个动词都换成它们的同义词水牛(确实不常见)。）可知说明前面第三个词后停顿一下，接着第六个词后需要停顿一下，故答案为C。【41题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句One last thing to note: This exceptional sentence is possible because the plural of the animal buffalo is buffalo, no
77、t buffalos, otherwise all the words wouldnt be identical.（最后要注意的是:这个特殊的句子是可能的，因为单词buffalo的复数是buffalo，而不是buffalos，否则所有的单词就不一样了。）可知使这个句子成为可能的关键因素是名词buffalo的单复数是一致的。故选D。【42题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段Lets break it down, starting with simple phrase.（让我们从简单的短语开始。）以及第四段中In English, we can use place names as adjective,
78、 so lets shorten the sentence a little.（在英语中，我们可以用地名作形容词，所以让我们把句子缩短一点。）等表明主要研究语言学中句子组成和拆分的规律，可知文章最有可能在Linguistics Around Us中找到，故答案为B。【点睛】文章出处类推理判断题。做这类题重要的是要抓住文章的内容或结构特征，这是推理判断的前提和基础。如报纸，前面会出现日期、地点、通讯社名称等；广告，其格式特殊，容易辨认；产品说明、器皿设备的使用说明有产品名称或操作方法，而药品的服用说明会告知服用时间、次数和药量等。如第三小题，根据第三段Lets break it down, st

80、s. However, in 1974, research by economist Richard Easterlin found otherwise, He discovered that while individuals with higher incomes were more likely to be happy, this did not hold at a national level. In the United States, for example, average income per person rose steadily between 1946 and 1970
81、, but reported happiness levels showed no positive long-term trend.; in fact, they declined between 1060 and 1970. These differences between nation-level and individual results gave rise to the term “ Easterlin paradox”: the idea that a higher rate of economic growth does not result in higher long-t
82、erm happiness.Having access to additional income seems to only provide a temporary surge in happiness. Since a certain minimum income is needed for basic necessities, its possible that the happiness boost from extra cash isnt that great once you rise above the poverty line. This would explain Easter
83、lins findings in the United States and other developed countries. He argued that life satisfaction does rise with average incomes but only in the short term.Recent research has challenged the Easternlin paradox, however. In2013, sociologists Ruut Veenhoven and Floris Vergunst conducted a study using
84、 statistics from the World Database of Happiness. Their analysis revealed a positive correlation between economic growth and happiness. Another study by the University of Michigan found that there is no maximum wealth threshold at which more money ceases to contribute to your happiness: “If there is
85、 a satiation point, we are yet to reach it.” The studys findings suggested that every extra dollar you earn makes you happier. With a much debate about the relationship between money and happiness, its clear that happiness itself is a complex concept and depends on many factors.According to psycholo
86、gists Selin Kesebir and Shigehiro Oishi, happiness also depends on how your income compares to the people around you. They argue that a countrys economic growth only makes its citizens happier if wealth is evenly distributed. In emerging countries with high income inequalitywhere the rich get richer
87、 and the poor get pooreraverage happiness tends to drop because only relatively few people benefit from the economic prosperity. This suggests that governments should consider implementing policies to ensure more equal distribution of wealth. The happier people are, the more productive they are like

However, it is clear that wealth alone isnt enough
89、to make us happy. The effect of income inequality on happiness shows that happiness is a social responsibility. We need to remember the positive effects of generosity, altruism, and building social connections. Perhaps our focus should be less on how m uch money we have, and more on how we use it.43

93、ris Vergunst的分析表明，经济增长与幸福之间存在正相关关系。同时根据心理学家Selin Kesebir和Shigehiro Oishi的说法，幸福还取决于您的收入与周围人的比较。他们认为，只有财富平均分配，一个国家的经济增长才能使其公民更加幸福。作者认为我们应该少关注我们有多少钱，多关注我们如何使用它。【43题详解】细节理解题。第一段最后一句These differences between nation-level and individual results gave rise to the term “ Easterlin paradox”: the idea that a h
94、igher rate of economic growth does not result in higher long-term happiness.（国家水平和个人结果之间这些差异导致了“伊斯特林悖论”一词的出现:即较高的经济增长率并不会带来较高的长期幸福感。）可知根据这篇文章，伊斯特林悖论指的是高收入不一定带来幸福的观点。故选D。【44题详解】词义猜测题。根据上文Another study by the University of Michigan found that there is no maximum wealth threshold at which more money ce
95、ases to contribute to your happiness 可知没有最大财富门槛，在该门槛上，更多的钱不再为您的幸福做出贡献。指还没有一个临界点，在这个点上钱将不会使人开心。可推知如果有这样一个让人满足的点，我们还没有达到。故划线单词意思为“满足”，故选A。【45题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中They argue that a countrys economic growth only makes its citizens happier if wealth is evenly distributed.

97、原因。故选B。【46题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段中There is continuing debate about the link between wealth and happiness, with arguments both for and against the notion that richer countries are happier. However, it is clear that wealth alone isnt enough to make us happy.（关于财富与幸福之间的联系，人们仍在争论不休，有人支持，有人反对富裕国家更幸福的观点。然而，很明显，财
98、富本身并不足以使我们幸福。）以及文章主要内容可知主要围绕着经济与幸福相关的话题，所以短文的最佳标题是“幸福的经济学 ”。故选C。SectionCDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

113、.Solar geoengineering involves simulating a volcano by spraying aerosols(气溶胶) into the atmosphere. When they combine with oxygen, droplets of sulfuric acid (硫酸) form. These droplets reflect sunlight away from Earth, cooling the planet. All good in theory, but the consequences are largely unknown and
