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 a
16、s 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 waiters choice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bills total. Even
17、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(模仿)brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,” wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. “These studies show that people who are
18、being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics 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
19、Baaren then compared their takehome. The results were clearit pays to mimic your customer. The copycat(模仿者)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 l
20、imited 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(达到稳定水平)when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no b
21、igger percentage tip than a bill for $100.“Thats also a point of tipping,” Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they werent there, youd never get any service. So part of the idea of
22、a tip is for just being there.”文章大意:你到餐馆就餐,付账也要付小费。该给多少呢?1Apart from service, how many other factors affecting the customers tipping are mentioned in the passage?A1.B2.C3.D4.2These studies show that_.Atipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiters factorsBpeople who are bein
23、g mimicked usually tip less to the person who mimics themCthe mimic waiters can get almost twice as much money as the other groupDmimicry makes the mimicker feel bad3According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages?4We know from the pass
24、age that the writer seems to_.Aobject to Mr Greens idea about tippingBthink part of Mr Greens explanation is reasonableCgive his generous tip to waiters very oftenDsupport the opinions of Mr Green and Rick van Baaren about tippingI 1答案:A本题题意:她今晚很可能给我打电话。当主语为表示“人”的名词或代词时,通常采用形容词likely担任表语,而不用probable
25、以及possible.2答案:C本题题意:他从不整理自己的房间, 而他母亲也从未想逼他整理。make作为使役动词,后接不带to的不定式担任宾语补足语。注意:使役动词make不能采用现在分词担任宾补。3答案:A本题题意:如果你想设计一辆能够让所有司机都满意的汽车,最后的结果是这辆汽车拥有所有的功能,但没有一个人喜欢。try to do sth表示“设法做;尽力做难做的事”。4答案:C本题题意:要想把英文讲得很流利,你最好尽量多看英文文章。本题考查as.as sb can结构,相当于as.as possible.5答案:B本题题意;目前我不能出让那所房子, 此刻房价正在急剧上涨。hold on t
26、o 表示“保留;不卖掉;不放弃”。6答案:A本题题意:他哥哥的榜样激励他去接受足球队的选拔测试。try out for表示“参加的选拔(或试演)”。7答案:B本题题意:谁泄露了考试结果?在明天以前这些结果都属于机密。let out表示“泄露”。8答案:B本题题意:琼不想马上就工作,因为她觉得要是工作了,可能就不能经常见到朋友们了。由句意可知,琼目前没有工作,近期内也不打算找工作,句中if从句所表示的是与将来事实相反的假设。9答案:B本题题意:要不是有你的帮助,我们是永远都无法克服这些困难的。当虚拟条件句中的谓语动词含有were, had 或should时,可以省略if,并将were, had或
27、should移至句首。10答案:A本题题意:哎,真恼人!我本来可以轻而易举地把要给你们看的那些照片带来,可我却把它们忘在家里的桌子上了。I have left them on the table at home.相当于if I hadnt left them on the table at home,表达了一个与过去事实相反的假设。II 答案:1. likely tolikely/probable2. feel at home3. held/hung on4. away from5. for myself6. on your way to7. Fill in/out; at the botto
28、m of8. try out9. took your advice; as a result10. The night before last; looking through; let outIII 1答案:Dnot/never.until.意为“直到才”。2答案:C从上下文内容可以看出,作者的母亲目前还“活着(alive)”。3答案:Brepeat“重复”;realize“意识到”;experience“经历”;interrupt“打断”;此处意为“我意识到母亲是多么的不平凡”,所以答案选B。4答案:A从句中的“sad”可推知“我在母亲面前不会说这些话”。5答案:D从句后的“easily
29、from my pen”可判断出,此处该用flow,表示“(写作)流畅”。write不可与“from my pen”连用。6答案:Cthank sb. for sth.意为“为某事感激某人”。其他三个选项均与句意不符。7答案:B下文中“loving, thoughtful, patient, and forgiving”有提示。8答案:Afor understanding a moody teenager意为“理解一个情绪不稳定的青少年”。control“控制”;compare“比较”;protect“保持”;均不符合句意。9答案:Dknow everything表示“知道一切”,根据句意知,
30、答案选D。10答案:C从定语从句的内容可知,这里用day,表示“等待女儿意识到母亲实在是不平凡的那一天的到来”。11答案:Bgrown意为“成熟的”;a grown woman意为“成年妇女”。12答案:A本文最后一句中“I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine”可知作者自己也是母亲了。13答案:Dremain是连系动词,后接形容词作表语。句中的“silent”是重要信息词。14答案:C“I told you so”为“saying”的内容,因此答案选C。15答案:B此处意为“她本可以多次
31、说出这样的话”。用“words”指代“I told you so”。16答案:A上文已经谈到“我不会当着母亲的面说赞美之词”,此处表示“我除了祈祷之外,别无他法”。因此选except。17答案:Ddeserve与richly连用,意为“完全得到,理应得到”。18答案:Cgo through“经历,遭受”;leave out“不包括;不提及”;live up to“达到;符合;不辜负(他人的期望)”;take off“起飞”;由句意知,答案选C。19答案:B从“dear God”以及上文内容提示可知,此句表示“我祈祷在我孩子的心目中”。只有选项B符合句意。20答案:A综观全文,此处表示“在我孩子
32、的心目中”。IV 1答案:D细节理解题。由第二段“.the waiters choice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bills total. Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.”可知,除了服务外,还有其他四个因素影响小费的多少。2答案:C推理判断题。由第三段最后一句话“These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics them.”和第四段最后一句话可推知。3答案:C推理判断题。由第五段可知,消费者的消费增加而小费所占消费的比例却在下降;而且在100至200美元消费区间的消费趋于平衡。4答案:D推理判断题。全文对Mr Green and Rick van Baaren的观点进行了客观的讲述,向我们介绍有关小费的理论。不难推知,作者赞同他们的理论。 高考资源网%
