You can find the answer in the beautiful scenery in the countryside. It is a place where you can see many tall trees, where wide roads run alongside big farms, and where a big river flows. You can see a lot of ducks on the rivers white sheet of water which opens out into a big bay by the sea.Every morning, we jog, enjoy the fresh air and meet our neighbors on the roads.

But in 2017, 54% of richcountry respondents counted themselves as happy,whereas in emerging markets the percentage jumped to 51%.The sharp increase happened thanks to huge improvements in countries such as Indonesia (+35)and Pakistan(+22).In 12 of the 24 emerging markets,half or more people rate their life satisfaction in the top of the ladder.This is not to say the link between income and satisfaction has been snapped. Poor countries still lag behind:only a quarter of the people there count themselves as happyhalf the level of the other two groups.There is also a clear link between happiness and income growth.Chinas GDP rose at an annual average rate of 10% in 20072017 and its happiness level rose 26 points.Within countries,richer people express more satisfaction than their poorer neighbors.The study divided respondents into categories with higher and lower incomes and fewer and more household goods.In every country in every group, richer folk with more goods expressed higher levels of happiness.So at a personal level,money does buy happiness.And if you ask people about different aspects of their liveshealth,family life,religion,standard of livingit turns out that satisfaction with living standards still has the biggest influence on happiness.24. Whats the standard view of happiness and income?A. Income is not closely related to happiness.B. Happiness does not depend on how much you earn.C. The higher your income is, the more likely you will feel satisfied.D. The more you are satisfied, the more you can earn every month.25. What contributed to the increase of happiness in emerging markets?A. Their rapid development.B. Investment in emerging markets.C. Economic downturn.D. More cooperation with rich countries.26. Whats the purpose of the writer by mentioning Chinas GDP?A. To prove that Chinas GDP growth led to the happiness of people in Asia.B. To remind readers of the progress that China has made.C. To express the authors concern about the development of emerging markets.D. To show that there is a link between happiness and income growth.27. What is the authors attitude to the standard view of happiness and income?A. Disappointed.B. SkepticalC. Supportive.D. Indifferent.【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述的是幸福和收入之间的关系。几十年来，民意调查的证据已经很清楚:金钱能买来幸福，你越富有，就越有可能对自己的生活表示满意。【24题详解】文章概要题。由第一段“opinion-poll evidence has been clear: money buys happiness and the richer you are, the more likely you are to express satisfaction with your life.”“ 民意调查的证据已经很清楚:金钱能买来幸福，你越富有，就越有可能表达对生活的满意。”可知，你的收入越高，你就越有可能感到满足。故选C项。【25题详解】细节推断题。由第三段 “But in 2017, , whereas in emerging markets the percentage jumped to 51%.”“ 但在2017年，而在新兴市场，这一比例跃升至51%。”和第四段 “But the convergence happened thanks to huge improvements in countries such as ”“但这种融合的发生得益于一些国家的巨大进步，比如”可推知，“他们的快速发展促进了新兴市场的幸福水平的提高”故选A项。【26题详解】目的意图推断题。由文章倒数第二段“There is also a clear link between happiness and income growth.”“ 幸福和收入增长之间也有明显的联系。”可知，作者提到中国GDP的目的是为了证明幸福和收入增长之间存在联系。故选D项。【27题详解】观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“at a personal level,money does buy happiness.” 以及“the biggest influence on happiness.”可知，作者对幸福和收入的标准观点持“支持”的态度。故选C项。【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。 这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。本题第3小题，由文章倒数第二段“There is also a clear link between happiness and income growth.”“ 幸福和收入增长之间也有明显的联系。”可知，作者提到中国GDP的目的是为了证明幸福和收入增长之间存在联系。故选D项。CMost of us are taught to pay attention to what is saidthe words.Words do provide us with some information,but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it wouldhinder (阻碍)our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily on words alone.Words are used to describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message.Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words.We dont always say what we mean or mean what we say.Sometimes our words dont mean anything except“Im letting off some steam, so dont take it seriously.I dont really want you to pay close attention to what Im saying.Just pay attention to what Im feeling.”Mostly we mean several things at once.A person wanting to purchase a house says to the current owner,“This step has to be fixed before Ill buy.”The owner says,“Its been like that for years.”Actually,the step hasnt been like that for years,but the unspoken message is:“I dont want to fix it.We put up with it.Why cant you？The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed of examining a message in terms of who said it,when it occurred,the related conditions or situation,and how it was said.When a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning. Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing.But one couple always kisses after an argument and the other couple always argues after a kiss.The ordering of the behaviors may mean a great deal more than the frequency of the behavior.We would do well to listen for how messages are presented.The words,“If sure has been nice to have you over,can be said
