　　【Passage One參考答案】

　　47. [C] It forces the customer to compensate the waiter.

　　48. [D] They can have some say in how much their servers earn.

　　49. [A] Services quality has little effect on tip size.

　　50. [D] Waiters should be paid by employers instead of customers.

　　【答案解析】

　　46.根據(jù)題目中的Bill Perry這個專有名詞，我們可以定位到文中的第一段話。在But后面有提到“我能告訴你我喜歡這個小伙子。因為他打算禁止付小費這種情況，而贊成給服務(wù)員實際的工資”。B選項和這句話的含義接近，get rid of意為“擺脫”，和ban“禁止”含義相近﹔plan to和intend to含義一樣。所以正確答案為B.

　　47.根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞the author hates tipping和main reason可以返回原文，定位到第三段。文中說“我討厭它，因為它將義務(wù)偽裝成一種選擇。”既然是義務(wù)，那必然是強迫顧客去做的事情，這和C選項的含義較為接近。

　　48.根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞many people love tipping返回原文，我們可以定位至第四段。根據(jù)文中第二行的You like to feel that you have a voice in how much money your server makes.可知，這題應(yīng)該選擇D選項。

　　49.文中問的是調(diào)查中一些服務(wù)員的觀點，這在第五段的最后一句話中有所體現(xiàn)，文中說：一些服務(wù)員不認為他們的工作會受到收到的消費的影響。

　　50.本題問作者的觀點，切記文中無人認領(lǐng)的觀點便是作者的觀點。在第六段的末尾有提到說，作者支持Bill Perry的觀點，而Bill的觀點就和D選項是近義表達。

　　【Passage Two參考答案】

　　51. [C] The impact of cheap oil on global economic growth.

　　52. [D] Consumers will spend their savings from cheap oil on other commodities.

　　53. [C] They use their money reserves to back up consumption.

　　54. [B] Its negative effects more than cancel out its positive effects.

　　55. [C] Oil importers account for a larger portion of the global economy.

　　【答案解析】

　　51. [C] The impact of cheap oil on global economic growth.

　　解析：本題是主旨題，原文第一段表示“過去油價下降總是刺激世界經(jīng)濟增長，但是即使現(xiàn)在油價下降越來越多，最新對經(jīng)濟增長的預(yù)測卻不容樂觀，這意味著更低的油價和增長之間的關(guān)系削弱了嗎？”這第一段點明了主題，后面的段落都是在討論油價下降為什麼以前可以刺激經(jīng)濟增長，而現(xiàn)在卻不再能刺激經(jīng)濟增長了。可以看出是C是正確答案。

　　52. [D] Consumers will spend their savings from cheap oil on other commodities.

　　解析：根據(jù)原文第二段 “some experts say there are still good reasons to ... They spend that money on other things, which stimulates the economy”，可以看出是D正確選項。

　　53. [C] They use their money reserves to back up consumption.

　　解析：根據(jù)原文第三段中“draw on their reserves to support government spending and subsidies for their consumers”，可以看出C是正確選項。

　　54. [B] Its negative effects more than cancel out its positive effects.

　　解析：根據(jù)原文第五段中“the negative effects of plunging oil prices are overwhelming the positive effects of cheaper oil”可以看出B是正確選項。

　　55. [C] Oil importers account for a larger portion of the global economy.

　　解析：根據(jù)原文第六段中“so the nations suffering from the price drop account for a larger share of the global economy”，可以看出是C正確選項。
