真題回放
They Say Ireland's the Best
Ireland is the best place in the world to live in for 2005, according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain's Economist magazine last week.
The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.
The index of 111 countries uses data on incomes, health, unemployment, climate, political stability, job security, gender equality as well as what the magazine calls "freedom, family and community life".
Despite the bad weather, troubled health service, traffic congestion (擁擠), gender inequality and the high cost of living, Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10. That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland, which managed 8.07. Zimbabwe troubled by political insecurity and hunger, is rated the gloomiest (最差的), picking up only 3.89 points.
Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued, the report said, "some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown (崩潰) in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact."
Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old, such as stable family and community life.
The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do, and that its findings would have their critics.
No. 2 on the list is Switzerland. The other nations in the top 10 are Norway, Luxembourg, Sweden, Australia, Iceland, Italy, Denmark and Spain.
The UK is positioned at No. 29, a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics. The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP (人均國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值) after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half of the league at 60th. (2005年)

[答案解析]
16.B。[解析]題干大意:在長達2005年里,愛爾蘭一直是世界上最適合人類居住的地方。文章第一段提到:Ireland is the best place in the world to live in for 2005, according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain's Economist magazine last week. 題干所述與文章信息不符,故答案為B。
17.C。[解析]題干大意:工作穩(wěn)定是生活質(zhì)量中最不重要的衡量標準。文章第三段提到了工作穩(wěn)定job security,但是并沒有對工作穩(wěn)定進行具體說明,也沒有說工作穩(wěn)定是生活質(zhì)量中最不重要的衡量標準。題干所述在文章中沒有體現(xiàn),故答案為C。
18.A。[解析]題干大意:在愛爾蘭生活成本相當高。這一信息可以從第四段中的詞組the high cost of living(很高的生活成本)進行定位。原文提到:Despite the bad weather, troubled health service, traffic congestion (擁擠), gender inequality and the high cost of living, Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10. 盡管存在天氣不好、醫(yī)療服務(wù)不周、交通擁擠、性別不平等和生活成本高等問題,愛爾蘭仍能在總分10分中獲得8.33的高分。
19.C。[解析]題干大意:在津巴布韋,家庭生活不穩(wěn)定。文章中沒有提到任何有關(guān)在津巴布韋家庭生活不穩(wěn)定的信息,故答案為C。
20.A。[解析]題干大意:愛爾蘭名列榜首是因為它把最好的新元素和一些好的傳統(tǒng)結(jié)合在一起。第六段:“Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old, such as stable family and community life.”故答案為A。
21.B。[解析]題干大意:評價生活質(zhì)量很容易。第七段提到:The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do. 該雜志承認評價生活質(zhì)量不是一件簡單的事。題干所述與原文信息正好相反,故答案為B。
22.B。[解析]題干大意:美國在前十名。文章最后一段最后一句提到:The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP (人均國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值) after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. 題干所述與原文信息不符,故答案為B。
Achilles' heel
選項中出現(xiàn)的程度、范圍、頻率詞等與原文中的信息不相符等造成選擇錯誤。例如:2005年綜合類B級的閱讀判斷分析They Say Ireland's the Best這篇文章中的第16題。針對2005這一數(shù)字,文章提到為2005年,而題干中卻偷換為在長達2005年之中,意思有著天壤之別,所以我們做題時一定要認真。
