阅读之Section C

　　【Passage One】

　　46. [B] He intends to get rid of the tipping practice.

　　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.根据题目中的Bill Perry这个专有名词，我们可以定位到文中的第一段话。在But后面有提到“我能告诉你我喜欢这个小伙子。因为他打算禁止付小费这种情况，而赞成给服务员实际的工资”。B选项和这句话的含义接近，get rid of意为“摆脱”，和ban“禁止”含义相近；plan to和intend to含义一样。所以正确答案为B.

　　47.根据题干中的关键词the author hates tipping和main reason可以返回原文，定位到第三段。文中说“我讨厌它，因为它将义务伪装成一种选择。”既然是义务，那必然是强迫顾客去做的事情，这和C选项的含义较为接近。

　　48.根据关键词many people love tipping返回原文，我们可以定位至第四段。根据文中第二行的You like to feel that you have a voice in how much money your server makes.可知，这题应该选择D选项。

　　49.文中问的是调查中一些服务员的观点，这在第五段的最后一句话中有所体现，文中说：一些服务员不认为他们的工作会受到收到的消费的影响。

　　50.本题问作者的观点，切记文中无人认领的观点便是作者的观点。在第六段的末尾有提到说，作者支持Bill Perry的观点，而Bill的观点就和D选项是近义表达。

　　【Passage Two】

　　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：本题是主旨题，原文第一段表示“过去油价下降总是刺激世界经济增长，但是即使现在油价下降越来越多，最新对经济增长的预测却不容乐观，这意味着更低的油价和增长之间的关系削弱了吗？”这第一段点明了主题，后面的段落都是在讨论油价下降为什么以前可以刺激经济增长，而现在却不再能刺激经济增长了。可以看出是C是正确答案。

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

　　解析：根据原文第二段 “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正确选项。

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

　　解析：根据原文第三段中“draw on their reserves to support government spending and subsidies for their consumers”，可以看出C是正确选项。

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

　　解析：根据原文第五段中“the negative effects of plunging oil prices are overwhelming the positive effects of cheaper oil”可以看出B是正确选项。

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

　　解析：根据原文第六段中“so the nations suffering from the price drop account for a larger share of the global economy”，可以看出是C正确选项。 责任编辑：LY
