本文中的父親通過水瓶自爆這一件事情，向女兒闡明了這樣一個(gè)道理：有些事情解釋得越清楚，別人聽起來就越不相信。
【小題1】由第10空前那句話可知，拿水瓶倒茶后進(jìn)入內(nèi)室的是主人(host)。
【小題2】相對(duì)于host而言。第4個(gè)空格后又再現(xiàn)了這一信息。
【小題3】突然想起了什么事情，又匆忙跑進(jìn)內(nèi)屋，用think of表示“想起來”。此空可以根據(jù)行文邏輯和詞語搭配關(guān)系選定。
【小題4】上下呼應(yīng)。從下面的水瓶掉下地，打碎來推測(cè)，水瓶是放在桌子上。另前文的place it on the small table也暗示了這一點(diǎn)。
【小題5】與主人的“離開”形成對(duì)比，客人“仍舊”坐在那兒。
【小題6】通過下文得知，是水瓶爆了所發(fā)出的爆炸應(yīng)用“crash”。由第8空后的sound一詞也可得到啟發(fā)。
【小題7】look over one’s shoulder意為“回過頭看”，合乎文意。
【小題8】“叫”“哭”有可能發(fā)生在水瓶爆裂的時(shí)侯，不可能發(fā)生在事后，故排除C、D。驚訝時(shí)會(huì)“盯著看”，合乎常情。
【小題9】因?yàn)闆]人碰過水瓶，所以事情有點(diǎn)“蹊蹺”。
【小題10】水瓶炸裂，流出熱水，自然會(huì)冒出蒸氣，故用“steaming”。A、D兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)不太可能出現(xiàn)。
【小題11】由第17空后的knock it down推知。
【小題12】因?yàn)榕畠涸窍虼巴饪吹�，所以透過窗戶玻璃看到的是父親的“影像”，故用reflection。
【小題13】指身體的紋絲不動(dòng)用still，指沒有聲音用silent,指心平氣和用calm，這里顯然指身體的未動(dòng)。straight較為片面，應(yīng)舍去。
【小題14】laugh（笑著說）表明了父親的睿智。
【小題15】give此處表示“給出理由”。
【小題16】此處do為vi，意為“起作用”，help沒有do蘊(yùn)含豐富。
【小題17】由行文邏輯和空格后的accept推定。
【小題18】defend sth. 意為“為……而辯解”。全句意為：你越辯解，別人越不相信。
【小題19】父親講得玄乎，女兒聽得似懂非懂，be lost意為“迷茫”。
【小題20】上文中父親對(duì)水瓶爆裂原因的敘述就是一種“解釋”。do和manage 也說得通，但意義較為籠統(tǒng)，不及explain含義準(zhǔn)確.

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年遼寧省沈陽二中高二12月月考英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解
You’re out to dinner. 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 as 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 waiter’s choice of words to how they carry themselves while taking orders to the bill’s total.
“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 being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics them.”
So Rick van Baren 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 Baaren then compared their take-home(實(shí)得收入). The results were clear---it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat 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 limited by his bill. After research on the 1,000 tips left for waiters, cab drivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up.
“That’s 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 weren’t there you’d never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”
【小題1】According to the passage, a customer gives the cab driver a tip for ____.
| A．driver’s politeness | B．being there | C．driver’s attitudes | D．driver’s mimicry |
| A．oppose Mr. Green’s idea about tipping |
| B．support the opinions of Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping |
| C．give his generous tip to the waiters very often |
| D．think part of Mr. Green’s explanation is reasonable |

How Much to Tip
You’re out to dinner. 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 as 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 waiter’s choice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bill’s total. Even 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 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 Baaren then compared their take-home. The results were clear — it 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 limited 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 (達(dá)到穩(wěn)定水平) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $100.
“That’s 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 weren’t there, you’d never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”
1. Apart from service, how many other factors affecting the customers’ tipping are mentioned in the passage?
A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.
2. These studies show that _________.
A. tipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiter’s factors
B. people who are being mimicked usually tip less to the person who mimics them
C. the mimic waiters can get almost twice as much money as the other group
D. mimicry makes the mimicker feel bad
3. According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages?
 |
A B C D
4. We know from the passage that the writer seems to __________.
A. object to Mr. Green’s idea about tipping
B. think part of Mr. Green’s explanation is reasonable
C. give his generous tip to waiters very often
D. support the opinions of Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping
