Question

【題目】

It is a country, in northern Europe. It is home to Santa Claus and the game Angry Birds. And it was recently said to be the world's happiest country. It's Finland（芬蘭）!

According to this year's United Nations World Happiness Report, Finland topped 156 countries and regions to get the title of the world's happiest country. The ranking（排名）considers six key factors（因素）—income（收入）, freedom, trust, healthy life expectancy（預(yù)期健康壽命）, social support, and generosity（慷慨）.

What made Finland stand out? Why are its 5. 5 million people so happy?

One reason is the country's history of equality（平等）, the Guardian reported. The Finnish government has worked hard to reach a balance between men and women, workers and bosses, and foreigners and locals.

Finland successfully cut the size of its homeless population between 2014 and 2016. The lifestyles of the rich and poor in Finland are not too different, The Economist noted.

Making sure of equality encourages people to build trust, over 80 percent of Finns trust the country's police, education and healthcare systems. People there live in a pleasant and safe environment.

The Finns also have a positive attitude（態(tài)度）toward life. There is a word that describes this attitude—"sisu". It means the ability to stay strong during difficult times. This helps the Finns deal with stress and worry, as well as keeps them happy and energetic.

【解析】

芬蘭是一個(gè)北歐國(guó)家，它是圣誕老人和憤怒的小鳥(niǎo)的家鄉(xiāng)。最近這個(gè)國(guó)家被評(píng)為世界上最幸福的國(guó)家，為什么那里的人們?nèi)绱诵腋Ｄ�？短文給我們分析了原因。

【1】主旨大意題。短文第一段 “And it was recently said to be the world's happiest country. It's Finland（芬蘭）!”提到芬蘭是世界上最幸福的國(guó)家。然后第三段 “What made Finland stand out? Why are its 5. 5 million people so happy?”提出了問(wèn)題，點(diǎn)明了文章的主旨，即為什么芬蘭是最幸福的國(guó)家。因此C選項(xiàng)“在芬蘭找到快樂(lè)”符合文章主題，故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段 “The ranking（排名）considers six key factors（因素）—income（收入）, freedom, trust, healthy life expectancy（預(yù)期健康壽命）, social support, and generosity（慷慨）.”可知，這個(gè)排名考慮到六個(gè)主要因素。故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第四段 “One reason is the country's history of equality（平等）, the Guardian reported.”可知，其中一個(gè)原因是這個(gè)國(guó)家擁有平等的歷史。故選D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第五段 “Finland successfully cut the size of its homeless population between 2014 and 2016.”可知，在2014到2016年間，芬蘭成功消減了無(wú)家可歸的人數(shù)。故選A。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一段 “The Finns also have a positive attitude（態(tài)度）toward life. There is a word that describes this attitude—"sisu". It means the ability to stay strong during difficult times.”可知，芬蘭人面對(duì)生活的態(tài)度是積極的，在困難時(shí)期他們總是能保持堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。故選B。

這是一篇議論文，短文講述了芬蘭被稱為世界上最幸福的國(guó)家的原因。文章主題明確，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，比較容易理解。題型是閱讀理解，考查了主旨大意和細(xì)節(jié)理解題。做題時(shí)，應(yīng)先快速閱讀短文，了解文章大意；然后根據(jù)題目所問(wèn)以及題型特點(diǎn)，再次回讀，用跳讀法快速定位答案所在位置，并結(jié)合選項(xiàng)作答。如第1小題，這是一個(gè)主旨大意題，根據(jù)議論文的特點(diǎn)，文章主題應(yīng)在短文開(kāi)頭提出，然后下文根據(jù)論點(diǎn)進(jìn)行論證。這篇短文的主題出現(xiàn)得還比較晚，文章前兩段先給了我們一些事實(shí)，即“芬蘭被稱為世界上最幸福的國(guó)家”；第三段提出了文章的主旨，即“這背后的原因”。故C選項(xiàng)符合文章主題。第3題是一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)題，但它的閱讀量可能比較大，不是根據(jù)一句話、兩句話就可以得出答案，短文從第四段就開(kāi)始分析原因，可結(jié)合選項(xiàng)與原文進(jìn)行選擇。A選項(xiàng)不是原因；B選項(xiàng)不符合文意；C選項(xiàng)斷章取義，原文是The Finnish government has worked hard to reach a balance…，是對(duì)D選項(xiàng)進(jìn)一步的解釋。D選項(xiàng)符合原文，故選D。
