Question

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(心理學(xué)家)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 can pocket by the end of the night． 　　“Studies before have shown what the mimicker(逗樂者)brings into positive feelings for the customers,” wrote Rick van Baren, a social psychology professor．“These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics(逗樂)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 Baren then compared their take-home．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, and hair stylists, they found tip percentages in the three areas dropped as customers' bills went up．In fact, tip percentages appear to reach a plateau(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 t here you'd never get any service．So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there．” (1) According to the passage, which of the following factors will NOT influence the customers' tipping? [　　] A． waiters' service quality B． waiters' presence there C． waiters' being mimicked D． waiters' taking message to customers (2) According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages? [　　] A． B． C． D． (3) In the last paragraph, the writer uses the facts to develop his idea that ________． [　　] A． tipping can be affected by some psychological reactions B． tipping can be affected by many different factors C． tipping sometimes is just for being there to get service D． tipping is just about the service itself or the waiters (4) From the passage we can learn that the writer seems to ________． [　　] A． have studied how waiters should mimic the customers B． think part of Rick van Baren's explanation reasonable C． give his generous tip to cab drivers very often D． support Mr．Green's opinion about tipping

Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．D;3．C;4．D;
解析：

(1)	考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第三段的最后一句話可知，能夠?qū)㈩櫩投簶返姆��?wù)員會(huì)收到更多的小費(fèi)，因此C錯(cuò)誤。
(2)	考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段中they found tip percentages in the three areas dropped as customers' bills went up．可知小費(fèi)的數(shù)目與顧客的賬單數(shù)目成反比；同時(shí)根據(jù)本段的最后可知，當(dāng)顧客賬單達(dá)到一定數(shù)目時(shí)，小費(fèi)數(shù)目不再變化。由此可知符合這些的是D。
(3)	考查推理判斷題。文章最后一段提供了另一個(gè)人們付小費(fèi)的原因：just for being there．因此選C。
(4)	解析：考查推理判斷題。A和C文章沒有提到與此相關(guān)的內(nèi)容；B項(xiàng)根據(jù)文章可知part of一詞錯(cuò)誤，因?yàn)樽髡咭�用Rick Van Baren的觀點(diǎn)是為了說明付小費(fèi)的原因，由此可知作者是同意他的看法的；D正確，因?yàn)檫@是作者提供的用來解釋人們?yōu)楹胃缎≠M(fèi)的一個(gè)原因。 　　文章大意：文章主要從顧客心理的角度分析了幾個(gè)付小費(fèi)的原因。
