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 (拥挤), 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(崩溃) 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 (人均国内生产总值) after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half the league at 60th.

解题:

第一步: 分析文章标题, 抓住文章主题词, 判断文章类型, 以及文章可能涉及到的内容

They say Ireland’s the Best 他们说爱尔兰是最好的

标题是句子(句子是用来陈述某个事实, 表达某个观点, 作为文章标题的句子往往都是观点句或概括总结句), 借助标题的特点判断文章为论述文, 文章的主题词是Ireland, 文章可能会把爱尔兰的某些方面与一些国家进行比较, 然后得出“爱尔兰是最好的”这个观点。

第二步: 直接看题解题。

解题思路: 特征词/核心词定位法。找出题干中的特征词,核心词/结构作为答案线索, 在文章中找到答案相关句, 对比答案相关句的内容和问题句的内容, 判断答案。

1.For 2,005 years, Ireland has been the best place for humans to live in.

A. right B. wrong C. not mentioned

答案:B。

分析: 问题句说“在2005年的时间里,爱尔兰一直是最适合人类居住的地方。” 除了时间状语结构(For 2,005 years)以外, 这个句子主句的内容与文章标题内容接近, 而时间状语结构恰恰就是我们所说的一种可作为线索的特征结构(因为数字容易在文章中被查找到), 我们利用2,005作为答案线索,这样在文章中找到答案相关句: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.划线结构中提到的是“for 2005(对2005年而言)”, 不是问题句中说的“For 2,005 years(在2005年的时间里)”,而且划线结构说“爱尔兰是2005年世界上最适合居住的地方” , 显然这个内容与问题句的内容不一致, 因此判断问题句的说法错误。

典型考点: 考察文章主题句。

常见出题形式:对主题句的句子结构进行调整, 或改动主题句中出现的细节信息内容。

2.Job security is the least important measure of life quality.

A. right B. wrong C. not mentioned

答案:C。

分析:问题句说“职业稳定是衡量生活质量的最不重要的标准。”利用题干中出现的核心短语“(主语)Job security/职业稳定”和“(表语)life quality/生活质量”作为答案线索, 同时关注题干中出现的修饰结构“the least important/最不重要的”, 这样找到答案相关句:

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”. 题干中的核心短语分散在了两个句子中, 但是在这两个看似与问题句相关的句子中并没有出现比较的结构(没有内容与题干中的修饰结构the least important呼应), 推测这道题可能在考察考生的推断能力。 第一个划线句说“根据上周出现在英国经济学家杂志上的生活质量排名,爱尔兰是2005年世界上最适合居住的地方。”这句话的内容与问题句不相关,第2个划线句说“111个国家使用的标准除了包括那本杂志上提到的“自由, 家庭和社会生活”这方面的数据, 还涉及到了有关收入, 健康, 失业, 气候, 政治稳定性,职业稳定, 和性别平等的数据内容。”这句话表明“工作稳定与收入, 健康等这些内容共同组成衡量标准”, 而且前一个划线句提到“爱尔兰在生活质量排名中位于第一位”,因此可以推断出这111个国家应该是参加“生活质量”排名的国家, 当然这些国家所使用的标准也就是“衡量生活质量标准”,但是文章中并没有对“职业稳定”等这些衡量标准进行比较,没有说哪方面的因素最重要的/最不重要的衡量标准。因此判断这个问题句的说法为“没提到”。

提示:只要问题句中有某部分信息(例如上题中的比较内容)在文章中没有相呼应的内容, 我们就可以判定该句的内容为“没提到”。

3. Cost of living in Ireland is pretty high.

A. right B. wrong C. not mentioned

答案:A.

分析:问题句说“爱尔兰的生活费用高”。 利用题干中的核心短语“(主语)Cost of living/生活费用”作为答案线索, 同时关注题干中出现的修饰结构“pretty high/相当高”,这样找到答案相关句:Despite the bad weather, troubled health service, traffic congestion (拥挤), gender inequality, and the high cost of living, Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10. 题干的核心短语和修饰结构都出现在这个句子中, 因此判断这个句子很可能就是直接答案相关句,该句说“尽管气候恶劣,健康机构混乱, 交通拥挤, 性别歧视仍然存在, 生活费用高,爱尔兰所获得的分数仍然给人留下了深刻的印象:满分为十分,爱尔兰获得了8.33分”。根据这个句子的内容可以知道“爱尔兰的生活费用高”,因此问题句的说法与原文的说法一致。

out of: 从…里头

e.g. Choose out of these. 从这些当中选择罢。

e.g. nine cases out of ten 十有八九

典型考点: 考察某个句子的某部分句子结构的含义。

常见出题形式:对原文句子中的某部分结构“升级”成一个句子(问题句)。

4. Family life in Zimbabwe is not stable.

A. right B. wrong C
