【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者以自己在法国坐车给司机小费的事为例，引出了文章主题：不同国家的小费习俗差异很大，造成了不小的混乱。
1．答案与解析：C　由上文“When the Taxi driver sent us back at midnight，”和下文“worried all the way home about tipping him since I was not rich”可知，作者并不富有，所以在回来的路上，一直暗自担心给司机小费的事。
2．答案与解析：B　句意：我紧张地在钱包里摸找，意识到我只有一张100美元的钞票，这100美元是我为了应付紧急情况而准备的，除了两块婚礼上的巧克力，包里什么都没有。由下文“nervously in my purse and realized that all I had was a $100 note”可知，作者在钱包里摸，要找钱。
3．答案与解析：A　由上文“realized that all I had was a $100 note, which I was keeping for a(n)”可知，作者钱包里只有100美元，这是为了应付紧急情况而准备的。
4．答案与解析：C　句意：我不能不给他小费，所以我陷入了进退两难的境地。由上文“I couldn't not tip him”可知，作者钱包里只有100美元，这是为紧急情况而准备的，不能给司机作为小费，所以作者陷入进退两难的境地，be stuck between a rock and a hard place意为“陷入进退两难的境地”。
5．答案与解析：D　句意：最后我递给了他这张钞票，控制住了要求他找钱的冲动。由上文“I handed in the note at last, controlling the urge to ask for”和上文提到的作者只有100美元的一张钞票，以及作者并不富有可知，作者本打算要司机找钱，所以此处指作者控制住了要求找零钱的冲动。
6．答案与解析：B　句意：长期以来，小费一直是世界各地尴尬互动的一个来源。 由下文“Such an embarrassed mess often”可知，不同国家的小费习俗差异很大，造成了不小的混乱，所以说小费一直是世界各地尴尬互动的一个来源。
7．答案与解析：A　句意：不同国家的小费习俗差异很大，造成了不小的混乱。 由下文“wildly from country to country”可知，不同国家的小费习俗差异很大，vary from...to...固定搭配，意为“从……到……不同”。
8．答案与解析：D　由下文“Such an embarrassed mess”可知，此处指不同国家的小费习俗差异很大，造成了不小的混乱。
9．答案与解析：C　句意：挪威人来自一个工资高、小费低的文化，他们提供的微不足道的小费可能会惹恼拉斯维加斯的人们。由上文“Norwegians, who come from a culture where wages are high and tips are low”和下文“people in Las Vegas with their tiny offerings”可知，挪威人来自一个工资高、小费低的文化，所以他们提供的微不足道的小费可能会惹恼拉斯维加斯的人们。
10．答案与解析：B　句意：同样，给高额小费的美国人可能会激怒东京人，因为在日本，良好的服务是一个荣誉问题。上文都在举例子说明不同国家的小费习俗差异很大，造成了不小的混乱，所以此处表示“同样地”。
11．答案与解析：A　句意：同样，给高额小费的美国人可能会激怒东京人，因为在日本，良好的服务是一个荣誉问题。由上文“good service in Japan is a”和下文“of honour”可知，在日本，良好的服务是一个荣誉问题，a matter of固定搭配，意为“……的问题”。
12．答案与解析：D　句意：这种尴尬的混乱经常发生，因为没有一致的逻辑。 由上文“Such an embarrassed mess often occurs”可知，这种尴尬的混乱经常发生，因为没有统一一致的逻辑。
13．答案与解析：A　句意：同样，2016年一项来自康奈尔大学的研究发现，人们给超市送货员小费的可能性是超市店员的两倍。 由下文“that people are twice as likely to tip a supermarket delivery person than a supermarket store worker.”可知，人们给超市送货员小费的可能性是超市店员的两倍，这是研究发现的。
14．答案与解析：C　由上文“that people are twice as likely to tip a supermarket delivery person than a supermarket store worker.”可知，研究发现，人们给超市送货员小费的可能性是超市店员的两倍，这说明给超市店员和送货员的小费很不同，即差异很大。
15．答案与解析：D　句意：也许，给一个人小费而不是另一个人只有在已经成为习惯的情况下才讲得通。由上文“And nobody can work out the reasons for this __14__”，“Perhaps, tipping one and not the other only”和下文“in terms of what has become customary”可知，人们给超市送货员小费的可能性是超市店员的两倍，为什么会有那么大的差异，无人知道，或许一个讲得通的解释是：这已经成为了习惯。
Test 5
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在文章中讲述了自己因为多年照顾家庭而忽略自己的外表，想要通过一些行为来表现得更年轻，同事不经意的询问让她开始反思什么是真正的美，最后她明白了内在美比外在美更重要、更持久。
1．答案与解析：C　“轻微保养”这个词完美地描述了我的美容方法。 根据上文“For many years, I was so wrapped up in my kids and my family that I ignored how I looked. ”可知，作者多年没有注重保养，所以此处用slight来修饰“保养”，符合语境。
2．答案与解析：A　直到最近，当我拍了一张工作证的照片，我才意识到“青年列车”已经离开了车站，而我已经不在车上了。根据下文“The woman in the ID picture looked __3__ and definitely middle aged. ”可知，作者意识到自己已到中年，所以此处表达“意识到”青年列车已离开。
