As a person who writes about food and drink for a living. I couldn’t tell you the first thing about Bill Perry or whether the beers he sells are that great. But I can tell you that I like this guy. That’s because he plans to ban tipping in favor of paying his servers an actual living wage.
I hate tipping.
I hate it because it’s an obligation disguised as an option. I hate it for the post-dinner math it requires of me. But mostly, I hate tipping because I believe I would be in a better place if pay decisions regarding employees were simply left up to their employers, as is the custom in virtually every other industry.
Most of you probably think that you hate tipping, too. Research suggests otherwise. You actually love tipping! You like to feel that you have a voice in how much money your server makes. No matter how the math works out, you persistently view restaurants with voluntary tipping systems as being a better value, which makes it extremely difficult for restaurants and bars to do away with the tipping system.
One argument that you tend to hear a lot from the pro-tipping crowd seems logical enough：the service is better when waiters depend on tips, presumably because they see a benefit to successfully veiling their contempt for you. Well, if this were true, we would all be slipping a few 100-dollar bills to our doctors on the way out their doors, too. But as it turns out, waiters see only a tiny bump in tips when they do an exceptional job compared to a passable one. Waiters, keen observers of humanity that they are, are catching on to this; in one poll, a full 30% said they didn’t believe the job they did had any impact on the tips they received.
So come on, folks：get on board with ditching the outdated tip system. Pay a little more upfront for your beer or burger. Support Bill Perry’s pub, and any other bar or restaurant that doesn’t ask you to do drunken math.
4. What can we learn about Bill Perry from the passage？
A. He runs a pub that serves excellent beer.
B. He intends to get rid of the tipping practice.
C. He gives his staff a considerable sum for tips.
D. He lives comfortably without getting any tips.
5. What is the main reason why the author hates tipping？
A. It sets a bad example for other industries.
B. It adds to the burden of ordinary customers.
C. It forces the customer to compensate the waiter.
D. It poses a great challenge for customers to do math.
6. Why do many people love tipping according to the author？
A. They help improve the quality of the restaurants they dine in.
B. They believe waiters deserve such rewards for good service.
C. They want to preserve a wonderful tradition of the industry.
D. They can have some say in how much their servers earn.
7. What does the author argue for in the passage？
A. Restaurants should calculate the tips for customers.
B. Customers should pay more tips to help improve service.
C. Waiters deserve better than just relying on tips for a living.
D. Waiters should be paid by employers instead of customers.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. D

C
The Paris climate agreement finalised in December last year heralded a new era for climate action. For the first time, the world’s nations agreed to keep global warming well below 2°C.
This is vital for climate-vulnerable nations. Fewer than 4% of countries are responsible for more than half of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. In a study published in Nature Scientific Reports, we reveal just how deep this injustice runs.
Developed nations such as Australia, the United States, Canada, and European countries are essentially climate “free-riders”：causing the majority of the problems through high greenhouse gas emissions, while incurri ng few of the costs such as climate change’s impact on food and water.
In other words, a few countries are benefiting enormously from the consumption of fossil fuels, while at the same time contributing disproportionately to the global burden of climate change.
On the flip side, there are many “forced riders”, who are suffering from the climate change impacts despite having scarcely contributed to the problem. Many of the world’s most climate vulnerable countries, the majority of which are African or small island states, produce a very small quantity of emissions. This is much like a non-smoker getting cancer from second-hand smoke, while the heavy smoker is fortunate enough to smoke in good health.
The Paris agreement has been widely welcomed as a positive step forward in addressing climate change for all, although the details on addressing “climate justice” can be best described as sketchy.
The goal of keeping global temperature rise “well below” 2°C is praiseworthy but the emissions-reduction pledges submitted by countries leading up to the Paris talks arc very unlikely to deliver on this.
More than $ 100 billion in funding has been put on the table for supporting developing nations to reduce emissions. However, the agreement specifies that there is no formal distinction between developed and developing nations in their responsibility to cut emissions, effectively ignoring historical emissions. There is also very little detail on who will provide the funds or, importantly, who is responsible for their provision. Securing these funds, and establishing who is responsible for raising them will also be vital for the future of climate-vulnerable countries.
The most climate-vulnerable countries in the world have contributed very little to creating the global disease from which they now suffer the most. There must urgently be a meaningful
mobilisation of the policies outlined in the agreement if we are to achieve national emissions reductions while helping the most vulnerable countries adapt to climate change.
And it is clearly up to the current generation of leaders from high-emitting nations to decide whether they want to be remembered as climate change tyrants or pioneers.
8. The author is critical of the Paris climate agreement because .
A. it is unfair to those climate-vulnerable nations
B. it aims to keep temperature rise below 2°C only
C. it is beneficial to only fewer than 4% of countries
D. it burdens developed countries with the sole responsibility
9. Why does the author call some developed countries cl imate “free-riders”？
A. They needn’t worry about the food and water they consume.
B. They are better able to cope with the global climate change.
C. They hardly pay anything for the problems they have caused.
D. They are free from the greenhouse affects af fecting “forced riders”.
10. Why does the author compare the “forced riders” to second-hand smokers？
A. They have little responsibility for public health problems.
B. They are vulnerable to unhealthy environmental conditions.
C. They have to bear consequences they are not responsible for.
D. They are unaware of the potential risks they are confronting.
11. What urgent action must be taken to realise the Paris climate agreement？
A. Encouraging high-emitting nations to take the initiative.
B. Calling on all the nations concerned to make joint efforts.
C. Pushing the current world leaders to come to a consensus.
D. Putting in effect the policies in the agreement at once.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】巴黎协议旨在削减温室气体排放，控制全球变暖。作者在肯定巴黎协议的同时，指出巴黎协议对那些climate-vulnerable（容易受气候影响的）国家不公平。作者用对比的手法论证了自己的观点。
8. 推理判断题。在第三段中，作者提到：a few countries are benefiting enormously from the consumption of fossil fuels, while at the same time contributing disproportionately to the global burden of climate change少数发达国家在碳排放方面责任最大，但是因气候变化而付出的代价却较小，几乎不需要为它们所引发的问题负责。在第四段中，作者提到：suffering from the climate change impacts despite having scarcely contributed to the problem. Many of the world’s most climate vulnerable countries … produce a very small quantity of emissions一些气候容易受影响的国家在碳排放方面责任很小，但却遭受着气候变化产生的影响。第七段提到：However, the agreement specifies that there is no formal distinction between developed and developing nations in their responsibility to cut emissions, effectively ignoring historical emissions根据伦敦协议，不管是发达国家还是发展中国家都要承担同等的责任来削减碳的排放。很明显，这项协议对于气候脆弱国家来说不公平，因此作者对这项协议持批评态度，与第二段中的“we reveal just how deep this injustice runs”相呼应，故A选项正确。
9. 细节理解题。由第三段中的“Developed nations such as Australia，the United States．．．causing the majority of the problems through high greenhouse gas emissions，while incurring few of the costs such as climate change’s impact on food and water”可知，
少数发达国家在碳排放方面责任最大，但是因气候变化而付出的代价却较小。下一句“In other words, a few countries are benefiting enormously from the consumption of fossil fuels, while at the same time contributing disproport ionately to the global burden of climate change”提到，一些国家因消费矿物燃
料而受益，却对气候变化带来的问题没有负相应的责任，这与搭便车者相似，受益而不付出什么代价。结合选项，作者之所以将一些发达国家比作免费搭便车者实际是指这些国家几乎不需要为它们所引发的问题负责。故C选项正确。
10. 细节理解题。第四段中的“On the flip side, there are many “forced riders”, who are suffering from the climate change impacts despite having scarcely contributed to the problem. Many of the world’s most climate vulnerable countries…produce a very small quantity of emissions” 提出：一些气候容易受影响的国家在碳排放方面责任很小，但却遭受着气候变化产生的影响。这就好比“forced riders”，本身并没有引发问题，却承受着问题产生的后果。故结合选项，C选项正确。
11. 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“There must urgently be a meaningful mobilisation of the policies outlined in the agreement if we are to achieve national emissions reductions while helping the most vulnerable countries adapt to climate change”可知，如果我们想实现温室气体排放减少这个目标，实现巴黎协议，那么，巴黎协议的政策必须马上被实施。故结合选项，D选项正确。
D
Teenagers at risk of depression, anxiety and suicide often wear their troubles like a neon （霓虹灯） sign. Their risky behaviors-drinking too much alcohol, using illegal drugs, smoking cigarettes and skipping school-can alert parents and teachers that serious problems arc brewing.
But a new study finds that there’s another group of adolescents who are in nearly as much danger of experiencing the same psychiatric symptoms：teens who use tons of media, don’t get enough sleep and have a sedentary （不爱活动的） lifestyle.
Of course, that may sound like a description of every teenager on the planet. But the study warns that it is teenagers who engage in all three of these practices in the extreme who are truly in
jeopardy. Because their behaviors are not usually seen as a red flag, these young people have been called the “invisible risk” group by the study’s authors.
“In some ways they’re at greater risk of falling through the cracks,” says researcher Vladimir Carli. “While m ost parents, teachers and clinicians would react to an adolescent using drugs or getting drunk, they may easily overlook teenagers who are engaging in inconspicuous （不显眼的）behaviors.”
The study’s authors surveyed 12,395 students and analyzed nine risk beha viors, including excessive alcohol use, illegal drug use, heavy smoking, high media use and truancy （逃学）. Their aim was to determine the relationship between these risk behaviors and mental health issues in teenagers.
About 58% of the students demonstrated none or few of the risk behaviors. Some 13% scored high on all nine of the risk behaviors. And 29%, the “invisible risk” group, scored high on three in particular：They spent five hours a day or more on electronic devices. They slept six hours a night or l ess. And they neglected “other healthy activities.”
The group that scored high on all nine of the risk behaviors was most likely to show symptoms of depression; in all, nearly 15% of this group reported being depressed, compared with just 4% of the low-ris k group. But the invisible group wasn’t far behind the high-risk set, with more than 13% of them exhibiting depression.
The findings caught Carli off guard. “We were very surprised,” he says. “The high-risk group and low-risk group are obvious. But this third group was not only unexpected, it was so distinct and so large-nearly one third of our sample-that it became a key finding of the study.”
Carli says that one of the most significant things about his study is that it provides new early-warning signs for parents, teachers and mental health-care providers. And early identification, support and treatment for mental health issues, he says, are the best ways to keep them from turning into full-blown disorders.
12. What does the author mean by saying “Teenager s at risk of depression, anxiety and suicide often wear their troubles like a neon sign” （Lines 1 - 2, Para. 1）？
A. Mental problems can now be found in large numbers of teenagers.
B. Teenagers’ mental problems are getting more and more attention.
C. Teenag ers’ mental problems are often too conspicuous not to be observed.
D. Depression and anxiety are the most common symptoms of mental problems.
13. Why do the researchers refer to teens who use tons of media, don’t get enough sleep and have
a sedentary lifes tyle as the “invisible risk” group？
A. Their behaviors can be an invisible threat to society.
B. Their behaviors do not constitute a warning signal.
C. Their behaviors do not tend towards mental problems.
D. Their behaviors can be found in almost all teenagers on earth.
14. What does the new study find about the invisible group？
A. They are almost as liable to depression as the high-risk group.
B. They suffer from depression without showing any symptoms.
C. They do not often demonstrate risky behaviors as their peers.
D. They do not attract the media attention the high-risk group does.
15. What is the significance of Vladimir Carli’s study？
A. It offers a new treatment for psychological problems among teenagers.
B. It provides new early-warning signals for identifying teens in trouble.
C. It may have found an ideal way to handle teenagers with behavioral problems.
D. It sheds new light on how unhealthy behaviors activate mental health problems.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】文章介绍了一个群体：“无形风险”群体。沉迷于手机、电视等媒体，睡眠不足，不爱活动。以这样的生活方式生活的青少年被称为“无形风险”群体。这个群体的青少年和那些危险行为明显的学生患心理疾病的风险一样高。
12. 句意理解题。由第一段中的“Their risky behaviors-drinking too much alcohol, using illegal drugs, smoking cigarettes and skipping school-can alert parents and teachers that serious problems arc brewing“可知，青少年的一些危险举动—酗酒、使用非法药物、抽烟、逃学—能引起家长和老师的警觉：严重问题正在形成。由此可知，划线句子的意思应为“青少年的心理问题如霓虹灯广告牌一样显而易见”。故结合选项，C选项正确。
13. 细节理解题。第三段最后一句“Because their behaviors are not usually seen as a red flag, these young people have been dubbed the “invisible risk” group by the study’s authors”，其中a red flag意为“危险的信号”，由此可知，因为他们的行为没有被看作是危险的信号，所以这些年轻人被归为“无形风险”群体。结合选项，B选项正确。
14. 细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的“The group that scored high on all nine of the risk behaviors was most likely to show symptoms of depression; in all, nearly 15% of this group reported being depressed, compared with just 4% of the low-risk group. But the invisible group wasn’t far behind the high-risk set, with more than 13% of them exhibiting depression. ”可知，具有较高危险行为的学生
群体患抑郁症的比例为15%，而这些“无形风险”群体的比例为13%，结合选项可知：这些危险行为不明显的学生几乎与危险行为明显的学生患抑郁症的几乎一样多。故A选项正确。
15. 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Carli says that one of the most significant things about his study is that it provides new early-warning signs for parents, teachers and mental health-care providers”可知，这个研究可以为家长、老师鉴别青少年的行为提供新的早期警告信号。故B选项正确。
