【分析】
本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍丹麦成为世界上最幸福国家的几种原因。
1 .下一句 “Rather than buying the fanciest cars or the most expensive houses, Danish people spend money on leisure activities such as hobbies, outings with friends, or games.” 丹麦人把钱花在休闲活动上,如业余爱好、与朋友外出或游戏,而不是买最豪华的汽车或最昂贵的房子。正是对 E 选项的描述, “Instead, they view money as a kind of means to connect with other people.” 相反,他们认为钱是一种与他人联系的方式。 E 选项切题。
2 .本段的主题愉快的工作环境,因此本段都是描述和工作相关的, D 选项 “Danes have lower unemployment rates than most countries in the world .” 丹麦的失业率比世界上大多数国家都低,符合本段主题思想, D 选项切题。
3 .本段主要讲述丹麦邻居之间互相信任和互相帮助,而且最后一句 “94% of Danes report that they have somebody they could rely on in time of need.” 报告说, 94% 的丹麦人,他们有可以在需要时依靠的人。其中 rely on 同 A 选项 lean on 相呼应,故 A 选项切题。
4 .前一句 “Like bicycling, many of these measures also have other benefits.” 像骑自行车一样,这些措施也有其他的好处。而 F 选项描述的是在城市骑自行车的好处, “Cities where bicycling is common have less traffic, less noise, and healthier citizens.” 在那些普遍使用自行车的城市,交通更少,噪音更少,市民更健康。故 F 选项切题。
5 .最后一段是对文章进行总结, G 选项 “Look over all these factors , it becomes apparent that almost anybody would love living in Denmark” 纵观所有这些因素,很明显几乎每个人都喜欢住在丹麦。且呼应主题。故 G 选项切题。
