路燈經(jīng)過(guò)一夜的努力，才無(wú)愧地領(lǐng)受第一縷晨光的撫慰。以下是小編為大家搜索整理的2017年英語(yǔ)等級(jí)考試二級(jí)備考模擬訓(xùn)練題及答案，希望對(duì)正在關(guān)注的您有所幫助!更多精彩內(nèi)容請(qǐng)及時(shí)關(guān)注我們應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生考試網(wǎng)!Most of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your family and the love you share in your relationships, and I couldn’t agree more. But money comes into play in those relationships.
When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who comes up to me and says, “Suze, you are so wrong. Money isn’t the key to lifethis is!” At which point their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family.
That’s when things get interesting, because I start asking them questions: Did you take that photo with your own camera? It looks like a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family vacation? Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college?
As their answers are “yes”, I ask them how they provide all of that for their family. That’s when they understand that I had it right.
I totally agree that family and friends are of great importance to our well being; without meaningful relationships, there’s no chance of ever being truly happy. That’s why, every Saturday night, I end my CNBC show with the following words:“People first. Then money. Then things.”
How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happiness. Over the past few decades (十年), the percentage of Americans who say they’re happy hasn’t changed much, while at the same time the average income has doubled. So we have more money, but we’re not much happier on average.
A paradox (悖論)? Far from it. My sense is that while we’re making more money, we arent’t making more of the money we make. We have to pay for a lot of things, and we have to worry about saving for retirement (退休) in a way that our parents and grandparents never did. And as many of you know, it’s really hard to increase your happiness when you’ve got a lot of money worries.
Do you agree, or am I way off base? I’d love to know what do you think about the money/happiness connection.

答案與解析：
60. 選C。題干的意思為“為什么人們通常會(huì)把自己的全家福給作者看，”該題屬于細(xì)節(jié)題。
從文章意思可以得知，這些人是想反駁作者的觀點(diǎn)，證明家人是幸福的源泉。
61. 選D。題干的意思為“為什么作者問(wèn)那些人第三段的問(wèn)題?”該題屬于細(xì)節(jié)題。
作者是想證明自己的觀點(diǎn)，通過(guò)問(wèn)問(wèn)題明晰自己的觀點(diǎn)。
62. 選C。題干的意思為“以下哪句話是作者想表達(dá)的觀點(diǎn)?”該題屬于推理題。
本題沒(méi)有原文，但是作者的觀點(diǎn)非常明晰，錢(qián)在個(gè)人幸福中地位非常重要，可以改善我們的生活質(zhì)量。
63. 選A。題干的意思為“最后一段下劃線詞'off base'最可能是什么意思?”該題屬于推理題。
從文章的句意理解來(lái)看，應(yīng)該是錯(cuò)誤的意思。
參考譯文：
我們中的大多數(shù)人通常會(huì)說(shuō)家庭和家人的愛(ài)是真正使自己幸福的源泉，我也非常贊同此觀點(diǎn)，但是錢(qián)在這層關(guān)系中也非常重要。
每當(dāng)我在對(duì)人們說(shuō)起錢(qián)的時(shí)候，總會(huì)有人反駁道：“蘇斯，你錯(cuò)了，錢(qián)不是生活中最重要的因素，這個(gè)才是!”邊說(shuō)他們會(huì)打開(kāi)出錢(qián)包給我看自己的全家福。
我開(kāi)始問(wèn)他們問(wèn)題，事情就開(kāi)始變得有趣了。我的問(wèn)題是你是用自己的相機(jī)拍的照嗎?這個(gè)沙灘真漂亮，當(dāng)時(shí)你們?nèi)以诙燃賳?你希望幫這些漂亮的孩子上大學(xué)嗎?”
他們不停地點(diǎn)頭，這時(shí)我問(wèn)他們那你們拿什么支付這些花費(fèi)呢?”;這時(shí)，他們才意識(shí)到我的觀點(diǎn)是對(duì)的。
我也完全贊同家人和朋友對(duì)個(gè)人幸福來(lái)說(shuō)至關(guān)重要，沒(méi)有家人和朋友，我們永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)真正的快樂(lè)。這就是為什么每周六晚上，在CNBC節(jié)目結(jié)束時(shí)，我總會(huì)說(shuō)人第一，錢(qián)第二，事情第三。”
我們?nèi)绾位ㄥX(qián)，對(duì)于幸福也很重要。在過(guò)去的十年里，美國(guó)人的收入翻倍了，但是說(shuō)自己幸福的人卻沒(méi)有多大變化。難道在有了更多錢(qián)之后，我們沒(méi)有變得更幸福一點(diǎn)嗎?
這是一個(gè)悖論?其實(shí)并非如此。我認(rèn)為，雖然我們?cè)谫嵏嗟腻X(qián)，但我們并沒(méi)有更充分地利用這些錢(qián)。我們要支付的開(kāi)銷(xiāo)太大了，還要擔(dān)憂自己退休后的積蓄，而我們的父母和祖父母從來(lái)沒(méi)有這樣擔(dān)憂過(guò)。有了這么多好擔(dān)心的錢(qián)，增強(qiáng)的幸福感從何而來(lái)呢?
你同意嗎?或者認(rèn)為我的觀點(diǎn)大錯(cuò)特錯(cuò)?我非常想知道你對(duì)于錢(qián)和幸福之間關(guān)系的看法。
