11．[標準答案] [A] desirable
[考點分析] 上下文語義和形容詞
[選項分析] 該空填的是形容詞，用來修飾前面的名詞place,并且在意義上也是對后面like growth in wages or population的解釋，可以看出來應(yīng)該是填褒義詞，并且能修飾place.所以只有[A]desirable合適的 符合文章。[B]social 社交的 [C]reputable 受尊敬的 [D]reliable 可依靠的。
12. [標準答案] [B]held

[考點分析] 上下文邏輯關(guān)系以及動詞詞組辨析
[選項分析]該空是一個which引導(dǎo)的定語從句的謂語動詞所在地，動詞的賓語就是前面的主句，強調(diào)“幸福與投資之間的關(guān)系尤其適用于新公司”這一結(jié)論與后面“所做決定會偏草率”之間的關(guān)系，能看出是一個因果關(guān)系，因此答案選擇[A]attribute 與to 搭配表示“歸因于……”，而[B]assign to表示“指派”[C]transfer to“轉(zhuǎn)移到”[D]compare to“與……比較”均不符合題意。
14．[標準答案] [D] experienced

15. [標準答案] [C] also
[考點分析] 上下文邏輯關(guān)系以及副詞詞義辨析
[選項分析]前面說到了“年輕的新經(jīng)理決策時更容易受情緒影響�！迸c后面的“這種關(guān)系在員工幸福指數(shù)_____的公司尤為明顯。公司似乎樂于投資那些相對快樂的員工所在的部門，而不是那些不快樂的部門�！敝g很明顯是一種遞進關(guān)系，所以只有[C]also合適。
16. [標準答案] [D]equally
[考點分析] 上下文語義及副詞詞義辨析
[選項分析] 這題是考察副詞修飾spread, 但是更要注意的是該句“這種關(guān)系在員工幸福指數(shù)_____的公司尤為明顯。公司似乎樂于投資那些相對快樂的員工所在的部門，而不是那些不快樂的部門醫(yī)學全.在.線.提供. m.payment-defi.com�！敝性摽张c后面的inequality形成復(fù)現(xiàn)關(guān)系，所以很容易判斷出答案選擇[D]equally。
17. [標準答案] [C] while
[考點分析] 上下文邏輯關(guān)系
[選項分析] 該題是典型的考察上下文邏輯關(guān)系的題目，因此著力點應(yīng)該放在上一段和這一段之間的關(guān)系。這一段第一句明確說出“這并不證明是幸福導(dǎo)致公司大量投資……”，所以兩句話之間是一個轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，選擇while.
18. [標準答案] [C]hints
[考點分析] 上下文語義及動詞詞義辨析
[選項分析] 該題可以看出是考察動詞與at的固定搭配，arrive at是“到達，抵達”，jump at是“撲向；欣然接受”hint at是“暗示” strike at是“襲擊，攻擊”，文章中的at least 和that possibility論證了這是一種可能，只有hint at有這層含義。
19. [標準答案] [A]shape
[考點分析] 上下文語義及動詞詞義辨析 reshape 重塑
[選項分析] 根據(jù)上下文應(yīng)該選一個“影響”未來看法含義的動詞，[B]是“再發(fā)現(xiàn)”[C]是“使簡化，使單純”[D]是“分享”所以可以均可以排除，A 是“塑造，形成，影響”，所以A項是最佳答案。
20. [標準答案] [B]lean towards
[選項分析] 上下文語義及動詞詞組詞義辨析
[考點分析] 本空考察動詞詞組，且該詞組詞義應(yīng)與and前面意思保持一致，且作用對象為研發(fā)。[A]pray for 祈禱 [B]lean towards 傾向 [C]give away 放棄，泄露 [D]send out 放出，給予。只有[B]選項能表達一種遞進含義。
【全文翻譯】
快樂的人工作起來會有不同。他們更多產(chǎn)，更有創(chuàng)造力，也更愿意去冒險。近期的一項研究表明快樂也可能會影響公司的工作。
根據(jù)近期的研究報告，在各地的公司里，擁有更多快樂的員工會投入的更多。尤其是那些在快樂氛圍中的公司會做更多的研發(fā)以及發(fā)展。因為快樂與對未來投資有必要的長遠考慮相聯(lián)系。這是因為對未來進行投資需要作出長遠決策，而這種決策與快樂相關(guān)。
研究者希望了解樂觀精神和隨快樂而來的冒險精神是否會改變公司投資的方式。因此，他們把蓋洛普咨詢公司所評估出的美國城市平均幸福指數(shù)與該地區(qū)的上市公司投資活躍度進行對比。
足以肯定的是，公司投資和研發(fā)力度與公司總部所在地的幸福指數(shù)相關(guān)。但是幸福真的與投資相關(guān)嗎？或者說幸福指數(shù)更高的城市的其他方面能夠說明公司為何加大研發(fā)投入。為了弄清這一點，研究者掌握了多種可能促使公司投資的因素，例如規(guī)模，產(chǎn)業(yè)，銷售，也掌握了各種指標，如適宜居住地，工資漲幅及人口變化。了解這些問題后，幸福與投資的關(guān)系就能夠輕松得出了。
幸福與投資之間的關(guān)系尤其適用于新公司，這是因為新公司所做決定會偏草率，而且年輕的新經(jīng)理決策時更容易受情緒影響。同樣，這種關(guān)系在員工幸福指數(shù)相同的公司尤為明顯。公司似乎樂于投資那些相對快樂的員工所在的部門，而不是那些不快樂的部門。
然而這并不證明是幸福導(dǎo)致公司大量投資，或者從長遠的角度來講，研究人員認為至少它預(yù)示著這種可能性。不難想象，本地文化以及情感有助于影響高管對于未來的看法。“快樂的人比普通人有預(yù)見性、創(chuàng)造力、更善于研發(fā)這種說法似乎更可信�！币晃谎芯空哒f。
