The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.
3 F3 B& b: U0 |0 s: _( P, rThe index of 111 countries uses data on incomes, health, unemployment, climate, political stability, job security, gender equality as well as what the magazine calls “freedom, family and community life”.
Despite the bad weather, troubled health service, traffic congestion (拥挤), gender inequality, and the high cost of living, Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10.
That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland, which managed 8.07. Zimbabwe, troubled by political insecurity and hunger, is rated the gloomiest(最差的) , picking up only 3. 89 points.

  R- ?2 g% V# K8 x5 l0 LThe magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do, and that its findings would have their critics.
No. 2 on the list is Switzerland. The other nations in the top 10 are Norway, Luxembourg, Sweden, Australia, Iceland, Italy, Denmark and Spain.
The UK is positioned at No. 29, a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics. The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP (人均国内生产总值) after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half the league at 60th.

阅读判断解析及参考答案：</p>1.  B. 分析： 问题句说“在2005年的时间里，爱尔兰一直是最适合人类居住的地方。” 句子中的时间状语结构恰恰就是我们所说的一种可作为线索的特征结构（因为数字容易在文章中被查找到）， 我们利用2,005作为答案线索，这样在文章中找到答案相关句：Ireland is the best place in the world to live in for 2005, according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain’s Economist magazine last week.划线结构中提到的是“for 2005（对2005年而言）”， 不是问题句中说的“For 2,005 years（在2005年的时间里）”， 而且划线结构说“爱尔兰是2005年世界上最适合居住的地方” ， 显然这个内容与问题句的内容不一致， 因此判断问题句的说法错误。
. m% x* T  `+ _
2． C. 分析：问题句说“职业稳定是衡量生活质量的最不重要的标准。”利用题干中出现的核心短语“（主语）Job security/职业稳定”和“（表语）life quality/生活质量”作为答案线索，同时关注题干中出现的修饰结构“the least important/最不重要的”， 这样找到答案相关句：“没提到”。 3. A．分析：问题句说“爱尔兰的生活费用高”。 利用题干中的核心短语“（主语）Cost of living/生活费用”作为答案线索， 同时关注题干中出现的修饰结构“pretty high/相当高”，这样找到答案相关句：Despite the bad weather, troubled health service, traffic congestion (拥挤), gender inequality, and the high cost of living, Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10. 题干的核心短语和修饰结构都出现在这个句子中，因此判断这个句子很可能就是直接答案相关句，该句说“尽管气候恶劣， 健康机构混乱， 交通拥挤， 性别歧视仍然存在， 生活费用高，爱尔兰所获得的分数仍然给人留下了深刻的印象：满分为十分,爱尔兰获得了8.33分”。根据这个句子的内容可以知道“爱尔兰的生活费用高”，因此问题句的说法与原文的说法一致。
4． C. 分析：问题句说“在津巴布韦家庭生活是不稳定的”。利用题干中的核心结构“（主语）Family life/家庭生活”和特征词“Zimbabwe/津巴布韦”作为答案线索，同时关注题干中出现的修饰结构“not stable（不稳定的）”， 发现题干中的核心词Family life根本就没有在文章中出现 （文章中相关的句子：Zimbabwe, troubled by political insecurity and hunger, is rated the gloomiest(最差的) , picking up only 3. 89 points.）， 因为判断该问题句为“没提到”。
9 F5 F  l6 D+ D5． A. 分析：问题句说“爱尔兰位居第一，因为它把新时期里最理想的因素和过去的一些好的东西融合在一起。”利用题干中出现的特征词No. 1作为答案线索， 同时关注问题句中出现的修饰结构“the most desirable （elements）/最理想的” 和“some good （elements）/一些好的”， 这样找到答案相关句：
Despite the bad weather, troubled health service, traffic congestion (拥挤), gender inequality, and the high cost of living, Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10.
8 c& P7 o* ~" ], B1 w# \That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland, which managed 8.07. Zimbabwe, troubled by political insecurity and hunger, is rated the gloomiest(最差的) , picking up only 3. 89 points.
“Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued, ” the report said, “some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown(崩溃) in traditional institutions and family values in part take away form a positive impact.
; o$ a+ e3 p: _/ F“Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old, such as stable family and community life.” 在这个斜体句中直接出现了问题句中的一个修饰结构the most desirable，推测句子中“Ireland wins（爱尔兰获胜了）”可能与题干中的特征结构“爱尔兰位居第一”呼应，“certain warm”可能与题干中的另一个修饰结构“一些好的”呼应，这个句子很可能就是直接答案相关句， 该句说“爱尔兰获胜了，因为它成功地把新时期最理想的因素和对过去某些温暖的东西（如稳定的家庭和社会生活）的保护结合了起来。” 从这个句意上看“温暖的东西” 就是“好的东西”， 所以现在只需要确认“Ireland wins（爱尔兰获胜了）”就是指“爱尔兰位居第一”。 在前文中我们看到“爱尔兰获得的分数给人留下了深刻的印象”（划线句），接着看到“这使它远远高于第2名瑞士”（划线句）， 因此判断原文中说的“Ireland wins（爱尔兰获胜了）”就是指“爱尔兰位居第一”， 因此判断问题句的说法正确。
