Happy hours are not necessarily happy nor do they last for an hour, but they have become a part of the ritual (例行公事) of the office worker and businessman. On weekdays in pubs and bars throughout America, there is the late afternoon happy hour. The time may vary from place to place, but usually it is held from four to seven. After the workday is finished, office workers in larger cities and small towns take a relaxing pause and head off for the nearest bar or pub to be with friends, co-workers and colleagues. Within minutes the pub is filled to capacity with businessmen and secretaries, payroll clerks and stock executives. They gather around the bar and gossip about the intrigues(勾心斗角) of office life or matters more personal. This is their oasis (避风港);the place to free themselves from the day's stress at the office. 单选题 2/5 What are the usual times for a happy hour? A From 5p.m. to 8p.m. BFrom4p.m. to 7p.m. CFrom6p.m. until 9p.m

题目解答

答案

根据文章内容，happy hour 的时间可能因地点而异，但通常是在下午四点到七点之间。文章中明确提到：“The time may vary from place to place, but usually it is held from four to seven.” 因此，正确答案是： B From 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

解析

本题考查对文章细节信息的提取能力。解题思路是在文章中找到与“happy hour”时间相关的描述，然后将选项内容与之进行对比，从而确定正确答案。

  • 首先，在文章中定位到关键语句 “The time may vary from place to place, but usually it is held from four to seven.”，这表明“happy hour”的时间通常是从下午四点到七点。
  • 接着，分析各个选项：
    • 选项A：“From 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.”，与文章中提到的通常时间不符。
    • 选项B：“From 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.”，与文章中描述的通常时间一致。
    • 选项C：“From 6 p.m. until 9 p.m”，也与文章中提到的通常时间不相符。
