Many young Americans do not live with their families, but in apartment blocks where everyone is more or less of the same age. Young people often move away from their home into shared apartments when they leave school. They do their own cooking and cleaning and go to the family home occasionally for the weekend.
Young married couples may move to new places where most people have young children. When they have more money, they may move to another place, where the houses are bigger.
Senior citizens often do not live with their grownup children. Many live in homes for the elderly. Some live in special communities built for them, where there are no young children and the atmosphere is quiet.
其次部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
When I was 12, all I wanted was a signet (图章) ring. They were the “in” thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials (姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being “replaced”. We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything — so most of the “new” stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.
Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other giftgiving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. “You'll recognize this one,” she said, smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.
The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.
And it still fits me.
21.The underlined word “in” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.
A. fashionable B. available
C. practical D. renewable (可再生的)
答案与解析 A 由“in”所在句it seemed every girl except me had one可知,几乎每个女孩都有一个,所以“in”意为“流行的;时髦的”。A项正确。
22.When she got the ring back, the writer was about ________.
A. 13 years old B. 15 years old
C. 26 years old D. 28 years old
答案与解析 D 第一段说在作者13岁生日那天妈妈送给她一枚图章指环。第三段末句说两年后作者一家卖掉房子,举家搬走。倒数其次段首句说13年前买房子的那一家人装修房子时找到了那枚指环。13+2+13=28。D项正确。
23.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The writer's family moved several times.
B. The writer never stopped looking for her ring.
C. The writer's ring was cleaned up by the new house owner.
D. The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off.
答案与解析 A 从第四段第一句“Years passed, and a couple of moves later”可知,A项正确。从第三段“I gave up and stopped looking for it”可知,B项错误。从倒数其次段末“cleaned up by a jeweler”可知,C项错误。从第三段其次句“I took it off before bed”可知,D项错误。
24.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. My New Ring
B. Lost and Found
C. Lost and Replaced
D. An Expensive Ring
答案与解析 B 文章叙述了作者一枚图章戒指丢失15年后失而复得的故事,B项作文章标题最恰当。
B
How to Study Smarter, Not Harder
Here are some of our favorite study tips that will help any student study smarter, not harder:
Recite As You Study
Reciting — saying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section. Test yourself. This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. It will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.
Take Fuller Notes
Notes should be in your own words, brief and clear. They should be tidy and easy to read. Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read, since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.
Study the Middle
The best time to review is soon after you've learned something. You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson, so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.
Sleep on It
Study before going to bed, unless you are very tired. It's easier to remember material you've just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after you've fallen asleep.
Combine Memory and Understanding
There are two ways to remember: by memorizing and by understanding. Multiplication tables, telephone numbers, and math formulas are better learned by rote. Ideas are best learned by understanding.
The more ways you have to think about an idea, the more meaning it will have; the more meaningful the learning, the better you can remember it. Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts, and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. Never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. If you are not able to follow the thought, go back to the place where you first got confused and try again.
25.You can notice your mistakes by ________.
A. saying things out aloud
B. taking notes
C. studying the middle
D. sleeping on it
答案与解析 A 从Recite As You Study一栏最终一句中的“help you to notice your mistakes”可知,A项正确。
26.When taking notes, you should ________ to better help you with reading.
A. underline important notes
B. write notes in your own words
C. take down every detail
D. write as quickly as possible
答案与解析 B 从Take Fuller Notes一栏中“Notes should be in your own words”可知,B项正确。
27.The writer advises you to ________ as it is easier for you to remember material.
A. study after a period of activity
B. do some exercise after studying
C. study as soon as you get up
D. study before going to sleep
答案与解析 D 从Sleep on It一栏,可知,D项正确。
28.Which of the following is NOT helpful for your
understanding?
A. Thinking about an idea in different ways.
B. Relating ideas and concepts with what you already know.
C. Reading from the beginning to the end without stop.
D. Going back to what first made you confused and start again.
答案与解析 C 从最终一段第一句可知,A项有挂念;从本段其次句可知,B项有挂念;从文章最终一句可知,D项有挂念。C项为正确选项。
C
It does not have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out of your day. Every day is a new day and a fresh start to learn, grow, develop your strengths, free yourself from past regrets or hurts, and move forward older and wiser. Every day gives you a chance to reinvent (重新端详) yourself. It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life.
Each day is a new beginning and a piece of blank paper. How would you like to create your day? What would you like to paint on it? If you wake up in a negative mind, you are more likely to paint a dark picture throughout the day, and your picture will not show hope, happiness and joy.
If you take each day to think actively, and have a positive intention for how you would like to create your day, how would your life be different? What can daily positive intentions do for you? Every day you will give yourself the gift of an “attitude of gratitude (感恩)”.
Each day is a chance to look at things in a different way. You can experience each day in the beauty of the world — and the beauty of you who are in it! You find yourself changing from “I can't” to “I can”. With a focus on positive intentions, you feel you are full of power and more like a “winner” than a “loser”.
You pay more attention to the present, and will be more likely to live fully in the present each moment of each day. After all, the past is a great place to visit, but you don't want to live there! So how about starting each day taking a moment to think of a positive intention for the day?
29.The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. we should make every day a new start
B. January 1st is the most important day
C. learning is helpful in reinventing ourselves
D. we needn't change ourselves at all
答案与解析 A 每一天都是一个新的开头,每一天都给自己一个重新端详自己的机会。A项正确。
30.If you have daily positive intentions, you will ________.
A. get a positive result
B. have a busy life
C. get gifts from others
D. be a complete loser
答案与解析 A 早上起来有消极的态度,一天都不会有期望、幸福、欢快;而有乐观态度则会“full of power and more like a winner”。A项正确。
31.From the passage we can learn that ________.
A. past regrets or hurts can make you older and wiser
B. think actively and you will be a winner, not a loser
C. the present is not where you should live for ever
D. positive intentions for each day are of great help
答案与解析 D A项错在past regrets or hurts,原句为“free yourself from past regrets or hurts”;B项错在will be,原句为“more like a winner”;C项错在not,原文中说“过去”是a great place to visit,而“现在”应当“live fully”。D项正确。
