第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The first drawings on walls appeared in caves thousands of years ago. Later the Ancient Romans and Greeks wrote their names and protest poems on buildings. Modern graffiti seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s, and by the late sixties it had reached New York. The new art form really took off in the 1970s, when people began writing their names, or “tags”, on buildings all over the city. In the mid-seventies it was sometimes hard to see out of a subway car window, because the trains were completely covered in spray paintings known as masterpieces.
In the early days, the “taggers” were part of street crowds who were concerned with marking their territory(领地). They worked in groups called “crews” and called what they did “writing” — the term “graffiti” was first used by The New York Times and the novelist Norman Mailer. Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies. But at the same time that it began to be regarded as an art form, John Lindsay, the then mayor of New York, declared the first war on graffiti. By the 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught, and instead many of the more established graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings.
The debate over whether graffiti is art or deliberate damage is still going on. Peter Vallone, a New York city councilor, thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art, but if it is on someone else’s property it becomes a crime. “I have a message for the graffiti destroyers out there,” he said recently, “and your freedom of expression ends where my property begins.” On the other hand, Felix, a member of the Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City, says that artists are reclaiming cities for the public from advertisers, and that graffiti represents freedom and makes cities livelier.
For decades graffiti has been a springboard to international fame for a few. Jean-Michel Basquiat began spraying on the street in the 1970s before becoming a respected artist in the 80s. The Frenchman Blek le Rat and the British artist Banksy have achieved international fame by producing complex works with stencils(模板), often making political or humorous points. Works by Banksy have been sold for over £ 100,000. Graffiti is now sometimes big business.
1、Why was the seventies an important decade in the history of graffiti?
A．That was when modern graffiti first became really popular.
B．That was when modern graffiti first appeared.
C．That was when graffiti first reached New York.
D．That was when graffiti first appeared on subway car windows
2、What does the underlined word “taggers” in the second paragraph mean?
A．Names of people who graffitied.
B．Building where paints were sprayed.
C．People who marked surface with graffiti.
D．People who were interested in graffiti.
3、What can we know from the third paragraph?
A．New Yorkers think graffiti is art.
B．Graffiti was accepted by officials completely.
C．Buildings can be covered with graffiti freely.
D．There were once advertisements on city surface.
4、What is the author’s final opinion about graffiti?
A．Graffiti has now become mainstream and can benefit artists.
B．Graffiti is not a good way to become a respected artist.
C．Some popular graffiti artists end up being ignored by the art world.
D．Some graffiti caused inconvenience to the local environment.

The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her parents. All she’s ever wanted to do is to become an elementary school teacher. However, Hipp has racked up(累计) $100,000 (about 0.67 million yuan) in student loan debt and isn’t able to earn enough through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server to live anywhere other than home.
To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of adults who have been moving back in with their parents or never leaving home in the first place has been growing steadily.
The Pew Research Center recently reported that 2016 was a milestone in the evolving living arrangements of young adults in the US. Until 2016, the most common living arrangement for young adults was to be living in their own property as part of a couple. UBS Financial Services, a Swiss global financial services company, released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesn’t want them to leave. The report shows that 74 percent of millennials(千禧一代) get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. Millennials see their parents as peers, friends and mentors（导师）. In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them. Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Group in the US, said “Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn’t necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest, he said. “They may like living at home and being able to save money.”
He added, “While it has held back household formation and purchases on things, they are probably traveling more and eating out more. I don’t know if it represents a change in moral values, it’s much more common for adult children to live in their parent’s homes because it’s becoming part of the culture.”
1、What’s the purpose of Caitlin Hipp’s story?
A．To prove the author’s view.
B．To introduce her situation.
C．To present the topic.
D．To make readers rethink about the problem.
2、What does the underlined part (Paragraph1) probably refer to?
A．live with parents
B．live independently
C．stay at home
D．leave home
3、According to Hoffman, which of the following is true?
A．It isn’t necessary for millennials to leave the nest.
B．They can spend less money on their daily life.
C．Moral values are changing gradually.
D．Young adults are living in a different life style.
4、What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Why is the number of the millennial growing steadily?
B．Why has the percentage of adults living with their parents been on the rise?
C．Why are parents willing to help fund for young adults?
D．Why do more adults treat their parents as peers, friends and guides?
