6.While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged,loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face.Of all the reasons (32)that explain their loneliness,a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one.This phenomenon is commonly known as"Empty Nest Syndrome"(空巢綜合癥).
In order to seek (33)better(good) chances outside their countries,many young people have gone abroad,(34)leaving(leave) their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home.Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights,taking care of themselves,in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them.The fact (35)that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty (36)as they would have if they had not left their countries.Whatever the case,it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match (37)what they actually do.This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing timely response (38)for the needs of their aged parents.
The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents (39)has been described (describe) as"distant parent phenomenon",(40)which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries.Our society has not yet been well prepared for"Empty Nest Syndrome".
The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries.Whatever the case,it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章向我們介紹了如今父母可能面對的問題:收入的擔(dān)心以及孩子們的遠(yuǎn)離所帶來的孤獨(dú)感,收入的擔(dān)心是老年人的一個(gè)相當(dāng)普遍的問題,而很多的年輕人為了尋找更多更好的發(fā)展機(jī)會而去了國外,他們住在遠(yuǎn)離父母的地方且不知道什么時(shí)候才能回家,父母在孤獨(dú)中度過無數(shù)的日日夜夜,照顧自己,希望他們的兒女們能回來陪伴他們,作者通過這篇文章告訴我們空巢老人都很孤獨(dú),我們不應(yīng)該只是忙著自己的事業(yè),而是要多抽出點(diǎn)時(shí)間去陪伴父母.

解答 32.that    考察短語的搭配,the reason that--原因是…表示一部分或全部原因,可以是直接的也可以是間接的次要原因,這里解釋了人們感覺到孤獨(dú)的原因,因此填that.
33.better   考察比較級的用法,這句話說明很多年輕人為了尋找更好的機(jī)會而出國,根據(jù)語意可知這里應(yīng)該是更好的,故填比較級better.
34.leaving   考查現(xiàn)在分詞做方式狀語,聯(lián)系前文可知此處是在說很多人出國去尋找更多的機(jī)會而離開父母,并且不知道什么時(shí)候回來,此時(shí)表示的是一個(gè)持續(xù)的狀態(tài),他們離開了父母,因此用動詞的ing形式,故填leaving.
35.that   考察同位語從句,the fact that+客觀事實(shí),從句一般用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),表示為…這個(gè)事實(shí)…,本句表明事實(shí)上大部分的年輕人都去過歐洲或美洲,故填that.
36.a(chǎn)s   考察連接短語,as…as用于比較句型,中間插入的是形容詞或副詞的原級.意思是"達(dá)到與什么相同的程度",此處是他們出國獲得的價(jià)值與沒有離開國家所做比較,故填as.
37.what    考察what引導(dǎo)名詞性從句,這里what引導(dǎo)賓語從句,what在這里指代年輕人實(shí)際上所做的事情,故填what.
38.for    考察連詞填空,本題需要根據(jù)語意填詞,聯(lián)系上下文可知本句指的是地理和文化的距離也防止了成年的孩子為年邁父母的需要提供及時(shí)的回應(yīng),故填for.
39.has been described    考察現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),have been done現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的被動形式,且表示一種持續(xù)發(fā)生的狀態(tài),這里指成年的孩子遠(yuǎn)離父母的現(xiàn)象,因此用has been described.
40.which    考察定語從句,這里的which指的是前文的"distant parent phenomenon",在這種情況下,成年的孩子住在遠(yuǎn)離他們的年邁的父母的地方,為非限制性定語從句,故填which.

點(diǎn)評 本題主要考查了用單詞或短語的適當(dāng)形式填空.做本題的關(guān)鍵是在理解短文的基礎(chǔ)上,靈活運(yùn)用所學(xué)的基礎(chǔ)知識.本題考到的知識點(diǎn)有:固定的短語,詞類的轉(zhuǎn)換,名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式,副詞以及祈使句的用法等.因此,這就需要在平時(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)中,牢固掌握各語言點(diǎn)及一些語法知識.

1.Below is a page adapted from About Wikipedia (維基百科) on how to take full advantage of Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is a web-based,free-content encyclopedia (百科全書) in many languages.
§Exploring Wikipedia
Many visitors come to Wikipedia to acquire knowledge,while others come to share knowledge.At this very instant,dozens of articles are being improved,and new articles are also being created.Over 3,500articles have been listed by the Wikipedia community as featured articles.Another 15,000 articles are listed as good articles.Wikipedia is available in more than 280 languages including English.Its related projects include a dictionary,quotations,books,manuals,and scientific reference sources,and a news service.All of these are kept,updated,and managed by separate communities,and often include information and articles that can be hard to find through other common sources.
§Basic navigation in Wikipedia
Wikipedia articles are all linked,or cross-referenced.In every article,there are links to some related articles or Wikipedia pages with further in-depth information.Holding the mouse over a certain link will often show to where the link will lead.There are other links towards the ends of most articles,for other articles of interest,related websites and pages and so on.Some articles may also have links to dictionary definitions,audio-book readings,quotations,the same article in other languages etc.
§Using Wikipedia as a research tool
Wiki articles are never considered complete and may be continually edited and improved.Over time,this generally results in an upward trend of quality and a growing agreement over a representation of information.Users should be aware that not all articles are of encyclopedic quality from the start.Indeed,many articles start their lives as displaying a single viewpoint; and,after a long process of discussion,debate,and argument,they gradually take on a neutral point of view reached through agreement.Others may,for a while,become caught up in a heavily unbalanced viewpoint which can take some time-months perhaps-to achieve better balanced coverage of their subject.
§Wikipedia vs.paper encyclopedias
Wikipedia has advantages over traditional paper encyclopedias.Wikipedia has a very low"publishing"cost for adding or expanding entries and a low environmental impact in some respects,since it never needs to be printed.In addition,Wikipedia has wikilinks instead of in-line (內(nèi)嵌) explanations and its articles provide not only summaries but also plenty of details.Additionally,the editorial cycle is short.A paper encyclopedia stays the same until the next edition,while editors can update Wikipedia at any instant,around the clock,to help ensure that articles keep up with the most recent events.

46.We know from the passage that WikipediaC.
A.provides very accurate information
B.offers links to most leading media
C.covers rich resources of knowledge
D.comes available in any language
47.The underlined word"they"in the passage probably refers to"B".
A.users
B.a(chǎn)rticles
C.editors        
D.subjects
48.The links in Wikipedia to other resources are mainly toB.
A.provide details of the same articles
B.help the users to be better informed
C.guarantee the quality of the service
D.offer basic guidance on web research
49.The passage is presented in a way ofC.
A.discussion
B.description
C.instruction      
D.summary.

18.A.What do you think of the competition between China and the US?
B.What do you think of the image of"tiger mom?"
C.How do your daughters take the criticism about you after your book was published?
D.You said you would not get her Christmas gifts or anything when your daughter refused to repeatedly practice the music.How did your husband respond?
E.What do you think makes a good mother?
F.What does your husband think of your method of bringing up kids?

61.E
Chua's answer:Well,actually I think there are many ways of being a good mother.In my book my focus is just a memory about my own family story,me trying to raise my own children in a kind of traditional Chinese way.I make mistakes and I make fun of myself.It's amazing the way the book has been received internationally,because.I didn't intend my book to be telling other people of view and I am a proud strict"tiger mom".But I'm not trying to tell other people what are the best ways to teach or raise their children.
62.B
Chua's answer:Well,the title may sound a little frightening.Let me tell you why I chose the title.I was born in the year of the tiger.And"battle Hymn"in the United States comes from"The Battle Hymn of the Republic".The book is really about finding some sort of balance:how can we find the balance between the eastern way of parenting and the western way of parenting.In mays the book as been misunderstood maybe because of the title.
63.A
Chua's answer:I didn't write this book to have any foreign policy implications.But it's been taken into the foreign policy realm.It is of course true that there is a connection between child-raising and the future of nations.We are raising,as parents,the next generation.So I think Henry is right.We tapped into this thing of insecurity,American's fear about the rising power of china.A friend of mine told me that if the book hasd been called The Battle Hymn of an Italian Mother or The Battle Hymn of a Mexican Mother,nobody would have cared.It's really"China".you know.
64.F
Chua's answer:I don't think he opposes my idea of raising children.I'd like to think we have a combination,which is the right solution.You need a balance.From my perspective,what I give my kids is something that I thought was lacking in the US educational system.You know,they hate memorization,while in China you have too much of it.In the US,learning should be fun,a lot of games,.So I b rought hard work and disciplines.My husband and I think this is a great thing always teaching them to question the authority and to ask why.Don't accept everything just because somebody tells you.Figure it out yourself.I really think you need to combine both these qualities if you want creativity and dynamism.
65.C
Chua's answer:They both are stronger than I am.I am really proud of them.Their friends and communities supported them.At a time,I couldn't even look at the Internet because there are so many negative comments.And they would find the good ones and text them to me,saying"here's a good one mommy,hang in there."This experience has actually brought my family together.Believe it or not,not just my kids,also my parents and my three younger sisters have supported me.

16.Many little girls like flowers,watching butterflies and riding small horses.A lot of them also like cars,robots and spaceships.But most girls'clothing only has pictures of flowers,butterflies or horses.
Two mothers decided to make clothes that include all the things that little girls do and love.
Six-year-old Bella loves to play with cars.So her dress has pictures of cars on it.
"We haven't found this type of dress in the store,"Cathy,Bella's mother,says.
The car dress is from a new girl's clothing line called Princess Awesome.Rebecca Melsky set up the business.She says its products for girls have some designs normally found on boys'clothes.
It all started two years ago when Rebecca was hoping to buy clothing for her two-year-old,who liked robots,trucks and spaceships.
"One day when I walked through a girls'store,I thought to myself I wish they'd make one of those beautiful dresses that also have a robot on it because she will love that.And I thought someone should do that.Maybe I should do that,"Rebecca,said.
Her friend Eva St.Clair believed she should,and their business was born.The women sold the first 70 dresses they made at a market.So they decided to expand their business online.Their products sold very well there,too.
"They sold out so fast that I could not make them fast enough.We decided it was time to think about a factory,"Rebecca said.
So they started to raise money from people over the Internet.The women raised more than 215,000 within days,far more than the 35,000 they expected.
"Our biggest challenge is going to be how we expand as rapidly as people seem to want us to,"Rebecca said.
The women hope Princess Awesome will expand into products for girls of all ages and all interests.
21.Princess Awesome was startedD.
A.by Cathy and Rebecca
