    The Sandwich Generation
    Today people often look forward to their middle age as a time when they will be able to take things easier. After their children are grown,they expect to enjoy the life they have worked hard to create .However,the reality is often very different. In middle age,many people discover that they have two ongoing responsibilities:one is to look after their aging parents,and the other is to help their young adult children deal with the pressures of life.Around the world,there are mil-lions of people who are“sandwiched”in between the older and the younger generations.Some-times there may be two or three generations living in the same household-a situation that is corn-mon in many Asian countries and in some parts of Europe .In other cases,a couple may be taking care of parents and children,but they do not live with them.
    There are two important reasons for the rise of the sandwich generation.First,people are liv-ing longer than they used to.In the early nineteenth century,the average life expectancy for adults in the United States,for example,was about 40,whereas today people live to an average age of 75 .Therefore,children are taking care of their parents over a longer period of time.The see-ond reason is that these days,young adults often live with their parents for a longer time than they did in the past. This is often for financial reasons.It's also more common for today's young adults to return home during or after college if they need financial or emotional support.
    Young adults feel sandwiched between their financial responsibilities and their desire to enjoy life .They may have to cover expenses that their parents cannot.They may have to manage their parents' financial and legal affairs.They may have to prepare for their parents' future needs,such as special medical care or a move to a nursing home. This can be a traumatic(长期困扰的)ex-perience for everyone.
    Caring for adult children presents challenges as well,and caregivers have to resolve important questions:How can financial responsibilities be shared among members of the household?How can household chores be shared?What is the best way to ensure everyone's privacy?Successfully cop-ing with these issues can avoid a lot of stress for the whole family.
    The financial and emotional pressures on the sandwich generation can be overwhelming. However,this time in life also has its rewards.It can be a time to rediscover the special qualities of one's parents or children.It can also provide a valuable opportunity to spend more time with them. However,in order to survive this difficult period in their lives,the members of the sand-wich generation must remember that they also need to pay attention to their own needs and look af-ter the quality of their own lives.They can't be totally selfless.

    The sandwich generation face the following challenges EXCEPT_____.
    A: sharing household chores
    B: ensuring everyone's privacy
    C: determining who is the caregiver of the family
    D:.shouldering the financial responsibilities of the household

    答案:C
    解析:
    由第一段第二、三句“After their children are grown , they expect to enjoy the life they have worked hard to create. However , the reality is often very different.”可知以此推断,很多中年人不能如愿地享受生活。故选B。


    由第一段第四句“In middle age , many people discover that they have two ongoing re-sponsibilities:one is to look after their aging parents,and the other is to help their young adult children deal with the pressures of life.”及第五句“Around the world , there are mil-lions of people who are'sandwiched'in between the older and the younger generations.”可知,中年人在对父母和对孩子的责任中左右为难。故选B。


    由第二段最后三句“The second reason is that these days , young adults often live with their parents for a longer time than they did in the past.This is often for financial reasons.It's also more common for today's young adults to return home during or after college if they need financial or emotional support.”可知,如今一些年轻人之所以会更久跟父母住在一起,是因为他们需要父母的经济或情感支持。故选A。


    由第四段中的“caregivers have to resolve important questions : How can financial respon-sibilities be shared among members of the household?How can household chores be shared? What is the best way to ensure everyone's privacy?”可知,只有(决定谁来照料家庭)不是三明治一代要考虑的问题。故选C。


    由最后一段最后两句中的“they also need to pay attention to their own needs and look after the quality of their own lives. They can't be totally selfless.”可知,要度过这个艰难的人生阶段,三明治一代需要考虑自身的幸福。故选B。

    Today people often look forward to their middle age as a time when they will be able to take things easier. After their children are grown,they expect to enjoy the life they have worked hard to create.______(46) In middle age,many people discover that they have two ongoing responsibilities:one is to look after their aging parents,and the other is to help their young adult children deal with the pressures of life.Around the world, there are millions of people who are"sandwiched"in between the older and the younger generations.
    Sometimes there may be two or three generations living in the same household-a situation that is common in many Asian countries and in some parts of Europe.In other cases,a couple may be taking care of parents and children,but they do not live with them.
    There are two important reasons for the rise of the sandwich generation.First,people are living longer than they used to.In the early nineteenth century , the average life expectancy(预期寿命)for adalts in the United States,for example,was about 40,whereas today people live to an average age of 75.______(47)The second reason is that these days,young adults often live with their parents for a longer time than they did in the past.This is often for financial reasons.It's also more common for today's young adults to return home during or after college if they need financial or emotional support.

    ______(47)
    A:Successfully coping with these issues can avoid a lot of stress for the whole family.
    B:Therefore,children are taking care of their parents over a longer period of time.

    D:Young adults feel sandwiched between their financial responsibilities and their desire to enjoy life.
    E:However,the reality is often very different.
    F:It can be a time to rediscover the special qualities of one's parents or children.

    答案:B
    解析:
    前面一句话说,孩子长大后,中年父母期望有时间享受自己努力工作创造的生活。后面一句话说,到了中年,许多人发现自己同时担负着照顾年老的父母和帮助年少的孩子处理生活的压力两项责任。联系上下文可知,此处应该是一个转折句。故选E。
    前面一句话说,在19世纪早期,美国成年人的平均寿命在40岁左右,而现在人们通常能活到75岁。联系上下文可推测出,由于人们的寿命增长了,所以孩子们照顾父母的时间变长了。故选B。
    第三段主要说的是孩子们照顾父母可能要面临的种种困难。联系上下文可知,此处应该是本段的主题句。故选C。
    第四段主要说的是父母在照顾成年孩子时面临的种种挑战。联系上下文可知,此处应该是说解决了这些问题可以减轻整个家庭的负担。故选A。
    前面一句话说,三明治一代肩上的经济和精神压力可能使他们不堪重负,但这段时间也会给他们带来回报。联系上下文可知,此处应该是三明治一代同时肩负孩子和父母负担的好的方面。故选F0

    该段录音首先指出IPCC认为至少等1000年格陵兰岛冰盖才会融化,但是Lenton’s group表示300年内该冰盖就会断裂,那时亿万人将会受到影响,从录音最后Lenton提到的“格陵兰岛冰盖断裂很快就会变得无法避免,但是我们并不认为我们已经度过了临界点”,可见该段录音主要是想提高人们的环保意识。
    【录音原文】
    The IPCC says the Greenland ice sheet will take at least l, 000 years to melt. But Lenton’s group—whose members include John Schellnhuber, the chief scientist on climate change at the recent G8 meeting in Germany—says the sheet could break up within 300 years, raising sea levels by 7 meters. This would flood hundreds of millions of people or more out of their homes. “We are close to being committed to a collapse of the Greenland ice sheet,” Lenton says. “But we don’t think we have passed the tipping point yet.”
