第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
[1]One out of many important things for the whole family to do is to have dinner together. Researchers began reporting the benefits of family dinner about a decade ago, focusing mainly on how it affects children. Studies show that those families who eat dinner at least 3 or 4 times a week together, benefit in many ways.
[2]Eating together helps families achieve open communication and build stronger and healthier relationships. Children have better grades at school and are better adjusted as teens and adults, and the entire family enjoys healthier nutrition. For many families, eating dinner together proves to be good and effective way to reduce the risk of youth rates of addiction, and helps to raise healthier children. It is also a great time to share the events of the day, discuss news and ideas and just be together and enjoy each other's company.
[3]During dinner time parents have better opportunity to show that they are the prior to their children. Sitting at the same table and sharing meals is where and when parents can find out more about their children's school performance, daily activities and attitudes toward life. When parents have all this information they can better direct their kids toward positive things in life. They also have better chance to reduce the possibility that children will get involved with alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs.
[4]However, family researchers say that the benefits of family dinner by no means can be considered as automatic. Parents can sit down to dinner with their kids every day and achieve nothing. ____________________ if there is too much arguing going on, if there is no meaningful conversation or, what is even worse, if there is just plain silence during gathering.
76. What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 8 words)
________________________________________________________________
正确答案：Families benefit from eating together./Having dinner together is beneficial to families.

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
A few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap，a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience，while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually，the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life styles. In more traditional societies，when children grow up，they are expected to live in the same area as their parents，to marry people that their parents know and approve of，and often to continue the family occupation. In our society，young people often travel great distances for their educations，move out of the family home at an early age，marry-or live with-people whom their parents have never met，and choose occupations different from those of their parents.
In our upwardly mobile society，parents often expect their children to do better than they did：to find better jobs，to make more money，and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often，however，the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. Often，they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally，the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture，elderly people are valued for their wisdom，but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds，separated by different skills and abilities.
No doubt，the generation gap will continue to be a feature of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society，and in the rapid pace at which society changes.
The main idea of the first paragraph is that______.
A. the generation gap suddenly appeared
B. the generation gap is a feature of American life
C. how people can reduce the generation gap
D. many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap
正确答案：B

Generation Gap
A few years ago,it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap,a division between young people and

complained that their parents did not understand them at all.What had gone wrong?Why had the generation
gap suddenly appeared?Actually,the generation gap has been around for a long time.Many critics argue

One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own
life styles.In more traditional societies,when children grow up,they are expected to live in the same area

D:many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap答案：B解析：由文章第一段最后一句话“Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society", 可知很多评论家认为代沟问题是美国社会的组成部分。故选B。
around的意思是“围绕；在……附近”，在文章中是指代沟问题已经存在了一段时间，故选D。
文章中提到三个原因。由第二段第一句话，可知选项A年轻人喜欢选择他们自己的生活方式是代沟形成的原囚之一。由文章第三段第一句话，可知选项C父母对子女的高期望也是代沟形成的原因之一。由文章第四段第一句话，可知选项B美国社会的快速发展是代沟形成的原因之一。故选D。

文章中没有提到代沟问题该如何解决，仅仅提到代沟形成的原因，所以可以排除A、B、 D。 C项说代沟问题在某种程度上说是由老一代造成的，是正确的。 -

The following statements are true EXCEPT_____.

［B］ a six-year-old boy may fear being deserted by his parents
［C］ as the kids grow older, they have a better understanding of divorce
［D］ a young girl may feel more shameful on parental divorce than an older boy
正确答案：D本题考查推理引申。第二段第三句提到，年长孩子对父母离异的羞愧、愤怒及自我反省心理取代了年幼孩子的困惑和恐惧心理。由此可见，年长的孩子更容易感到羞愧。［D］与事实相反。为本题的正确选项。该段第二句提到，长大的孩子更能意识到父母离异的决定不能简单归结于任何单一的原因。因此［C］正确，［A］是该句中提到的事实。第三句提到，8岁以后孩子对被抛弃的恐惧才会减少，因此可推出［B］符合事实。

第15题：
In the past, American families tended to be quite large. Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family is becoming smaller. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living.
Generally children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families longer. Moreover, children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents are usually responsible for all the expenses. And families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The break-up of the family appears when the parents' divorce.
A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Children grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved between their parents. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship.
The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs show that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining(降低). Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are.

A:on all sides
B:in every direction
C:near
D:in existence答案：D解析：文章第一段主要讲述了美国社会中所存在的代沟问题：父母抱怨孩子们不够尊敬和服从他们；孩子们抱怨父母不理解他们。实际上，该问题已经存在了很长一段时间。评论家认为代沟已经成为美国社会结构的一部分。由此可见，代沟是美国的一种特征。因此B为正确答案。
由文章第一段倒数第二句话可知，代沟问题已经存在了很长时间。around在此处意思是“存在”，与in existence（存在）意思相近。因此D为正确答案。
文章从三方面讲述了代沟形成的原因。由第二段第一句话可知，形成代沟的一个重要原因是年轻人必须选择自己的生活方式；由第三段第一句话可知，父母对孩子期望过高也是代沟形成的一个原因；由第四段第一句话可知，社会的快速变化也是导致代沟形成的原因。而文中并未提到现代教育使得孩子与父母想法不同的问题。因此D为正确答案。
由文章第三段最后一句话可知，父母和孩子会发现彼此之间几乎没有相似之处。因此D为正确答案。
文章主要讲的是美国社会中所存在的代沟问题及其形成的原因，并没有提到如何解决这一问题，因此排除A.B选项；而D项（美国社会应该避免代沟问题）文中也未提及.由文章第三段可知，父母对孩子期望过高也是形成代沟的原因。因此C为正确答案。 -

第24题：
问答题练习1 Parents in China are always trying to help their children, even to make the most important decision for them, regardless of what the children really want, because parents believe it’s all for the benefit of their children. This has led to the result that the children’s growth and education tend to give way to their parents’ wishes. Once the parents decide to sign up an after school class for their children in order to increase their chance of being admitted to a good school, they will stick on their decision, even their children have no interest in it at all. In America, however, parents tend to respect their children, especially when making decisions. Perhaps it is commendable that Chinese parents lay much importance on education, but Chinese parents still need to keep the balance between the parents and children in the perspective of education as the American parents do.正确答案： 在中国,父母总是试图帮助他们的孩子,甚至为他们做重要的决定,而不管孩子想要什么,因为父母相信这样做是为了孩子好。结果,孩子的成长和教育往往屈从于父母的愿望。一旦父母决定为他们的孩子报名参加一个课外班,以增加他们被好学校录取的机会,他们会坚持自己的决定,即使他们的孩子根本不感兴趣。然而在美国,父母往往尊重孩子的意见,尤其是在做决定的时候。也许中国父母非常重视教育是值得称赞的。但是,他们应该向美国父母学习在涉及教育时如何平衡父母与孩子之间的关系。解析：
本题考查的翻译要点有：①regardless of，即不管某种情况；②for the benefit of sb意为“为了某人好”；③give way to表示“屈从于”；④lay much importance on意为“非常重视”；⑤keep the balance between…and…意为“保持……与……之间的平衡”；⑥in the perspective of表示“在……方面，涉及……”。
