语篇解读:
本文是文化教育类夹叙夹议文。
作者用自身的经历指出当今美国的一个社会问题:
青少年需要父母更为具体的引导和教育,让他们知道自己将来具体想要做什么,而不是简单地告诉他们“成为你想成为的人”。
4.Whywerethefriendsconfusedaboutthewriter'sleaving?
A.Hewastiredofdriving.
B.Hesuddenlyquitschool.
C.Hewouldlosehisfriends.
D.Hewouldleadachanginglife.
解析:
选D 推理判断题。
根据文章第一段中的“Ididsomethingmyfriendsdidnotunderstand.IleftIowa,whereIhadfriendsandstability,toliveonasmallhouseboatnearSanFrancisco”可知,作者离开了艾奥瓦州,那里有他的朋友,有稳定的工作,但他去了旧金山附近的一个船屋,开始自己一种新的生活,他的朋友们对他的这种做法很不理解,故答案选D。
5.WhatdoesthewriterthinkoftheguidancehegotfromAmericansociety?
A.It'sspecific.B.It'swrong.
C.It'sgeneral.D.It'scorrect.
解析:
选C 推理判断题。
根据第二段内容,尤其是其中的“whatIneedwasconcreteadvicebutnotavagueidea”可知,作者想要的是具体的建议,故可推知他认为他得到的指导是宽泛的,故答案选C。
6.WhatdirectlycausedalotofAmericanstohavejobslowerthantheirexpectations?
A.Theirachievablegoals.
B.Thepracticalguidance.
C.Beingshockedbytherealworld.
D.Lackingprofessionalcompetence.
解析:
选D 细节理解题。
文章第三段最后一句“Manyofmyfriendshavetakenjobsaswaitersorcooksaftergraduating,orhavemovedbackinwiththeirparents”提到我的很多朋友在毕业后都当了服务生或厨师,或者搬回去跟父母住在一起,上文分析了导致这种情况的原因“Theresultofthisupbringingisthatmanyofmyclassmatesdidnotspecializeinanyparticularskill”,也就是说,父母的这种教育方式导致很多孩子没有去认真学习专业技能。
故答案选D。
7.Whichofthefollowingcanbethebesttitleforthetext?
A.Staywhereyouare
B.Bewhateveryouwanttobe
C.Blindfaithinindustrialsociety
D.Mistakenbeliefinlimitlesspossibilities
解析:
选D 标题归纳题。
文章主要阐述了作者指出当前美国的一个社会问题:
父母没有给孩子提出具体的、明确的建议,教育其孩子把钱和权力当成了生活的唯一目标,这导致很多孩子没有去认真学习专业技能,在走上社会之后受到了影响,只能去做一些很低层次的工作。
根据最后一段中的“I'mnotbuying...today'syouth”可知,作者批评了这种教育方式,并且不再相信美国社会的“无限可能”的信念。
所以答案选D。
C

语篇解读:
本文是一篇科普说明文。
据说脑力游戏可以提高记忆力和延缓大脑功能的衰退,但是研究表明,脑力游戏仅能提高玩家对游戏技巧的掌握,并不能真正阻止大脑的老化;其作用还有待证明。
8.Wecaninferfromthefirstparagraphthat________.
A.braingamesimprovethememory
B.brainagingactuallycanbequitted
C.peopledon'tbelievebraingames

选D 推理判断题。
根据第一段最后两句“Atleastthat'swhatthecompaniesbehindthisboomingindustrywouldhaveyoubelieve.Butisittrue?
”可知,这个蓬勃发展的行业背后的公司会让人相信脑力游戏可以提高记忆力和延缓大脑功能的衰退,但作者对其真实性表示怀疑,故D项正确。
9.WhatdoesEnglethinkofthefunctionsofbraingames?
A.Theyreallymakesomedifference.
B.Theireffectsstillneedproving.
C.Peopleliketobeledbythenose.
D.Peopledon'tbelievetheeffects.
解析:
选B 细节理解题。
根据第二段第二句“Peoplewouldreallylovetobelievetheycoulddosomethinglikethisandmaketheirbrainbetter,butthere'sjustnosolidevidence”可知,RandallW.Engle认为这种游戏的功能还有待证明,故B项正确。
10.TheunderlinedwordinParagraph3mostprobablymeans“________”.
A.stoppingthebrainaging
B.havingthebrainworking
C.makingthebrainmorepassive
D.speedingupthebrainaging
解析:
选A 词义猜测题。
根据第三段最后一句“Inotherwords,repeatingagameoverandoveragainteachesyouhowtoplaythegameandgetbetteratitbutyourbrainagingwon'tnecessarilycometoastop”可知,多次重复玩一个游戏,会让你更加熟练地操作游戏,但大脑老化并不能停止;结合画线词所在句可知,很多研究都表明脑力游戏不能使大脑停止老化,故A项正确。
11.Whichcanbethebesttitleofthepassage?
A.GamesStopBrainAging
B.UnavoidableBrainAging
C.Games'RolesNeedProving
D.GamesImproveYourBrain
解析:
选C 标题归纳题。
通读全文可知,本文介绍了能提高记忆力和延缓大脑功能衰退的脑力游戏,但是研究表明,这些游戏仅能提高玩家对游戏技巧掌握的能力,并不能真正阻止大脑的老化;游戏的作用还有待证明。
据此可知,C项最适合作为本文的标题。
