[能力提升题]

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

(2022·湖州期中)Christy and Ted Wilson set aside time every Sunday evening to go over their shared to-do list.Most of the items are tasks like scheduling doctor appointments and organizing play dates for their three young children.

In every relationship, there’s a question of who is pulling their weight around the house.Now that a majority of married-couple families have two working parents, the old“rough day at the office”excuse doesn’t really cut it. 

Women still handle more of the household activities, but men increasingly are spending time on food preparation and cleanup.To keep things fair or at least to avoid fights, couples are turning to technology.They are using project management apps designed for the workplace to divide up and track household to-dos and reserving a portion of their date nights to compare chores.In some cases, they are even turning it into a game, setting rewards for getting things done.

The imbalance doesn’t always follow gender lines.There was a time when Mr.Wilson was in more of a“Mr.Mom”role:He was attending business school, while Mrs.Wilson was clocking long hours as a lawyer.So Mr.Wilson had more flexibility to take on more of the child-care and household-management work.The couple’s roles changed after Mr.Wilson graduated and started an e-commerce company.“We have had a lot of switching back and forth of who was in the driver’s seat in terms of household management so one person wasn’t too put upon,”she said.They began using calendars to keep the family schedules straight and sharing a to-do list in the Notes app on their phones.Each can take on chores the other dislikes.

[语篇导读]　这是一篇说明文。文章以Wilson夫妇的家庭分工为例介绍了家庭分工走向数字化,职场父母使用一些应用程序来分配和追踪家庭待办事项。

1.What does the underlined part “pulling their weight around the house” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.Sharing the burden of buying a house.

B.Taking on the household chores.

C.Running around the house to lose weight.

D.Making excuses for not doing any housework.

解析　词句猜测题。根据第二段“Now that a majority of married-couple families have two working parents, the old ‘rough day at the office’ excuse doesn’t really cut it.”以及第三段“Women still handle more of the household activities, but men increasingly are spending time on food preparation and cleanup.”可知,现在,大多数已婚家庭的父母都在工作,旧的“在办公室度过艰难的一天”的借口并不能真正解决问题,而女性仍然承担更多的家务活,但男性越来越多地花时间准备食物和打扫卫生。所以在每段关系中,都有一个该谁承担家务活的问题。可推知,画线部分所在句意为“在每段关系中,都有一个该谁承担家务活的问题”。故选B。

答案　B

2.What can we infer from the Wilsons’ example?

A.Gender plays a key role in management.

B.Couples need to switch their roles each day.

C.Understanding can help solve problems.

D.Digital apps can only handle household arguments.

解析　推理判断题。根据第四段“There was a time when Mr.Wilson was in more of a ‘Mr.Mom’ role (曾经有段时间Wilson先生充当了‘妈妈’的角色)”及“The couple’s roles changed after Mr.Wilson graduated and started an e-commerce company.‘We have had a lot of switching back and forth of who was in the driver’s seat in terms of household management so one person wasn’t too put upon,’ she said.(在Wilson先生毕业开了一家电子商务公司后,这对夫妇的角色发生了变化。她说:‘在家庭管理方面,我们经常在由谁来掌舵这个问题上来回转换,这样就不会有人受到太大的压力。’)”可知,Wilson夫妇根据彼此的工作需要灵活转换在家庭管理中充当的角色,互相理解来经营家庭。故可以从Wilson夫妇的例子中推知,理解有助于解决冲突。故选C。

答案　C

3.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Ways to finish housework

B.Advantages of the Notes app

C.A family to-do list goes digital

D.Working parents face difficulties

解析　主旨大意题。根据第三段“To keep things fair or at least to avoid fights, couples are turning to technology.(为了保持公平或者至少避免争吵,夫妻们开始求助于科技。)”以及第四段“They began using calendars to keep the family schedules straight and sharing a to-do list in the Notes app on their
