Ⅰ.阅读理解 A “Keep your eyes open.This is where the Ewoks (伊沃克人) live.” The one­hour drive outside of San Francisco，covered in clouds along windy roads，has inspired my husband to say this sentence at least a dozen times. We finally arrive at Muir Woods National Park.I explain the strange green stuff on trunks of trees as we pass by moss (苔藓)，something my 5­year­old son Cole has never seen in the desert where we live. “Mom，are Ewoks real? I think they maybe aren't real.” There's a question in Cole's voice，like he's trying on this idea. We've been down the road of pretending versus reality before，what with all the talk of superheroes and such around our house.“I think you are right.Ewoks are just in the movies.But it would be cool if they were real，right? ” Cole's silent for a while，thinking.“I just saw an Ewok's ear back there！” Cole spotted an additional Ewok arm and one full body of the tiny hairy creatures.It does indeed look like we are in the Ewok forest of Star Wars. Cole's imagination is more than I can understand.What do plants eat? Which is the best planet? Which rocks float? He loves life.He loves his inner world and outer existence equally. I hear a lot of worry from parents about media sucking the souls from our children，taking away their time for creative play.For us，this hasn't been the case.Cole and his brother are quite knowledgeable in the realities of life when it comes to Angry Birds，Curious George，and the adventures of Indiana Jones.These characters，and others of their own invention，live in my home like visitors，joining us on walks and outings.I appreciate them，though not all the time，for the company they give my sons and their busy minds. I think of media characters as an add­on to already busy minds，and they become part of the parenting team.They teach loyalty，curiosity...—lessons I'm trying to convey，but in a much cooler way than I can.

To some degree，multi­generational households have always been a part of American life.However，the number of young adults who have been moving back in with their parents—or never leaving home in the first place—has been growing steadily. UBS Financial Services released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesn't want them to leave. The report shows that 74 percent of millennials (千禧一代) get some kind of financial support from their parents after college.It finds that millennials have redefined the ties that connect parents and children.Millennials see their parents as peers (同龄人)，friends and instructors.Nearly three quarters talked with their parents more than once a week during college.In return，their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood，helping fund everything for them. Stuart Hoffman，chief economist for the PNC Financial Group in the US，said the number of young adults striking out on their own fell during the Great Recession.Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved，it doesn't necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest.He said，“They may like living at home and being able to save money.” “There's no doubt that it has held back household formation and purchases of things people spend money on related to household formation and perhaps related to child­raising，” Hoffman explained.“But they are probably traveling more and eating out more if they don't have a house expense or marriage.I don't know if it represents a change in moral values.But it's much more common for adult children to live in their parents' homes because it's becoming part of the culture.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。在西方的传统观念中，成年意味着要离开父母，独立生活。然而，现在越来越多的西方年轻人倾向于与父母同住。 5．What can be learned about Caitlin Hipp? A．She is in her thirties. B．She is ambitious for her career. C．She can barely make ends meet. D．She prefers living with her parents. 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But through working as a．..to live anywhere other than home.”可知，通过做兼职，希普并不能赚取足够的钱来独立生活，所以她很难维持生计。 答案　C 6．What's the reason for young adults' living at home according to UBS Financial Services? A．The lack of job opportunity. B．Their parents' need for them. C．The high pressure from modern life. D．Their parents' overprotection of them. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“one reason for the...their family doesn't want them to leave”可知，据瑞银金融服务公司发布的报告显示，越来越多的年轻人住在家里的一个原因是他们的父母不想让他们离开，即他们的父母需要他们。 答案　B 7．What does Hoffman think of young adults' living at home? A．It will never go out of fashion. B．It may allow more travel chances. C．It results from the change in moral values. D．It goes against America's cultural development. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But they are probably...have a house expense or marriage.”可知，在霍夫曼看来，年轻人住在家里可能会使他们拥有更多的旅游机会。 答案　B 8．What is the author's purpose of writing this passage? A．To introduce different types of living arrangements. B．To stress the importance of financial independence. C．To inform people of a social phenomenon in the US. D．To explain why American young adults still live at home. 解析　写作意图题。纵观全文可知，本文介绍了在美国，越来越多的年轻人倾向于与父母同住的社会现象。 答案　C Ⅱ.七选五 In the most basic sense，self­regulation(自我调节)involves controlling one's behavior and thoughts in pursuit(追求)of long­term goals.Generally，people who are good at self­regulation tend to see the good in others and view challenges as opportunities.They exactly know what they want to achieve，act in accordance with their views，and devote their best effort. 1 2 A bad­tempered child who hits others will be tiresome at school.An adult with poor self­regulation skills may lack self­confidence.He may have difficulty handling stress，and often，this might be expressed in the form of anger and anxiety. How do problems with self­regulation develop? It could start early when a baby isn't treated with enough care. 3 Later，an adult may struggle with self­regulation，either because this ability wasn't developed during childhood，or because of a lack of skill in managing difficult feelings.When left unchecked，over time this could lead to risky behavior such as taking drugs. 4 One of the most frequently used methods is to change your thought patterns，which means that you think about a situation in a positive way，rather than one that's likely to increase negative emotions. 5 Rather than thinking that this reflects something about yourself such as “my friend hates me”，you might instead think，“my friend must be really busy”． A．Try to cheer yourself up after disappointment. B．Do the usual series of things at a particular time. C．A child who doesn't feel safe may have trouble self­regulating. D．A lack of self­regulation will cause problems in life. E．Anyhow，self­regulation is so important that we should learn to use this skill. F．For example，imagine a friend who doesn't return your calls or texts for several days. G．Also they can calm themselves when feeling upset and cheer themselves when feeling down. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自我调节在人的成长中的重要性，自我调节可以帮助我们缓解压力，缺乏自我调节能力则会导致各种各样的问题，所以我们必须要学会自我调节。 1．G　细节句。上文They exactly know...说的是自我调节的好处，分析选项可知G项也是在说自我调节的好处，与上文是递进关系，选项中的Also they can为提示词。故选G。 2．D　主旨句。设空处位于该段段首，根据后文中的tiresome，lack self­confidence以及have difficulty...可知该段讲了缺乏自我调节能力，就会产生不好的影响。D项“缺乏自我调节会在生活中造成问题。”总结了此段内容，同时引出下文。 3．C　细节句。根据本段第一句可知，该段主要讲述自我调节问题的产生原因。设空处前提到baby，空后一句提到adult，故此空应该讲child。C项“一个没有安全感的孩子可能在自我调节方面有困难。”符合语境。 4．E　过渡句。设空处与前后文构成的结构为：缺乏自我调节能力会导致危险的行为→ 4 →其中最常用的一个方法是改变你的思维模式。设空处承上启下，E项“无论如何，自我调节是如此重要，我们应该学会使用这种技能。”符合语境。E项中的Anyhow是对上文的总结，skill与下文中的methods呼应。 5．F　细节句。根据下文Rather than...“my friend must be really busy”可知，当好几天都没有收到朋友回复的电话和短信时，不要想朋友讨厌自己，而应该想朋友一定很忙。此处是在举例，列举了有关朋友的例子，F项符合语境。 Ⅲ.语法填空 Did you grow up in one culture，your parents came from another，and you are now living in a 1. (total) different country？If so，then you are a third­culture kid. The term “third­culture kid” 2. (use) in the 1960s for the first time by Dr.Ruth.She first came across this phenomenon while 3. (research) North American children living in India.In general，third­culture kids benefit 4. their intercultural experience and they often reach excellent academic results. Yet many 5. (difficulty) may arise from this phenomenon.Third­culture kids may not be able to adapt 6. (they) completely to their new surroundings.Also，they often find it hard 7.

[语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“第三文化孩子”这一概念，以及这种跨文化经历给孩子带来的优势和弊端。 1．totally　考查副词。句意： 你是不是在一种文化中长大，你的父母来自另一种文化，而你现在生活在一个完全不同的国家？ 空格后different意为“不同的”，形容词词性，前面应用副词修饰，total意为“完全的”，形容词词性，对应的副词形式为totally，意为“完全，全部地”。故填totally。 2．was used　考查时态和语态。根据句中in the 1960s可知，句子描述的是过去发生的事，应用一般过去时，句中The term “third­culture kid”和use之间为动宾关系，故应用一般过去时的被动语态，句子主语The term “third­culture kid”为单个术语，与was连用，use的过去分词为used。故填was used。 3．researching　考查省略句。句意： 她在研究居住在印度的北美儿童时第一次遇到这种现象。空格处为while引导的时间状语从句，从句主语和主句主语一致，且从句谓语中包含be动词，故省略从句中的主语和be动词，还原之后的句子为“while she was researching North American children living in India”，句子主语she与research之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故应用research的现在分词researching。故填researching。 4．from　考查固定短语。句意： 一般来说，第三文化的孩子从他们的跨文化经验中受益，他们通常会取得优异的学习成绩。句中涉及固定短语“benefit from”，意为“从……中获益”。故填from。 5．difficulties　考查名词。句意： 然而，这一现象可能带来许多困难。句中many意为“许多的”，形容词词性，后接可数名词复数形式，difficulty意为“困难”，为可数名词，复数形式为difficulties。故填difficulties。 6．themselves　考查固定短语。句意： 第三文化的孩子可能无法完全适应他们的新环境。句中涉及固定短语“adapt oneself to...”，意为“使自己适应或习惯于……”，they的反身代词为themselves。故填themselves。 7．to develop　考查非谓语动词。句意： 而且，他们经常发现很难发展新的友谊。句中涉及固定句型“find it hard to do sth”，意为“发现做某事很难”，句中it为形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式结构，develop意为“发展”，动词词性，不定式符号to后接动词原形。故填to develop。 8．easier　考查形容词比较级。句意： 此外，对于第三文化的孩子来说，移居到一个新的国家比回到自己的祖国容易得多。根据句意和句中关键词than可知，句中把“移居到一个新的国家”和“回到自己的祖国”进行对比，应用比较级，easy意为“容易的”，形容词词性，比较级为easier。故填easier。 9．where　考查定语从句。句意： 例如，在澳大利亚生活多年后，Louis终于回到了她出生的国家。根据句意和句子结构可知，句子为定语从句，先行词为country，关系词在从句中作地点状语，故应用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。 10．or　考查连词。句意： 她对当前的电视节目和时尚潮流一无所知。根据句中didn't可知，句子为否定句，句中TV shows和fashion trends为并列关系，即对当前的电视节目“和”时尚潮流一无所知，否定句中应用连词or连接并列成分。故填or。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
