Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities. No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents. com, 83 percent of the people say Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family. “In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’re raising children.” Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder. 1．Why was Garza’s move a success? A．It strengthened her family ties. B．It improved her living conditions. C．It enabled her to make more friends. D．It helped her know more new places. 2．What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson’s decision? A．17% expressed their support for it. B．Few people responded sympathetically. C．83% believed it had a bad influence. D．The majority thought it was a trend. 3．What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s? A．They were unsure of themselves. B．They were eager to raise more children. C．They wanted to live away from their parents. D．They had little respect for their grandparents. B （24-25高三上·全国·开学考试）A single mom living in a slum (贫民窟) asked for alimony (赡养费) during her divorce but couldn’t prove her ex’s income. Her now 24-year-old child was raised without knowing about the ex’s wealth. The ex’s higher income had been revealed later, but the statute of limitations had passed. The daughter is now writing to the court since her mother couldn’t legally argue her case. Your HonorI have been aware of my socioeconomic status for as long as I can remember. I was birthed by my Mother 24 years ago, who somebody called a ‘welfare beggar’. This wasn’t true, as my Mom has worked throughout my life but the undertone still exists. I was a confident, bright and enthusiastically ambitious child. I am a bright and ambitious adult. Somewhere along the line confidence and enthusiasm fell to the wayside. I wanted to learn everything. As a child, when expressed interest in activities, my Dad responded “I pay child support for that”. When a young woman is below the poverty line and is being under-supported by her co-parent, where is she going to find money and put her child in extra activities? How could she possibly be expected to provide any more than her child’s basic needs? I considered that I didn’t deserve “extra”. My Dad would drop me off and refer to my childhood neighborhood as the “ghetto”. Ultimately, my dad and stepmother started a new family in a nice surrounding. But I am still based in the “ghetto”. I listened to stories about how, unlike me, my future siblings would play and learn whatever they wanted. It isn’t that I wasn’t interested, I just didn’t deserve ‘extra’. My mother provided me with the best childhood she could with the means and support available to her. If my father had contributed more based on his increased income, I would have a better quality of life. This would have allowed me to access activities that would have positively affected my childhood development. Best regards! 4．What can we learn about the family’s circumstances in Paragraph 1? A．They were impacted by her father. B．They are accusing her father of underpaying. C．They are longing to improve their alimony. D．They might be at a disadvantage. 5．Why does the girl think her several aspects are disappearing? A．Her necessity was ignored by her father. B．She had been exhausted from this divorce. C．She was beyond imagination in her life path. D．Only her mother pays her daughter’s extent. 6．How was the daughter conscious of the distinction between themselves and siblings? A．Appreciation for the support provided. B．Envy for better living conditions. C．Disappointment in the lack of equality. D．Gladness with their own upbringing. 7．What change in the father’s situation would have potentially influenced the daughter’s life? A．Moving away from the neighborhood. B．Give more aid to enhance her class. C．Greater financial contributions. D．Continued minimal financial support. C （23-24高二下·四川内江·期中）When I was a little boy growing up, my Mom, Dad, brothers and I lived in my Nana’s old house. It was surrounded by four huge vegetable gardens. And around the house so many flowers were planted. It was so beautiful there in the spring and summer. That wasn’t all, though. On the back porch(门廊) Nana had dozens of potted plants hanging on hooks. She watered them, talked to them and grew them. And in the winter she would carry them all inside and set them on shelves near the windows of our enclosed front porch. There with a little water and a lot of love she kept them alive, green, and growing even during the coldest, darkest months. As a boy I was puzzled by all the effort she put into them. I understood the vegetable gardens. They helped to feed the family all winter long. I even understood the flowers around the house. They were pretty and smelled so sweet in the summer months. The reason she put so much effort into caring for those potted plants, however, eluded me. They didn’t give us any food and they rarely had any flowers on them. They remained a mystery to my child’s mind. Now as I’ve grown older I am beginning to understand why my Nana had those potted plants. It is the same reason I have so many pictures of sunrises and forests hanging in my home. They remind me during the dark, cold, winter months full of bare trees and yellow grass that light, love, and growth still exist. They remind me that Spring will come again. They remind me that God loves us and is still with us even when the earth doesn’t show it. Today I see Nana’s potted plants in a new light. They are worth every bit of the love and care she put into them. But what tells me most about light and love is Nana herself. She is light to my soul even in my darkest times. And her love lives on in my heart even if she is in Heaven. May we all learn to love as she loved, shine as she shined, and live as she lived. 8．Which of the following is close in meaning to the underlined word “eluded” in paragraph 2? A．Upset. B．Misguided. C．Confused. D．Excited. 9．Why was Nana fond of potted plants? A．They were a sign of hope. B．They looked like sunrise and forests. C．They constantly kept Nana company. D．They were movable and easy to grow. 10．What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To advocate growing potted plants. B．To sing the praise of Nana’s spirit and love. C．To stress the benefits of a positive lifestyle. D．To recall beautiful memories spent with Nana. 11．What’s the type of the passage? A．A non-fiction. B．A book review. C．An agricultural leaflet. D．A celebrity biography. D （23-24高二下·江西赣州·期末）A recent study has unveiled a heartening truth: the more we cherish moments with our grandmothers and other elderly loved ones, the longer and more fulfilling their lives can be. Being with the elderly is not just about the heartwarming stories or the secret family recipes you get to share; it’s about something even more significant. This revelation comes from a study by the University of California, San Francisco, which highlights the profound impact of companionship on the elderly’s lifespan and quality of life. The research involved 1,600 adults, averaging 71 years in age, and it discovered a distinct contrast in mortality rates (死亡率) between those who felt lonely and those who didn’t. The essence of the study’s findings is quite straightforward: as we age, the need for meaningful relationships and connections doesn’t diminish; in fact, it becomes more crucial. Lone lines s can affect anyone, but its effects are particularly severe for the elderly, making companionship not just a nice-to-have but a necessity for thriving in later years. Interestingly, while senior homes often get a bad rating, they emerge as unsung heroes. These communities offer a vital space for cultivating elderly friendships, proving to be a blessing for those whose social circles tend to shrink with age. It is like experiencing the friendship of college life all over again, but this time, it’s even more enriching because it’s about making genuine connections that enhance the quality of life. In another study, Rosemary Bliezner, a professor of human development at Virginia Tech finds that aging brings a wealth of experience that enriches friendships. Older adults know what matters and what doesn’t, making them invaluable companions who offer wisdom without the small quarrels that often destroy younger relationships. This perspective suggests that seniors could very well be the best friends you’ve never considered. So, the next time you’re looking for some one to share a meal with or just have a casual chat, think of your elderly relatives. 12．What do we know from the study? A．Growing old is challenging and highly risky. B．The elderly are easily hurt by social isolation. C．Meaningful relationships are crucial for the elderly. D．Companionship doesn’t affect the lifespan of the elderly. 13．What does the underlined word “diminish” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Disappear. B．Decline. C．Enlarge. D．Increase. 14．What can be inferred about being friends with someone older? A．It helps pass down family traditions. B．It makes the young more wealthy. C．The benefits of it are not one-sided. D．The disadvantage of it is time-consuming. 15．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Ways of raising the life quality of the elderly. B．Methods of making friends with the elderly. C．Benefits of the elderly living in senior homes. D．Impacts of companionship on the lives of the elderly. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 （23-24高二下·河北唐山·期末）Grandparents are meant for more than just spoiling (溺爱) their grandchildren.

In 1918, Grandpa worked in a shoe repair shop. He labored on the night shift so that he would be free to take care of the children in the daytime, allowing Grandma to attend school and receive an education. On the morning of her first class, Grandm a excitedly rushed to dress for school. As she excitedly took out all her old socks, Grandma became sad. She discovered all had many holes. “Forget it, dear. We have no time to repair them now,” urged Grandpa. “You’ll be late for class. And, anyway, I have a surprise for you!” A moment later, Grandpa handed Grandma her old high-button shoes. But she could hardly recognize them, as they had been repaired and looked beautiful. While she was sleeping that night, Grandpa secretly repaired the shoes. Grandma's eyes welled with tears of gratitude, “I'll look like a fine lady in these wonderful shoes!” she said. “Hurry! Put on a pair of long socks and the beautiful shoes, and no one will suspect you have honey socks. They’ll be our little secret,” Grandpa promised. Grandm a nodded and rushed out when Grandpa handed her two one-dollar bills for her tuition. Arriving at school, Grandma felt uneasy in a classroom filled with strangers. Standing ahead was a serious-looking teacher called Miss Peabody. That morning, Miss Peabody passed an empty bowl around the classroom and instructed each student to drop the fees into it. Every student did that. One student paid his fee with a bright two-dollar gold coin. After collecting all the money, the teacher placed the bowl on her desk. Later that afternoon,  when Miss Peabody counted the money, the small gold coin accidentally slipped out of the bowl and fell into Grandma’s shoe. Unaware of it, Miss Peabody discovered the coin was missing. She felt quite anxious and searched around, but in vain. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Meanwhile, Grandma felt convinced that the thing in her shoe must be the coin. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hesitant but determined, Grandma removed her shoe, feeling everyone's gaze on her honey sock. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案： 1．A 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了如今在美国家庭中，老人选择和儿孙生活在一起的趋势在不断上升，但这并不适合所有人，因为放弃现有的生活很难。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.(如今，这三代人都认为这次搬家是成功的，这让他们的关系比在不同城市时更亲密。)”可知，Garza搬家和孩子、孙辈一起生活使得他们三代人的关系更加亲密，所以这次搬家很成功。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“According to a study by grandparents. com, 83 percent of the people say Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family.

I am a bright and ambitious adult. Somewhere along the line confidence and enthusiasm fell to the wayside. (我是一个自信、聪明、雄心勃勃的孩子。我是一个聪明而雄心勃勃的成年人。在这条路上的某个地方，信心和热情都半途而废了)”，第三段中“When a young woman is below the poverty line and is being under-supported by her co-parent, where is she going to find money and put her child in extra activities? How could she possibly be expected to provide any more than her child’s basic needs?

I listened to stories about how, unlike me, my future siblings would play and learn whatever they wanted. It isn’t that I wasn’t interested, I just didn’t deserve ‘extra’. (最终，我爸爸和继母在一个美好的环境中组建了一个新家庭。但我仍然住在“贫民区”。我听了一些故事，讲的是，与我不同，我未来的兄弟姐妹会玩什么，学什么。并不是我不感兴趣，我只是不值得“额外”)”可知，母亲未能得到父亲的赡养费，对比父亲优渥的生活和他对其它子女的重视，可得出她的自信和热情消失是因为她的需求被父亲忽视了。故选A项。 6．推理判断题。由方框内第四段“Ultimately, my dad and stepmother started a new family in a nice surrounding.

(它们没有给我们任何食物，而且它们也很少开花。它们对我孩子来说仍然是个谜。)”可知，作者对于Nana费心照顾这些盆栽感到困惑，因为作者认为它们没有贡献任何食物，而且也很少开花。故划线词意思是“使困惑”，故选C。 9．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Now as I’ve grown older I am beginning to understand why my Nana had those potted plants. It is the same reason I have so many pictures of sunrises and forests hanging in my home.

They remind me that God loves us and is still with us even when the earth doesn’t show it.

They are worth every bit of the love and care she put into them. But what tells me most about light and love is Nana herself. She is light to my soul even in my darkest times. And her love lives on in my heart even if she is in Heaven. May we all learn to love as she loved, shine as she shined, and live as she lived. (今天，我以新的眼光看待奶奶的盆栽。它们值得她付出的每一点爱和关心。但最能告诉我关于光和爱的是奶奶自己。即使在我最黑暗的时候，她也是我灵魂的光。即使她身在天堂，她的爱仍在我心中。愿我们都能学会像她那样去爱，像她那样闪耀，像她那样生活。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是歌颂奶奶的精神和爱。故选B。 11．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today I see Nana’s potted plants in a new light.

(今天，我以新的眼光看待奶奶的盆栽。它们值得她付出的每一点爱和关心。但最能告诉我关于光和爱的是奶奶自己。即使在我最黑暗的时候，她也是我灵魂的光。即使她身在天堂，她的爱仍在我心中。愿我们都能学会像她那样去爱，像她那样闪耀，像她那样生活。)”以及文章主要讲述了作者小时候不理解奶奶为什么喜欢盆栽，随着年龄的增长，作者明白了盆栽是希望的象征。可推知，这篇文章是一篇关于奶奶的纪实文学作品。故选A。 12．C 13．B 14．C 15．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍研究表明，与祖母等长辈共度时光有助于延长他们充实的生活。加州大学旧金山分校的研究指出，老年人需要有意义的社交关系，孤独对其生活质量和寿命有显著影响。养老院成为培养老年友谊的重要场所，而老年人的丰富经验和智慧使他们成为理想的伙伴。 12．推理判断题。根据第二段中“This revelation comes from a study by the University of California, San Francisco, which highlights the profound impact of companionship on the elderly’s lifespan and quality of life.”（这一发现来自加州大学旧金山分校的一项研究，该研究强调了陪伴对老年人寿命和生活质量的深远影响。）以及第三段“The essence of the study’s findings is quite straightforward: as we age, the need for meaningful relationships and connections doesn’t diminish; in fact, it becomes more crucial.”（这项研究结果的本质很简单：随着年龄的增长，我们对有意义的关系和联系的需求并不会减少；事实上，它变得更加重要。）可推知，我们从这项研究中了解到的是有意义的联系对老年人来说至关重要。故选C项。 13．词句猜测题。划线词所在句“as we age, the need for meaningful relationships and connections doesn’t diminish; in fact, it becomes more crucial.”（随着年龄的增长，我们对有意义的关系和联系的需求并没有diminish；事实上，它变得更加重要。）中“in fact, it becomes more crucial.”对前文所提及的内容进行纠正，引出事实，与上文“diminish”之间有转折关系，即“我们对有意义的关系和联系的需求并没有减弱，事实上，它变得更加重要了”。故diminish与decline同义，意为“减弱，降低”。故选B项。 14．推理判断题。根据第一段中“A recent study has unveiled a heartening truth: the more we cherish moments with our grandmothers and other elderly loved ones, the longer and more fulfilling their lives can be.”（最近的一项研究揭示了一个令人振奋的事实：我们越珍惜与祖母和其他年长的亲人在一起的时光，他们的生活就会越长久、越充实。）和最后一段中“Older adults know what matters and what doesn’t, making them invaluable companions who offer wisdom without the small quarrels that often destroy younger relationships.”（老年人知道什么重要，什么不重要，这使他们成为无价的伙伴，他们提供智慧，而没有那些经常破坏年轻人关系的小争吵。）可推知，和年纪大的人交朋友的好处是双向的，不仅对老年人有好处，年轻人能从中获益。故选C项。 15．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其结合第一段中“A recent study has unveiled a heartening truth: the more we cherish moments with our grandmothers and other elderly loved ones, the longer and more fulfilling their lives can be.”（最近的一项研究揭示了一个令人振奋的事实：我们越珍惜与祖母和其他年长的亲人在一起的时光，他们的生活就会越长久、越充实。）可知，本文主要介绍了加州大学旧金山分校的一项研究结果，该研究强调了陪伴对老年人寿命和生活质量的深远影响。所以，文章主要讲的是陪伴对老年人生活的影响。故选D项。 16．G 17．C 18．A 19．D 20．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了祖父母在孙辈的生活中的重要角色，祖父母可以为孙辈提供无条件的爱。讲述家族历史支持父母，并在孩子的生活中为他们加油。 16．根据上文“From the day when your children invite you to meet their newest additions to the family, your grandchildren will steal your heart.”（从你的孩子邀请你去见他们家的新成员的那一天起，你的孙子就会偷走你的心。）由此可知，空格处应该是考虑你在这些新的小生命中的重要角色。结合选项G项“Consider the important role you play in the life of these new little ones.（想想你在这些新生的小家伙的生活中扮演的重要角色。）”符合此推断，承接上文内容，为对上文内容的语意递进，符合语境。故选G项。 17．根据上文“The most important thing grandparents can do is offer their grandchildren unconditional love, It's no secret that many grandparents adore their grandchildren.”（祖父母能做的最重要的事情就是给他们的孙辈无条件的爱，这不是什么秘密，许多祖父母都爱慕他们的孙辈。）提到祖父母都爱慕他们的孙辈。以及下文“and many will talk your ear off while showing you endless pictures.”（许多人会喋喋不休地给你看没完没了的照片。）提到关爱孙辈的具体行为。结合选项C项“Ask them about their grandchildren（问问他们孙子孙女的情况。）”可知，起到上下文的承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯，符合语境。故选C项。 18．由该题为段落小标题可知，为总结该段内容。该段下文“My kids love to hear their grandparents 'tell family stories about the past.
