Passage 4(2020·全国三卷·高考真题)
With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation (孤独), more families are choosing to live together.
The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least, leads straight to his mother-in-law, she lives on the ground floor, while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.
Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol --- one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof. They share a front door and a washing machine, but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor.
"We floated the idea to my mum of sharing a house," says Kathryn Whitehead. Rita cuts in: "We spoke more with Nick because I think it's a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law."
And what does Nick think? "From my standpoint, it all seems to work very well. Would I recommend it? Yes, I think I would."
It's hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time. Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2001 to 419,000 in 2013.
Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common. Some people live with their elderly parents; many more adult children are returning to the family home, if they ever left. It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents, compared with 16% in 1991. The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.
Stories like that are more common in parts of the world where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted. In India, particularly outside cities, young women are expected to move in with their husband's family when they get married.
28. Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol?
A. Nick. B. Rita. C. Kathryn D. The daughters.
29. What is Nick's attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in-law?
A. Positive. B. Carefree. C. Tolerant. D. Unwilling.
30. What is the author's statement about multigenerational family based on?
A. Family traditions. B. Financial reports. C. Published statistics. D. Public opinions.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Lifestyles in different countries. B. Conflicts between generations.
C. A housing problem in Britain. D. A rising trend of living in the UK.

板块7 参考译文
由于年轻人无力负担搬离父母家的费用,而老年人又面临着孤立无援的风险,越来越多的家庭选择住在一起。
对尼克·布莱特来说,通往宁静的门直接通向他的岳母——她住在一楼,而他和妻子及两个女儿住在楼上。
四年前,他们都搬进了布里斯托尔一栋三层高的维多利亚式住宅——这是英国越来越多的多代同堂家庭之一。他们共用一扇前门和一台洗衣机,但丽塔·怀特黑德在一楼有自己的厨房、浴室、卧室和客厅。
"我们向我妈妈提出了合住的想法,"凯瑟琳·怀特黑德说。丽塔插话道:"我们和尼克谈得更多,因为我觉得和岳母同住对尼克来说是一件大事。"
尼克怎么看呢?"从我的角度来看,一切似乎都运转得很好。我会推荐吗?是的,我想我会的。"
很难确切地说有多少人同意他的看法,但研究表明,这一数字已经上升了一段时间。官方报告显示,三代同堂的家庭数量已从2001年的32.5万户上升到2013年的41.9万户。
其他类型的多代同堂家庭更为常见。有些人与年迈的父母同住;更多的成年子女即使曾经离开过,如今也正在回到父母家中。据说,大约20%的25至34岁的年轻人与父母同住,而1991年这一比例为16%。英国所有多代同堂家庭的总数被认为约为180万户。
在多代同堂生活方式更为根深蒂固的世界其他地区,这样的故事更为常见。在印度,特别是在城市以外地区,年轻女性在结婚后需要搬进丈夫的家中。
