21、Until late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of generations. Now mid-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves. That’s because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care center, our 13-year-olds in school and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes. Why?
We live away from the old for many reasons: young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears for aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it’s so hard that we stay away from the people who need us most.
Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the young.
A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit them. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. “My children have never been less lonely,” the reporter said.
The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby. She was immediately surrounded. People who hadn’t gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.
Grandparents are a special case. They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my husband put it, “my grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end.”
Grandchildren speak of attention they don’t get from worried parents. “My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down,” one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer, more trusting.
【1】Now in an American family, people can find that ________.
A. children never live with their parents
B. not all working people live with their parents
C. aged people are supported by their grandchildren
D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents
【2】The reason why old people are left alone may be that ________.
A. the old don’t like to live in a big family
B. the young can’t get enough money to support the old
C. different generations have different lifestyles
D. the old are too weak to live with the young
【3】The fact that the reporter told us shows that ________.
A. old people in America lead a hard life
B. old people in America enjoy banana bread
C. she had no time to take care of her children
D. old people are easy to get along with
【4】Seeing a baby, the old people get excited because ________.
A. they had never seen a baby before
B. the baby was clever and beautiful
C. the baby brought them the image of life
D. the baby’s mother would take care of them
22、 A family in Guelph, Ontario is spending a year living “in 1982”. They’re doing it so their kids can see what life was like before technology like iPads, computers and even coffee machines was part of everyday life.
They have stopped using all technology from their home and are relying on the things people would have used back in the 80s. There is a box at the front door where people can put their cell phones in, while they’re visiting the family.
Blair McMillan and his wife Morgan want their kids—Trey, 5, and Denton, 2—to have a year without technology.
Instead of reading e-readers, they are reading books. Instead of using a GPS, they used paper maps. The home the family is living in was built in the 1980s. Even the way they dress and style their hair is from the 80s.
The whole idea started when young Trey was called to come outside. He didn’t because he was busy playing on the ipad. That’s why his dad thought of the idea of living “in 1982” for a year. The family plans to live like “it’s 1982” until April next year. To them, one of the hardest things was giving up their cell phone.
【1】What will the visitors do when they come to see the family?

B. They must leave their cell phone at home.
C. They will put their cell phone outside before entering the room.

C. Advantages and disadvantages.
D. Advice and plans.
【3】Who made the family have the idea of living “in 1982”?
A. The reporter. B. Young Trey.
C. Blair McMillan. D. Morgan.
23、Last year, I would read more than one book a month easily. I also knew the first book I would read this year would be a Christmas gift, “We Are The Ants” by Shaun David Hutchinson.
This book was recommended to me by a long-time friend. She told me “it’s really sad.” Within the first chapter, we learn that Henry has been regularly abducted (绑架) by aliens since he was thirteen years old. The aliens usually just do strange experiments on him, but they recently communicate with him that the world is going to meet its end. They give him the choice to either press a button and save the world or not press it and the world will end on January 29th, 2016. Henry’s entire life is already falling apart. With his grandmother suffering from Alzheimers, his mother struggling to pay the bills, and his girlfriend dying a year ago, he decides not to press the button.
I thought I knew what I was going to get when I picked up this book, but it’s nothing like I could imagine. The self-discovery, existential crises (生存危机), and romance (爱情) don’t seem like it would fit so well with alien abductions, but this book proved that wrong.
I could sit here and type out the entire story of this book, but you would still be missing out on the experience of reading it. There is such a wide range of emotions “We Are The Ants” made me feel, and that is one of the reasons why I enjoyed this book so much.
I’m really happy that this was my first book of the year and I’m already starting on book number two! The hardest part of reading is starting, so try reading even just one book this year. It’s good for you.
【1】Why did the author choose to read “We Are The Ants”?
A．Because the book is a bestseller.
B．Because his friend recommended it.
C．Because he was interested in its theme.
D．Because the book is written by his friend.
【2】Which of the following is correct about the story of “We Are The Ants”?
A．The aliens decide to kill Henry on January 29th, 2016.
B．The aliens have imprisoned Henry since they caught him.
C．Henry’s girlfriend was killed by the aliens.
D．Henry met aliens when he was thirteen.
【3】The aliens force Henry to choose whether to ____.
A．destroy his world
B．help them
C．accept their experiments
D．end his own life
【4】According to the author, the book actually made him ________.
A．touched
B．amused
C．surprised
D．disappointed
24、A recent study led by researchers from the National University of Singapore(NUS)has found a clear link between the color of a taxi and its accident rate. An analysis of 36 months of detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yellow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibility (能见度)of yellow makes it easier for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.
The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a causal relationship between the color of a taxi and the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team analysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 6.1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.
The researchers also studied the economic effect of changing the color of the entire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio(比例) of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76.6 fewer accidents would occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year. Assuming an average repair cost of $1,000 per car and a downtime of six days, switching the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual savings of $2 million.
“We are eager to continue to validate(证实) the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other types of public transport, such as school buses. For instance, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses. Besides, we are also interested to look at private-hire vehicles and do a comparison of the accident rates of vehicles that are of different colors,” explained Prof Ho.
【1】Why do yellow taxis result in fewer accidents?
A. Because yellow can be seen more easily.
B. Because yellow signals a warning of danger.
C. Because drivers tend to be more careful in yellow taxis.
D. Because people act more quickly in yellow surroundings.
【2】What’s Prof Ho’s study based on?
A. Physical risks taxi passengers experience.
B. The economic effect of changing taxi color.
C. Data from Singapore’s largest taxi company.
D. Personal reports from taxi drivers worldwide.
【3】What do Prof Ho’s words in the last paragraph suggest?
A. School buses should be painted yellow.
B. Their findings are worth popularizing.
C. Yellow should be widely used in public transport.
D. Their study will be furthered.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A. Caution: yellow taxis ahead
B. Safer to ride in yellow taxis
C. Why are yellow taxis preferred?
D. How can colors help prevent accidents?
