Ⅲ.閱讀理解
A
As I was reading a recent story in Slate on 20-somethings complaining about how the economy was ruining their life plans,I couldn't help but think the 20-somethings sounded like a bunch of spoiled children who grew up expecting everything to be easy for them.As a 20-something myself,I certainly share their disappointment:My husband and I probably won't be able to buy a house until we're in our 40s,and we too are burdened by student loans (貸款).But why should it be any different? Being young persons in America,shouldn't they take up all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers?
Consider some of these views shared in the Slate story: Jennifer,29,owner of a two-bedroom apartment with her husband,worries that she won't be able to have children for at least a decade because they can't afford to buy a house yet.
I read that,and I thought,what planet is she living on where you need to own a house in order to have kids? Has she ever visited a developing country,or even downtown areas in this one? Home ownership is a luxury (奢侈品),not a fertility requirement.
A 26-year-old in the story despairs (絕望) that he can't afford to get a Ph.D.in literature.Well,that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for five years.
Yes,it's sad that these young people feel so lost.But I think the problem is their extremely high expectations,not economic reality.Beth Kobliner,author of Get a Financial Life:Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties,says that she thinks people's expectations are slowly adjusting,but today's 20-somethings grew up at a time when everyone's wealth appeared to be expanding.Their parents probably saw their home values rise along with their investments.“So you have people who have grown up in an environment where people had great expectations of what living well means,” says Kobliner.
This recession (衰退) will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group.In the meantime,it seems a lot better for our mental health to focus on being grateful—for our one-bedroom apartments,for living in modern cities,or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day—than on longing for some kind of luxury life.
【語篇解讀】 本文是一篇關(guān)于社會生活的文章。現(xiàn)在的年輕人因為不能過上奢華的生活而抱怨,實際上他們應(yīng)該珍惜他們所擁有的東西。
1.What makes the author think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children?
A.They expect everything to be easy for them.
B.They complain that the economy is spoiling their life plans.
C.They are reluctant to face all of the challenges.
D.They are burdened by student loans.
【解析】 事實細(xì)節(jié)題。由第一段第一句可知答案。
【答案】 B
2.The underlined word “fertility” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A.baby production
B.pleasant
C.baby comfort
D.essential
【解析】 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段的上下文語境:you need to own a house in order to have kids可知own a house是have kids的條件。
【答案】 A
3.Which of the following is NOT one of the complaints of the 20-somethings?
A.They can't have children for at least a decade to buy a house.
B.They have only one-bedroom apartment to live in.
C.They can't buy a house until 40 because of student loans.
D.They despair at not being able to afford a Ph.D.in literature.
【解析】 事實細(xì)節(jié)題。信息點分散在前四段中。
【答案】 B
4.What's the author's attitude towards the 20-somethings with high expectations in Paragraph 5?
A.Intolerant.
B.Negative.
C.Unbelieving.
D.Understanding.
【解析】 推理判斷題。第五段中But表示轉(zhuǎn)折,So表示結(jié)果。加上引用Kobliner的話“So you have people who have grown up in an environment where people had great expectations of what living well means,” says Kobliner.因此不難判斷作者對于20-somethings的態(tài)度是理解的。
【答案】 D
5.What is the BEST title for this passage?
A.How Young People Afford to Continue Their Study
B.Why Young People Can't Afford to Buy a House

【答案】 C
B
Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford,Illinois,where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower.But on Thursday,Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains.
His last hike was up Mount Annapurna,in Asia's snowcapped Himalayas.At 26,545 feet,its peak is the 10th highest in the world,It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.
“It tends to be the trickiest,the most dangerous,”said Viesturs.”There's no simple way to climb it.There are threatening avalanches(雪崩)and ice falls that protect the mountain.”
In high school,Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog's tale of climbing the icy Annapurna.Herzog's story was of frostbite(凍傷)and difficulty and near-death experiences.Viesturs was hooked right away.
Viesturs got his start on Washington's Mount Rainier in 1977,guiding hikes in the summer.Fifteen years ago,he set out to walk up to the world's highest peaks.Finally,he's done.
The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect.“You have to use all of your senses,all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,”said Viesturs.“If we have the patience and the respect,and if we're here at the right time,under the right circumstances,they allow us to go up,and allow us to come down.”
What's next for a man who can't stop climbing?“I'm going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer,”says Viesturs.But for a man who's climbed the world's 14 tallest mountains,he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.
【語篇解讀】 本文向大家介紹了一位登山探險家Ed Viesturs的一些情況,他創(chuàng)下了登上14座世界高峰的記錄。
6.What record has Ed Viesturs set?
A.He has succeeded in climbing to the world's 14th highest mountain.
B.He has been to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains.
C.He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545 feet.
D.He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.
【解析】 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段第二句和最后一段的最后一句可知答案。
【答案】 B
7.The underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “________”.
A.frightened
B.discouraged
C.interested
D.upset
【解析】 詞義猜測題。由畫線詞所在的這一段和下一段內(nèi)容可知,因?qū)aurice Herzog的事情感興趣,他開始了登山的歷程,由此可知C項正確。
【答案】 C

A.mountain climbing is a dangerous sport
B.mountains should be regarded as living creature
