Until this point, Id always thought of top athletes in another generation. I had no real connection to people in the news or playing sports on TV because they were so much older. But pretty soon, people of my age will be the ones dominating (支配) the news.The fort came in understanding that as I prepare to graduate from Sanford H. Calhoun High School in Merrick, Im not that far off from entering the real world, and I will have a chance to make a name for myself.Right now, Im at the end of one of life stages, with many more to e. As seniors, many in my class developed superiority_plexes. Wed see babyfaced ninthgraders and think, “Ugh, those annoying freshmen.” Or wed hear juniors plain about starting the college application process and say to each other, “Those juniors have no idea what theyre talking about.” Of course, last years seniors said the same thing about last years juniors, repeating a timeless cycle.Psychologist and author Thomas Armstrong writes that life is made up of 12 stages. He stresses that no stage is more important than another, and each has its own unique gifts. There is no highest point in life, no impressive ending when you are above everybody else. At the same time, there is no lowest point in life; at no point is a human worthless and below others. Just as an infant isnt below everyone else, our elders arent above everyone else.語篇解讀：本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者在觀看足球比賽時意識到自己將和一些優(yōu)秀的運(yùn)動員同歲，并由此引發(fā)了其對高中生活和人生的感悟。4What can we know about the author?AHell finish his high school studies about one year later.BReflecting on the past is a part of his daily routine.CFootball is a particular favorite with him.DHe dreams of being an excellent athlete.解析：選A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“As a high school senior”可知，作者作為高中畢業(yè)班學(xué)生，會在大約一年后完成自己的高中學(xué)業(yè)。故選A。5Why did the author find his realization forting?AThe top athletes are the same age as him.BThere is a possibility that he can be famous.CHe will be admitted to his dream university.DHes made full preparations for entering society.解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容，尤其是“I will have a chance to make a name for myself”可知，作者覺得自己的感悟中令人欣慰的部分是他很快就會步入真正的世界，也將有機(jī)會讓自己出名。make a name“出名，成名”。故選B。6What does the underlined phrase “superiority plexes” in Paragraph 4 mean?AA habit of making plaints.BA habit of following in others footsteps.CA feeling that you are better than others.DA feeling that others are unapproachable.解析：選C詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Wed see babyfaced ninthgraders and think . repeating a timeless cycle”可知，該段主要講的是作為畢業(yè)班學(xué)生，作者的很多同學(xué)會在新生面前自以為是，或者嘲笑那些抱怨大學(xué)申請過程(復(fù)雜)的低年級學(xué)生，即高年級學(xué)生會在低年級學(xué)生面前產(chǎn)生一種優(yōu)越感，故畫線詞的意思應(yīng)為“優(yōu)越感”。故選C。7What message is conveyed in the last paragraph?ALife is meant to be lived and enjoyed.BLife is never smooth, full of ups and downs.COne should try to reach his greatest potential.DEveryone has their own value and position in life.解析：選D推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“at no point is a human worthless and below others. Just as an infant isnt below everyone else, our elders arent above everyone else”可知，在任何時候人都是有價值的，不低于他人，亦不高于他人，即每個人在生活中都有自己的價值和位置。故選D。C(2019名校原創(chuàng)預(yù)測卷五)Grandparents who help out occasionally with childcare or provide support for others in their munity tend to live longer than seniors who do not care for other people, according to a study from Berlin, Germany.Having fulltime custody (監(jiān)護(hù)) of grandchildren can have a negative effect on health, but occasional helping can be beneficial for seniors.The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70 in the Berlin Aging Study.The participants pleted interviews and medical tests every two years.The researchers did not include any grandparents who were the primary caregivers for their grandchildren, only those who cared for grandchildren occasionally.The study team pared this group with seniors who provided support for nonfamily members, such as friends or neighbors, and seniors who did not provide any care for other people.Overall, after accounting for grandparents age and general state of health, the risk of dying over a 20year period was onethird lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren, pared with grandparents who did not provide any childcare.Half of the grandparents who cared for grandchildren were still alive ten years after the initial interview.The same was true for participants who did not have grandchildren but supported their adult children in some way, such as helping with housework.In contrast, about half of the participants who did not help others died within five years after the start of the study.“Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active，” said Professor Arpino, adding that previous studies suggest that caregiving may improve cognitive (認(rèn)知的) functioning, mental and physical health.Arpino noted, however, that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health, and too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working, being in social clubs, or volunteering.“Children should take into consideration their parents needs, willingness, and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare，” Arpino suggested.語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，偶爾幫忙照看孩子或者給社區(qū)的其他人提供幫助的老年人會更長壽。8What does the study from Berlin focus on?AThe problems faced by grandparents providing childcare.BWhether grandparents should provide childcare.CHow grandparents can help out with childcare.DThe benefits of childcare on grandparents.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Grandparents who help out occasionally with childcare .other people”及下文的內(nèi)容可知，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，偶爾幫忙照看孩子或者給社區(qū)的其他人提供幫助的老年人比那些不關(guān)心他人的老年人活得更久。由此可知，該研究的關(guān)注點(diǎn)是兒童照管給老年人帶來的好處。故選D。9Whats Arpinos attitude toward caregiving?ADoubtful. BObjective.CNegative. DFavorable.解析：選B觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)第五段中的“Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active”及第六段中的“caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health, and too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities”可知，Arpino既肯定了兒童看護(hù)對老年人的好處，也說明了過多的看護(hù)責(zé)任可能會帶來的不利影響，因此Arpino對讓老年人看護(hù)兒童所持的態(tài)度是客觀的。故選B。10Which statement may Arpino agree with?AGrandparents are really the best choice for childcare.BThere is a growing trend toward grandparenting.CChildcare provides more opportunities for the elder.DProper amounts of childcare make grandparents live longer.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的第一句和最后一段中的“Children should take into consideration their parents needs, willingness, and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare”可知，Arpino可能認(rèn)可的言論是適量的兒童看護(hù)可能會使老年人更長壽。故選D。11Why does the author write the passage?ATo present the findings of a study.BTo tell the senior how to live longer.CTo stress the importance of childcare.DTo give advice on looking after the aged.解析：選A寫作意圖題?？v觀全文可知，本文主要向讀者介紹了一項(xiàng)研究的結(jié)果，即偶爾幫忙照看孩子或者給社區(qū)的其他人提供幫助的老年人會更長壽。故作者寫作本文的意圖是告訴人們這一研究的結(jié)果。故選A。D(2019名校原創(chuàng)預(yù)測卷三)The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her parents.But through working as a parttime skating instructor and restaurant server, she isnt able to earn enough to live anywhere other than home.To some degree, multigenerational households (家庭) 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 doesnt 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 (同齡人), 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, that doesnt necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest.He said, “They may like living at home and being able to save money.”“Theres no doubt 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 dont have a house expense or marriage.I dont know if it represents a change in moral values.But its much more mon for adult children to live in their parents homes because its being part of the culture.”語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。在西方的傳統(tǒng)觀念中，成年即意味著要離開父母，獨(dú)立生活。然而現(xiàn)在，越來越多的西方年輕人更傾向于與父母同住。12What can be learned about Caitlin Hipp?AShe is in her thirties.BShe is ambitious for her career.CShe can barely make ends meet.DShe prefers living with her parents.解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“But through working as a parttime skating instructor and restaurant server, she isnt able to earn enough to live anywhere other than home”可知，如果不住在家里，通過作兼職滑冰教練和餐館服務(wù)員，Hipp是不能賺取足夠的錢來獨(dú)立生活的，即她很難維持生計(jì)。故選C。13Whats the reason for young adults living at home according to UBS Financial Services?AThe lack of job opportunity.BTheir parents need for them.CThe high pressure from modern life.DTheir parents overprotection of them.解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesnt want them to leave”可知，據(jù)瑞銀金融服務(wù)公司發(fā)布的報告顯示，越來越多的年輕人住在家里的一個原因是他們的父母不想讓他們離開，即他們的父母需要他們。故選B。14What does Hoffman think of young adults living at home?AIt will never go out of fashion.BIt may allow of more travel chances.CIt results from the change in moral values.DIt goes against Americas cultural development.解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“But they are probably traveling more and eating out more if they dont have a house expense or marriage”可知，在Hoffman看來，年輕人住在家里可能會使他們擁有更多的旅游機(jī)會。故選B。15What is the authors purpose of writing this passage?ATo introduce different types of living arrangements.BTo stress the importance of financial independence.CTo inform people of a social phenomenon in the US.DTo explain why American young adults still live at home.解析：選C寫作意圖題?？v觀全文可知，本文主要介紹了在美國，越來越多的年輕人傾向于與父母同住的這樣一種社會現(xiàn)象，故C項(xiàng)最能概括作者寫作本文的目的。.閱讀七選五(2019名校原創(chuàng)預(yù)測卷二)Being first in your class is a goal that you can work toward, but you must set it for yourself from the first day of high school. _16_Read beyond assigned reading.
