　　(2024·河南鄭州四中調(diào)研)

　　More than half of parents in the United States are helping, or have helped their adult children who have been hit by high unemployment and stagnant (無變化的) wages, according to a new survey. It showed that present economic conditions are discouraging young adults from leaving home and forcing those who have already gone, so-called boomerang_children,_to return.

　　“Parents are continuing their financial involvement longer than we expected，” said Ted Beck, the president and CEO of National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE)．

　　About 60 percent of parents questioned in the survey said they are helping their adult children who are no longer in school financially, providing housing and living expenses.

　　For an increasing number of adult children, the situation is bad. Two-thirds of adult children, aged 18 to 39, who are not in school said they faced tougher financial pressures than previous generations, according to the survey. And nearly one-third of parents agreed that it was easier for them to earn money than for their children.

　　Parents are helping their children out of genuine concern, and because they do not want to see them struggle. But Beck said that parents who make sacrifices to help their adult children should be cautious about their own finances.

　　“If you are taking on extra debt or delaying retirement to help your adult child, you could be making a mistake and putting your own financial future in danger，” Beck warned.

　　Boomerang children can also cause other problems for their parents. Thirty percent of parents said they had given up privacy since their adult children moved back home, while more than a quarter have taken on added debt, and ten percent have delayed retirement. But the survey also showed that 42 percent of adult children living at home are helping with the cooking and cleaning.

　　語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。一項調(diào)查表明，受美國低薪資和高失業(yè)率影響，很多已經(jīng)成年的子女不能脫離家庭獨立生活，在經(jīng)濟(jì)上仍然要依靠父母。這種現(xiàn)象同時也引發(fā)了一些問題。

　　1．The underlined phrase“boomerang children” in the first paragraph likely means ________.

　　A．a(chǎn)dult children visiting parents often

　　B．married adult children

　　C．a(chǎn)dult children depending on parents for financial support

　　D．a(chǎn)dult children independent and successful in life

　　答案：C　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章第一段可知，由于受到美國經(jīng)濟(jì)的影響，很多成年的子女都受父母的資助，有些已經(jīng)離開家的人又搬回家和父母同住。因此boomerang children應(yīng)該是“指那些離開家一段時間又回家住，并接受父母資助的成年人”。故選C項。

　　2．What is Ted Beck's suggestion to the parents?

　　A．Asking their children to help with the housework.

　　B．Leaving their children to struggle to live.

　　C．Being careful when helping their children financially.

　　D．Putting off their time of retirement.

　　答案：C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段第二句“But Beck said that parents who make sacrifices to help their adult children should be cautious about their own finances.”可知，那些犧牲自己幫助孩子的家長要當(dāng)心自己的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況。故選C項。

　　3．According to the survey, we can know that ________.

　　A．a(chǎn)bout 50% of parents give money to their adult children to cover the daily cost

　　B．two-thirds of adult children are faced with financial problems in school

　　C．one-third of adult children earn money more easily than their parents

　　D．one in ten parents has delayed retirement

　　答案：D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第二句“Thirty percent of parents said... and ten percent have delayed retirement.”可知，10%的家長延遲了退休。故選D項。

　　4．What is the main idea of the whole text?

　　A．Adult children are less independent.

　　B．Parents help support adult children.

　　C．Bad conditions affect children a lot.

　　D．Adult children like living with parents.

　　答案：B　主旨大意題。本文是一項調(diào)查結(jié)果，在文章開頭就提出了“More than half of parents in the United States are helping, or have helped their adult children... according to a new survey.”告訴人們現(xiàn)在超過一半的父母正在幫助或者已經(jīng)幫助過自己的已經(jīng)成年的孩子。故選B項。

　　(2024·安徽·E)

　　You may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years, this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (貧困) and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world's most promising “changemakers”seeking to solve (解決)urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.

　　Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact, it is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the city, helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there.

　　When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka's streets, attracting rats and diseases, they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste. So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把……制成堆肥)this waste.They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical fertilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years. At first, they were refused, but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made, the project took off. In 2009 sales were $ 14,000.

　　Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious, practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.

　　語篇解讀：本文介紹了一個倡導(dǎo)變革的組織，這個組織想創(chuàng)造一個每一個公民都是變革者的世界。

　　5．Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

　　A．Changemakers B．Businessmen

　　C．Social Conditions D．Rubbish Problem

　　答案：A　 主旨大意題。本文在第一段點出主題：一個倡導(dǎo)變革的組織想創(chuàng)造一個每一個公民都是變革者的世界。然后通過舉例進(jìn)行論證。故本題答案為A項。

　　6．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to “________.”

　　A．the local farmers B．Masqsood and Iftekhar

　　C．Drayton and his team D．the poor people in Dhaka

　　答案：D　詞義猜測題。從第三段第二句的“So they educated the poor people in the city”可知，此處意為：一旦他們能說服這些窮人，有錢可賺時，這個工程就受歡迎了。故選D項。

　　7．It can be concluded from the passage that anyone can become a changemaker if he ________.

　　A．considers Drayton's concept

　　B．gets permission from Ashoka

　　C．tries to improve social conditions

　　D．is a young, happy and healthy adult

　　答案：C　 推理判斷題。從第二段的第一、二句話以及最后一段可知，如果他想改變社會條件，每個人都會成為變革者。故選C項。

　　8．The author's attitude towards Ashoka's program can be described as ________.

　　A．changing B．forgiving

　　C．cautious D．positive

　　答案：D　 推理判斷題。從最后一段的“Drayton is optimistic that in...”可知，作者對此持積極的態(tài)度。故選D項。
