Ⅰ. 阅读理解

The year 2019 saw the end of the hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory. Now, another popular comedy, Modern Family, follows in their footsteps. After 11 seasons the final episode aired on April 8, bringing an end to a sitcom “widely recognised as one of the funniest and most decorated sitcoms of this century”， according to Eonline.

Hitting our screens in 2009, the show claimed 22 Emmys in total, an American award that recognizes excellence in television. At its peak the show appealed to over 9 million viewers for its similar family dynamic, loveable characters and mockumentary (伪纪录片) style.

Over the course of the series, fans have witnessed the Pritchett­Dunphy­Tucker clan (家族), an extended Los Angeles family, overcome the problems of any modern family, including death, adoption and mental health. The big family's highs and lows have made it so similar that we see them as part of our own family and care about their stories. From fights between brothers and sisters to parental disagreement about children's education, the show, despite being a comedy, deals with serious modern issues that are familiar to the audience.

As the camera cut to each departing family member, Jay Pritchett, the head of the family, expressed an important theme of the show. “Life is full of change. I learned a long time ago you can fight it, or you can try to make the best of it. And that's a whole lot easier if you've got people helping you face whatever life throws at you，” he said emotionally.

Just as the final episode concluded, fans were treated to one last heartfelt moment: As each family switched off their porch (门廊) light, Claire asks Phil (a couple in the show) what they'll do now that their kids have grown up and moved on. Phil said, “Leave the porch light on — they come back.”

A. Because its plot, characters and style attract them.

B. Because it is considered the funniest comedy of the century.

C. Because they witness the solutions of modern families' problems.

D. Because they are unfamiliar with the issues dealt with in the show.

3. Why does the author write Paragraph 4?

A. To introduce Jay Pritchett.

B. To describe the departing scene.

C. To show the topic of the show.
