The yold are more numerous, healthier and wealthier than previous generations of seniors.②________ Of the 3.7 years of increased life expectancy(预期寿命) in rich countries between 2000 and 2015, says the WHO, 3.2 years were enjoyed in good health. Working is one of the factors that are helping people stay healthy longer. A German study found that people who remain at work after the normal retirement age manage to slow the cognitive(认知的) decline. The yold are also better off, while the wealth of all other age groups declined. The yold are not just any group of old people They are challenging the traditional expectations of the retired as who are wearing indoor shoes and look after the grandchildren. ③________ They become one of the fastest rowing group for airline business. They spend much more, when taking a foreign holiday, than young adults. So they are vital to the Tourism industry.

But that world is disappearing.A report shows that children are more likely to watch programs and videos on laptops and mobile phones, rather than on television screens. That is to say, watching television within families is becoming a private and individual activity. ②______________ TV sets, the focus in a lot of homes for many years, are falling out of favor among children.③______________ The monitoring survey shows their viewing has slightly increased this year to an average of over two and a half hours per day. Half of children and teenagers preferred watching back-to-back episodes(剧集), so that two and a half hours of viewing might be for a single program. ④______________ The idea of a TV channel with a fixed schedule also seems as clumsy as a DVD player.Such shared viewing is so last century.

It was a shared experience across communities.B. The idea of waiting for a program is disappearing.C. Homes become places where people are alone together.D.

When Harvard University found out about the group, it took back the students’ offers, ③_____________.“I appreciate humor, but there are so many topics that just should not be joked about,” incoming freshman Jessica Zhang told the Harvard Crimson. “I do not know how those offensive images could be defended”. ④_____________ “It sounds like Harvard is going too deeply into the private lives of students, Alan Dershowitz, a retired Harvard Law School professor, told The Guardian. “It may affect them for life.”⑤_____________ Last year, a similar Facebook group for admitted Harvard students drew criticism from the university after some of its members posted racist jokes.A.

答案以及解析一、答案:①-⑤ BDCEF解析:①过渡句。B项And that can be a big problem中的that指代空前一句中的we just care about one thing—shopping, 而a big problem与下文over-consumption is the mother of all environmental problems相呼应。故选B。 ②细节句。选项D是对空前一句的进一步说明, 说明空前的an international event的举办时间, 且破折号后a famous shopping day in the US and Canada说的正是Black Friday。故选D。③主题句。设空处在段首, 且空后句说明了我们面临的问题, 这些问题就是我们更需要不消费日的原因。故C项符合上下文逻辑, 故选C。④细节句。空前一句说明销售额创下了新纪录; 空后一句说明了废物也创下了新纪录, E项点明了两项新纪录间的关系, 故选E。⑤细节句。选项F进一步解释说明空前"single-use"的含义。故选F。 二、答案:EAGFC

(……难道你不希望你的假期成为你永远的回忆,并在之后的岁月里谈论它吗?)及空后的"Here are some ways to approach all the information to help you plan your vacation."可知,设空处承上启下,表示要有一个成功的假期需要计划,E项符合语境,该项中的"that"指代空前内容,故选E项。②设空处应填段落小标题,后文中的"Road trip games are always a great idea"及"Creating your own soundtrack is another key to a fun road trip."在介绍公路旅行中的游戏和歌曲,A项是这两部分的总结,故选A项。③小标题中的Pack和第一句中what to pack与G项中"packing a suitcase"对应,故选G项。④根据段落小标题Save Money可知,本段在说旅行费用问题,F项中"cheap"与此对应。空后"Not necessarily."是对F项中问题的回答,表示“公路旅行本身不一定是便宜的”,与下文衔接自然,故选F项。⑤空前一句提到“我已经学会了从旅行中得到最大的好处”,所以设空处应是接着说旅行的好处,结合空后“它也是种内心的旅行”可知,C项Travel is more than just going to a place.符合文意,故选C项。三、答案:①-⑤ CEAFB解析: ①细节句。空格前介绍了超过三分之一的英国年轻人说他们在新冠病毒期间看书看得比以前多了, 第二段介绍了国家扫盲信托基金会和海雀所调查的对象, 所以此处应该选C(这一发现是国家扫盲信托基金会和海雀在7月13日发布的, 后者是世界领先的儿童书籍出版商之一)来交代空格前数据的来源。②细节句。空格前说国家扫盲信托基金会和海雀在2020年1月至3月期间调查的58,346名年轻人的年龄段是9岁到18岁, 然后在5月至6月初的封禁期间又调查了4,141名年轻人。故选E项(与前一次调查稍有不同的是, 他们的年龄段是8岁到18岁)。③主题句。本段说, 近60%的受调查人员说, 阅读让他们心情更好。超过46%的人读了新书, 大约14%的人说他们重新阅读了已经读过的书。由此可知, 选A(调查发现年轻人不仅书看得多了, 而且超过四分之一的人说他们更喜欢读书了)。④细节句。本段第一句说男女生读书兴趣差距增大了。空格处是结尾句, 故选F(这一差距在封禁期间增大了)呼应本段主题句。⑤细节句。空格后说, 超过一半的男生说听有声读物让他们对阅读更感兴趣了, 故此处选B(与女生相比, 略多些的男生喜欢听有声读物)。四、答案:GDFEB解析:(1)G. 推理判断题。 根据空格下一句"The yold are more numerous, healthier and wealthier than previous generations of seniors.与上一代老年人相比,约尔德人的数量更多,更健康,也更富有。"可知G项The yold, in their new appearance as the young old, are expected to change the world.作为年轻人和老年人的新形象,约尔德一家有望改变世界。承接下文符合语境。 故选G.(2)D. 细节理解题。根据后一句"Of the 3.7 years of increased life expectancy in rich countries between 2000 and 2015,says the WHO,3.2 years were enjoyed in good health. 世卫组织说,在发达国家2000年至2015年预期寿命增加的3.7年中,有3.2年健康状况良好。"可知"D.

D【解析】由文章首句“人们很难忽视电视曾经对家庭生活的影响”及空后“It was always there in the background."可知,空处应是继续说明电视的重要影响,故D项“Even if you hated programs, you still watched them. ” 符合语境。2.
