Boomerang Kids can be a mixed blessing for parents, both emotionally and financially.Especially during hard economic times, adult children head for home. According to a survey, about 40 percent of 2017 graduates still live with their parents. Moreover, 42 percent of the 2015 graduates surveyed said they are still living at home.The reasons are many, the first being economics. While the recession(衰退) has touched Americans of all ages, it has been very hard for young adults. This has sent many kids back home. Plus, there is the matter of debt, especially college loans. For many recent graduates, it makes smart economic sense to move back in with their parents where life is comfortable and rent is either low or nonexistent. Then, of course, some return for personal reasons, such as recovering from a divorce or an illness.Parents are often glad to help out, both emotionally and financially. As a result, the arrangement often works to everyone’s satisfaction. However, there are risks, especially for the parents. These include not only family tension and misunderstandings, but also money. The return to the family can become a financial burden that can affect the parents’ plans and their financial future, especially their retirement, as they try to do too much for their children.21. From the passage, we know Boomerang Kids____________________________.     .[来源:学科网ZXXK]A. return to live with parents after graduation B. have problem with their marriageC. graduate from college in advanceD. like to show off their independence22. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 mean something that_________________.      A. is very useful and beneficialB. has advantages and disadvantages C. will have a good resultD. worries people a lot23. What can we learn from the passage?A. It is a tough choice for young adults to move back home.B. Children face fewer financial problems than ever.C. Parents may have to deal with extra financial burden.D. Most graduates choose to live with their parents.BHave you ever looked out of the window of a passenger plane from 30,000 feet at the vast expanses of empty ocean and uninhabited land, and wondered how people can have any major effect on the Earth? I have. It is now becoming pretty clear that we are causing a great deal of damage to the natural environment. And the planes which rush us in comfort to destinations around the globe, contribute to one of the biggest environmental problems that we face today— global warming.     As usual, people in the developing world are having to deal with problems created mainly by those of us in developed countries. Beatrice Schell, a spokeswoman for the European Federation for Transport and Environment says that, “One person flying in an airplane for one hour is responsible for the same greenhouse gas emissions（排放） as a typical Bangladeshi in a whole year.” And every year jet aircraft produce almost as much carbon dioxide as the entire African continent does.        There is a way of offsetting(抵消) the carbon dioxide we produce when we travel by plane. A company called Future Forests offers a service which can relieve the guilty consciences of air travelers. The Future Forest website calculates the amount of CO2 you are responsible for producing on your flight, and for a small fee will plant a number of trees which will absorb this CO2.         Yesterday I returned to Japan from England, and was happy to pay Future Forests 25 pounds to plant the 3 trees which balance my share of the CO2 produced by my return flight. Now the only thing making me lose sleep is jet lag. 24. What can we infer from paragraph 2?   A. underdeveloped countries are less polluted.   B. flying by air can do great harm to underdeveloped countries.    C. developed countries contribute more to global warming.   D. Bangladesh attaches great importance to environmental protection.25. Why did the writer pay Future Forests 25 pounds after his flight?  A. To cure his jet lag after the long flight.  B. To reduce the harm to the environment caused by his flight.  C. To donate the money to less developed countries.  D. To pay extra fee for the energy-saving plane.26. Which of the following might be the writer’s purpose to write this passage?  A. Showing the major effects of air traveling.  B. Advertising the company of Future Forests.   C. Persuading people to stop taking planes when they travel.   D. Arousing people’s awareness of the harm caused by flights.CChinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.   27．Parents in China, according to this passage, _______.A. are too strict with their children  B. are too rich to educate their childrenC. have some problems in educating their children correctlyD. are too poor to educate their children28．The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied with ______.A. the parents’ ideas of educating their children   B. the education system  C. children’s skills                          D. children’s hobbies   29．Doing some cooking at home helps children ______.A. learn how to serve their parents    B. learn how to become strong and fatC. benefit from it and prepare themselves for the futureD. make their parents believe that they are clever30．According to the last paragraph we can conclude that ______.A. broken radios and television sets are usefulB. one’s curiosity may be useful for his later life C. an engineer must fix many broken radiosD. a good student should spend much time repairing radios  第二节 任务型读写(每题2分，共10分) 认真阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文章中的表格中填入恰当的选项。Suggestions for cooking on a Tight ScheduleIn my opinion, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time, __31__Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three suggestions for great cooking on a tight schedule:  1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think about of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready?___32___  2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? __33___ it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.  3.__34__ This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.  Hopefully that gives you a good start. __35__ and don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!  A. Cooking is a burden for many people.B. Make three or four instead. C. Ability is easily improved.D.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.E. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.F. Try new things.G. Understand your food better.  三.阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D），选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（每小题1.5分，共30分）     I first went to hear a live rock concert when I was eight years old.

It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角)had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling , jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster （怪物）is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants. For example, a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not.In most places in the world, a green light means to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means agree to continue with a project.56．A greenhorn now refers to ____________.A. a person who is new in a job        B. a new soldier.C. a young horse                    D. a cow without horns57．A person with a green thumb is a person _______.A. who is good at growing plants        B. whose thumbs are of green colorC. whose garden is greener than others’   D. who is younger than his neighbors58．A man may meet the green-eyed monster if __________.A. he sees a dangerous animal            B. he reads a sad playC. his friend gets a prize that he wants      D. he can't get something59．The main idea of the passage is ________.A. a greenhorn                         B. a green thumbC. the Green Revolution                 D. the word “green” and its story第二卷 （客观题，共45分）五.  语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入单词的正确形式。The year of 2014 was pretty tough for Stevens.

We have to get up early to make our beds before our teacher comes to inspect. After breakfast, we have some free time. Yesterday morning I went down to the nearby stream to fish, but the only thing I caught was a tree branch. Great catch, huh? In the afternoon, there are different activities like horseback riding and hiking. They’re fun, but nothing new for me. In the evening, everyone is assigned a different task to get dinner ready. Yesterday, I was in charge of preparing the hotdogs, but I accidentally dropped them in the fire. The other kids are still laughing at me because of that. The best part of the camp is at night, when we sit around a campfire and tell stories, although one night while trying to find more sticks for the fire, I almost got lost in the forest. Well, at least camp is almost over, and we will go back at about 8 am the day after tomorrow.
