完形填空
1. D。她从教师工作上退了下来，然而她一直很忙。B项有一定干扰性。keep rich 意思是“富有”，从后文she was even willing to work without pay．可以看出B项不合题意。
2. A。从空后的that helped other businesses find jobs for old people．可以看出，她提供的是商业服务。
3. B。从空后的By talking with them可以看出，Anna Douglas每天都与很多老年人会面，而不是观察或安慰他们。
4. A。通过与他们交谈，她认识到两件事情。接下来的两句便是她认识到的事情。recognize在这里是“认识到”的意思。
5. D。老年人有未被利用的能力。这是她积极为老年人找工作发挥他们余热的原因。
其他答案不合题意。
6. B。然而老年人也有老年人的问题。A项有较大干扰性。从后文我们知道，有一位老年人不受其孙子女的欢迎，这是他面临的问题，而不是错误。
7. D。从后文She began to write a newspaper column called“Sixty Plus”，我们知道，她为国家杂志写人物故事是以前的事。
8. A。联系上下文Old people like herself．是报纸的一个话题（subject），因此其它选项不合题意。
9. A。get old在这里为系表结构，其它选项不正确。
10. C。B，D项有较大干扰性。作者举的例子说明很多老年人被其孙子女误解，而不是（他们的要求）被拒绝等。
11. A。从空后的see the truth behind a problem我们得知，Anna Douglas用的是thinking abilities。
12. C。从下文举的例子看，她明白的是事情的起因，因此其它选项不合题意。
13. B。A项有较大干扰性。从前文我们知道Anna Douglas是靠写文章与老年人交流，而不是建立了咨询中心，因此A项不合题意。
14. C。联系上下文我们可以推知，这位老年人与其孙子女关系并不融洽，因此当他进来时，孩子们就离开。
15. C。她给这位老人建议了几种方法。
16. B。A，C有较大干扰性。从空后的your grandchildren’s world我们得知，想了解孙子女世界的一切是不可能的。
17. A。本空承接and前的分句而来，因此答案应在questioning和listening间选择，选项中没有questioning。
18. B。联系上文Say good things to them and about them．得此答案。A项有一定干扰性，空前的Never决定了此选项不正确。
19. D。stick to在这里是“固执地坚持”。A，B均有一定干扰性。联系前文Mrs. Douglas 认为老人应该多听听孙子女的见解，不要太固执地坚持自己的看法。speak out意思是“说出”，give up是“放弃”，因此不合题意。
20. A。D有较大干扰性。Naturally意思是“自然而然地”，而Commonly指“通常情况下”。

这是一篇议论型完形填空，主要说明孩子们在童年和青少年时期所面临的来自大人们的压力。
1. B考查语境理解。由后半句害怕考试与学校的成绩报告单可知答案。

4. C考查词语辨析。这里用times指代需要早早上床休息的时光。
5. D考查语境理解。从had to eat判断，小孩子不愿意吃，hateful十分讨厌的符合语境。
6. A考查语境理解。从if you don’t do as I say, I will来判断，大人是在施加压力，所以用pressure。

14. B考查生活常识。前半句指走出童年，那么后半句应指步入青少年时期。
15. D考查语境理解。青少年开始反对父母的看法。
16.考查固定搭配。Lack of意为缺乏……。

19. C考查词语辨析。青少年经历大喜或大悲时更能够体现他们感情的强烈。
