一、阅读理解。

Grandparents who help out occasionally with childcare in their community tend to live longer

than seniors who do not care for other people，according to a study from Berlin，Germany.

“Having no contact with grandchildren at all can negatively impact grandparents' health.This

link could be deeply rooted in our evolutionary past when help with childcare was important for

the survival of the human species，”said Sonja Hilbrand，one of the researchers.

The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70.Overall，after accounting

for grandparents' age and general state of health，the risk of dying over a 20­year period was

one­third lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren，compared with grandparents

who provided no childcare.

Caregiving was associated with a longer life even when the care receiver wasn't a relative.Half

of all childless seniors who provided support to friends or neighbors lived for seven years after

the study began，while non­helpers lived for four years on average.

“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others

and society.Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and

mentally active，”said Professor Bruno Arpino.

Arpino noted，however, that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health and

that too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working，being in social clubs，or volunteering.“Children should take_into_account their parents' needs，willingness，and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare，”he suggested.

“It is very important that every individual decides for himself/herself, what ‘proper amounts

of help' means，”Hilbrand said，adding，“As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity

(强度)of help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself.”

【解题导语】德国柏林一项研究发现，祖父母适当地帮忙照顾孙辈比不照顾孙辈的老年人寿命长。

难句分析：Overall, after accounting for grandparents' age and general state of health，the

risk of dying over a 20­year period was one­third lower for grandparents who cared for their

grandchildren, compared with grandparents who provided no childcare.

分析：本句为主从复合句。其中，Overall在此为副词，在句中作状语；after为介词，其后接动名词短语作宾语；两个who均引导定语从句compared with grandparents who...为过去分词短语作状语。

译文：总的来说，在考虑祖父母的年龄和大致的健康状况后，与那些没照顾孙辈的祖父母相比，那些照顾孙辈的祖父母在20年间的死亡风险要低三分之一。

1．D 推理判断题。根据文章第三段第一句The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people

over age 70.可知，这一发现是从对500多个70岁以上的老人的数据分析得来的。故选D项。

2．B 推理判断题。根据题干中的Arpino's opinion定位至文章第五段中的“Caregiving may give

caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society...”可知，看护小孩让看护人觉得生活有了目的，因为他们觉得自己对他人和社会是有用的，也就是说，看护小孩可以使他们感觉生活得有意义。故选B项。

3．D 词义猜测题。根据上文中too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial

activities及后面的“...their parents' needs，willingness，and desires and agree with them on the

timing and amount of childcare，”可知，过多的照看责任会使老人无法从事其他有意义的活动，所以孩子应考虑老人的需求、意愿和渴求，同意他们照顾孩子的时间长度和强度的选择。由此可猜测，take into

account意为“考虑”，与consider意义相近。故选D项。

4．C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity of

help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself.”可知，只要你帮忙的强度不会让你感到有压力，这对他人、对你自己都是有好处的。由此可知，适当地照顾小孩对祖父母有好处。故选C项。

二、单句语法填空

1．We urged that she ________ (come) to the party, but she protested that she was too tired.

答案：(should) come urge “强烈要求”后跟从句时，从句的谓语动词常用虚拟语气，即“should＋动词原形”，should可以省略。 最新中小学教案、试题、试卷
