AMany wealthy and well-traveled people want a completely new experience, but they don’t necessarily want to give up lu xury(奢华的) accommodations and service. The following vacations could be best choices.Cruise down the Amazon RiverAqua Expeditions takes up to 32 passengers at a time on guided journeys of three, four, or seven days down the Amazon River. Those adventurers see forests and waterfalls, visit local fish markets, and take canoe trips. They also take in wildlife such as capuchin monkeys and river dolphins.Go Glamping in MontanaThe Resort at Paws Up located on a cattle ranch(牧场) is a standout in the type. The ranch rents homes with up to four bedrooms, but it’s the luxury tents that offer closer communion with the outdoors. Tents are arranged into camps, each of which has a private chef and butler, the latter of whom helps build campfires and arrange daytime activities. Guests can participate in a cattle drive, go clay shooting, take a hot air balloon trip, or ride horses.Climb inside a Volcano in IcelandIceland is famous for its volcanoes and has plenty of luxury hotel options. Thrill-seekers can actually go down into the dormant (休眠的), 700-foot-deep hrihnukagigur, by using an open elevator. Take a helicopter if you want to skip the2-mile hike to the volcano, and arrange a private tour to avoid crowds. And visitors traveling there can enjoy the luxury hotel such as the ION Luxury Adventure Hotel and the Hotel Rangá.21.What can adventurers do when traveling down the Amazon River?A.Enjoy individually-guided tours.B.Travel with hot air balloons.C.Get a chance to see wildlife.D.Ride horses along the trail.22.At which place can guests enjoy food quite to their taste?A.Aqua Expeditions.B.The Resort at Paws Up.C.Thrihnukagigur.D.The Hotel Rangá.23.What do the three vacations have in common?A.They are adventurous.B.They are animal-centered.C.They have luxury hotel options.D.They are intended for new travelers.BLike anyone who lives in a major city. Doniece Sandoval, a successful businessperson, sees homeless people everywhere. Two years ago, when Sandoval, then 51,happened upon a young woman crying uncontrollably under an overpass at the San Francisco Design Center,she stopped to listen. The woman said sadly “I’ll never be clean.” Sandoval realized how hard it is for homeless people to clean their own bodies.Sandoval could have stopped there. She could have written letters to nonprofits(非赢利性组织), or to City Hall, asking someone else to set up more public showers. Instead, she started Lava Mae (Spanish for“wash me”). It is a nonprofit with a new idea: Take old, unused city buses and retrofit(翻新)them with fully functioning showers for homeless people who can use them for nothing. By early next year, the organization's first retrofitted bus will be taken to the streets of San Francisco.“The design of our buses was based on discussions with homeless people,” Sandoval said. For example, many homeless women expressed concern for their safety and privacy while showering. As a result, Sandoval and her team designed two separate bathrooms in each bus, one of which is for persons with disabilities. Each room includes not only a shower, but also a toilet, a sink, and a space to store one’s things. Each bus will permit around 30 people to shower on a given day. Once all the buses are running, they will be able to provide more than 2,000 showers per week.This is not a campaign to "end homelessness", Sandoval pointed out. Some 10 to 15 percent of the homeless population is chronically(长期地)so, and a shower won’t change that. What a shower will do, though, is enable so me of them who have lost their dignity(尊严)to retrieve a bit of it, even if only for a few minutes or the few hours that cleanliness lasts.24.What caused Sandoval to start Lava Mae?A.Her success in business.B.Letters from local nonprofits.C.The homeless young woman's crying.D.The rising number of homeless people.25.What is the purpose of the organization's buses?A.Raise money to buy the homeless houses.B.Provide a place for the homeless to meet.C.Take the homeless to public showers.D.Offer free showers to the homeless.263.What can we say about Sandoval and her team?A.They are modest.B.They are considerate.C.They are experienced.D.They are strong-willed.27.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "retrieve" in the last paragraph?A.Get back.B.Think over.C.Wish for.D.Believe in.CBe honest, when was the last time you cried? If you’re one of those who say they never cry, the statistics are against you. Women reportedly cry 64 times a year on average, while men shed(流)tears about 17 times. Everyone from professional athletes such as Michael Jordan to politicians like Barack Obama has been caught crying at least once. But why do we cry?Some psychologists (心理学家) believe crying is our body’s response when w e’re helpless. Even if we’re surprised by happy news, we may still cry. Other psychologists say that when we cry, we’re trying to get others to help us out when we’re surprised, sad, angry, scared, or in danger.Therapist (临床专家)Judith Kay Nelson says that our experience with crying as babies may determine how we view crying when we’re older. Some parents are quick to try and calm (安抚) their kids down whenever they start crying. Those children will likely find crying in their adult years brings a similar comfort. On the other hand, those whose parents became angered by their crying probably won’t feel crying has the same calming effect.Many people believe crying can actually make a person feel better. But according to studies, whether it makes us feel better or not depends on the reactions of others. If others react positively (积极地), we’ll feel better. On the contrary(相反), we’ll feel worse.People’s reactions to crying have a lot to do with the gender(性别)of the person weeping. In the West, it’s ge nerally acceptable for women to be seen crying. In Britain boys are taught not to cry. Even though people are becoming more enlightened about tears, crying in males is still viewed as a sign of weakness. Philip Hodson, an expert on male emotions (情绪), has a different viewpoint. “In truth, crying isn’t weakness; it’s a relaxation system,” he says. “If we don’t use this system, we’re not being very intelligent.” After all, everybody cries.28.What can be learned about the act of crying from the statistics?A.Everyone, regardless of gender, cries.B.Some people never cry.C.Women often cry for no reason at all.D.Men actually cry more than women.29.Which is the opinion of therapist Judith Kay Nelson?A.The act of crying has a calming effect on all of us.B.Parents shouldn’t rush to calm their baby when it cries.C.The way we view crying is shaped by our childhood experience.D.Parents’ responses to a crying baby will determine its personality type.30.What is said about crying making a person feel better?A.It is completely false.B.It is dependent on a person’s age.C.It is true only for men.D.It is influenced by others’ responses.31.What can we infer about Western cultures from the last paragraph?A.Only intelligent people can relax by crying.B.Crying is still less socially acceptable for males than females.C.Males are now encouraged to express their emotions through crying by their parents.D.British people consider it unhealthy to keep feelings bottled up inside.DLaptop computers are popular throughout the world. People use them on trains and airplanes,in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years,each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However,the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to usecomputers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all! Because of the many changes in computer technology,laptop use in higher education,such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful,they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition,the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities,too. At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said,“Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”32.Why is the word “speak” in the second paragraph in quotation marks(引号)?A.None of the above reasons is correct.B.They use the computer language.ptops have speakers.D.They don't really talk.33.The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to________.A.access the Internete for their schoolworkC.work at homeD.connect them to libraries34.Which of the following is TRUE about Westlake College?A.All teachers use computers.B.1,500 students have laptops.C.It is an old college in America.D.Students there can do everything.35.A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can________.A.get information from around the worldB.travel around the worldC.attend lectures on information technologyD.have free laptops笫二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

一、现代文阅读(36分)(一)论述类文本阅读(本题共3小题，9分)阅读下面的文字，完成1-3题。

唐代文学繁荣的原因很多，有些时代条件是难以复制的。

但之所以能达到高峰，也有文人们的自觉努力，其中有些因素仍然值得当代文艺工作者思考。

一代文人为时代而创作的使命感是文学高峰形成的前提。

唐代文人们在不同时期都能将个人和国家命运联系在一起，有为时代而创作的责任感。

例如初盛唐是走向兴盛的时期，文人们对时代和人生进行自觉的思考，将欣逢盛世的自豪感和自信心转化为积极进取的精神和乐观的情怀，创作出充分体现时代风貌的优秀作品。

李白在《古风》其一中写道：“圣代复元古，垂衣贵清真。

群才属休明，乘运共跃鳞。

文质相炳焕，众星罗秋旻。

我志在删述，垂辉映千春……”他认为开元年间复兴了尧舜的太平之世，才子们纷纷乘此时运，各展才能，写出文质兼备的诗歌，自己更是希望著述照耀千秋。

而在安史之乱中，杜甫处于家国兴亡的危急关头，则写下大量忧国忧民的传世名作。

中唐时期，社会危机重重，白居易提出“文章合为时而著，歌诗合为事而作”，以许多讽喻诗广泛触及中唐各种政治问题反映现实的深度和力度都是后人所不能企及的。

文学高峰的形成与文学风气、文学形式大力变革有关。

以诗歌来说，齐梁陈隋时期诗风浮靡，唐朝从开国之初就将政治革新和文风革新联系在一起。

从初唐到盛唐，诗歌经历过三次重要革新。

其主要方向是提倡诗歌文质兼备，发扬比兴寄托的风雅传统，肃清浮华绮丽的文风。

2019-2020学年成都市双流县棠湖中学高三英语期末考试试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项APeople in the Middle Ages did eat with their hands. Personal utensils (餐具) were mostly unheard of, especially forks. There were spoons to help serve, but only special guests would receive a knife from the host. Everyone else would be expected to bring their own. Of course, eating with one's hands can be quite a sticky situation, so towels were provided to help diners stay at least somewhat clean as they ate.Still, dining was often a messy affair. At special occasions in the wealthiest households, women tended to dine alone, separate from the men. Women were expected to uphold a quality of grace. Eating greasy meat by hand would certainly not help! Once the men and women had finished their meals, they would come together to socialize.Dietary scholars of the Middle Ages believed that the foods in a meal needed to be served and eaten in order of heaviness. The lightest and most easily digested foods, such as fruits and cheeses, were eaten first to help the digestive (消化) system get started. Once digestion was underway, greens and light meats, such as lettuce, cabbage and chicken, could be eaten. Last came the heavier vegetables and meats, such as carrots, beans, beef, pork, and mutton. This method was considered the most healthful way to eat.The main and largest meal of the day was supper, and it was eaten at midday. Dinner was a light meal, and many of those in nobility (贵族) -the highest levels of the Middle Ages society-skipped breakfast altogether. Breakfast was considered unnecessary for those who did not perform physical work. Snacks and any other eating during the day were viewed the same way. Commoners, or the working class, were allowed to eat breakfast and small meals throughout the day.1. What did people in the Middle Ages usually do at the dinner table?A. They cleaned hands before meals.B. They used personal utensils.C. They had to use knives at dinner.D. They ate mostly with hands.2. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The order of eating foods.B. The weight of various foods.C. The principles of digesting foods.D. The list of healthy foods.3. Why did the nobility avoid eating breakfast?A. Breakfast was wasted for the nobility.B. Breakfast was viewed as unnecessary.C. Breakfast was considered as a light meal.D. Breakfast was saved for commoners.BAs is commonly known,Antarcticais an icy continent with extreme environment. However, a new study provides evidence that the area had a rainforest in the past.The researchers collected a piece of Earth sediment from under the seafloor off the coast ofAntarctica. In the sediment, they discovered forest material that was estimated to be about 90 million years old. At that period, dinosaurs were the ruler animals of the land.Johann Klages, a German geologist, was the lead writer of a study on the findings, published in the journalNature. He said the sediment was collected from a depth of about 30 meters below the ocean floor. Klages said an examination showed that the material didn’t form in the ocean.The researchers estimate that the area — about 900 kilometers from the South Pole — had average yearly temperatures of about12°Cto13°C. The soil included fine dirt particles and hard clay, as well as substances linked to at least 65 different kinds of plants, the study found. Although no animal remains were found, Klages said there were likely dinosaurs, flying reptiles and many insects in the environment.The research represents new evidence of the major climate changes Earth experienced in the past — and is currently undergoing today. The soil in the sediment dates back to the planet’s warmest period of the past 140 million years, with sea level about 170 meters higher than today. The researchers said that the rainforest environment inAntarcticawas especially surprising because each year, the area experiences a four-month polar night when there is no sunlight to fuel plant life. Klages said no ice sheets were present during the time, but seasonal snowfall was likely.4. What can we learn about the sediment collected?A. It formed in the age of dinosaurs.B. It was found on theAntarcticaland.C. Ancient forest material was found in it.D. Some dinosaur remains were found in it.5. How did the researchers reach their findings?A. By analyzing the Earth sediment.B. By exploring ice inAntarctica.C. By collecting data on climate.D. By researching special plants.6. What can be indicated in the last paragraph?A. Seasonal snowfall made the forest disappear.B. Antarctica was much colder 140 million years ago.C. Antarctica’s natural environment has changed greatly.D. Polar nights inAntarcticaare getting shorter than before.7. What is the main idea of the text?A. Rainforest disappeared fromAntarctica.B. Antarctica had a different history of climate.C. Researchers studied a piece of Earth sediment ofAntarctica.D.Antarcticahad an extreme environment containing ice and snow.CJose Hernandez made his dream of becoming an astronaut a reality and he did so despite unbelievable difficulties“I was workingin a field near Stockton, and I heard on my radio that Franklin Chang-Diaz had been selected for the Astronaut Corps," said Jose, who was a senior in high school at the timed was already interested in science and engineering, Jose remembered, "but that was the moment I said, "I want to fly in space.' "As one of four children in a migrant（移民）farming family from Mexico, Jose - who didn't learn English until he was 12 years old - spent much of his childhood traveling with his family from Mexico to southern California each March, then working northward to the Stockton area by November, picking strawberries and cucumbers at farms along the route.

It wasn't until the 12th time that I got selected, he said. Jose was selected as part of the 19th class of astronauts in 2004.

However when a British couple, Jessica and Edward, flew to Crete, they found themselves attracting a lot of attention after coming across a large sum of money in the street.At first, their Crete vacation hadn't been anything outside of the norm. However, it was as they were exploring the souvenir shops that everything changed. The couple were just walking down the street when Jessica suddenly kicked something lying on the ground. It looked a bit like a make-up bag and so they assumed that someone had lost it.Without hesitation, Jessica picked up the bag and opened it. She was shocked to see a lot of money in it-a total of 7,100 Euros. There was probably a lot they could do with all that money. However, the couple didn't have it in them to steal what belonged to someone else. Going to the police was the first thought that came to mind when Jessica saw the money. She didn't consider that there was any other choice, so the couple handed over themoney to the local police.The police found the owner, an elderly woman, and informed the couple that the woman wanted to meet them. When they eventually met at the police station, the woman was so overcome with emotion that she wouldn't stop hugging and blessing them, although they insisted they were just doing the right thing.News of what the couple had done quickly made its way around the island. The locals wanted to show them their gratitude. This included receiving free taxi rides and even an offer to have their hotel room upgraded. The couple appreciated the kindness, but it was all getting to be a bit too much. They just wanted to have a normal vacation.They are probably hoping that they fly a little more under the radar during their next vacation. There's only so much attention that these two lovebirds can handle.12. What is the first reaction of the couple after finding the money?A. They decided to do all with that money.B. They bought something in souvenir shops.C. They turned it over to the local police station.D. They tried to look for the owner by themselves.13.

But Alma, who lives in Dorking, England, has made one very special achievement. She has composed a full opera and brought it to the stage. Her opera, a retelling of Cinderella (灰姑娘), premiered (首次演出) in December 2016, in Vienna, Austria.“I’ve loved Cinderella since I was 3,” Alma said. But she felt the story needed an improvement. “I didn’t like the thing about the shoe,” she says. “Why should the prince find her because of her feet?”In Alma’s version (版本), Cinderella is a composer. She creates a melody (旋律) that she sings to the prince before fleeing the ball. “He remembers the beginning but not how it went on,” Alma says. The prince realizes that only Cinderella would know how the melody continues. He uses that knowledge to find her.Alma began writing the opera when she was 8. It premiered on December 29, 2016, and the audience stood up and cheered. Alma played the piano and violin and performed in the show. “It was something that was completely inside my head, in my imagination, and then it came to life,” Alma says.Alma says she is sure that music will remain a major part of her life. “I have lots of things that I want to compose,”she says. “The first one is a piano concerto (协奏曲). Then I’m writing a novel, and I want to write a movie based on it, and the music for that.”She also has advice for kids who want to achieve their big dreams. “It’s a lot of work to reach a highlevel,” Alma says. “But if you love what you are doing, it doesn’t feel like hard work. Don’t let anyone stop you from doing it.”24．What does the author mostly want to tell us about Alma Deutscher in Paragraph 1?A．She is a cute girl.

In the end ,I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise ho w could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (坚忍不拔的), by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a whil e. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.28．The writer argued with his son because ______________.A．he liked tortoises while his son liked haresB．they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolishC．he tried to teach his son a moral (品德) lesson but the son had totally different opinionD．he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn’t.29．Sonny believed that the tortoise ______________.A．won the race by his own hard workingB．took a risk by agreeing to run a raceC．was not given a fair chance in the raceD．in fact did win the race luckily30．Billy, Tony and Sandy must be_______________.A．boys who were unknown to Sonny’s fatherB．boys who Sonny has run races with beforeC．boys who Sonny has never raced with beforeD．boys who Sonny did not expect to race with again31．According to the passage, who do you think learnt a lesson?A．The tortoise B．SonnyC．The hare D．Sonny’s fatherDMaking beers on the moon might seem like a pipe dream to many, but for a group of students from the University of California at San Diego, there is a chance to take their research beyond Earth’s surface.The Lab2Moon competition, held by TeamIndus, is offering students the chance to secure a spot on the TeamIndus rocket this year.Taking craft beer to the next level, the students want to test whether it’s possible for yeast(酵母) to work and create beer on the moon. However, they believe the experiment is not just a creative concept for astronauts, it’s also important for the development of drugs and yeast-containing food, like bread.“The idea started out with a few laughs among a group of friends,” said Neeki Ashari, a fifth-year bioengineering students at UC San Diego. “We all appreciate the craft beer. Wh en we heard that there was an opportunity to design an experiment that would go up on India’s moonlander, w e thought we could combine our hobby with the competition by focusing on the practicality of yeast in outer space.”The preparation work for the beer — up to the stage of adding yeast — will all be done on Earth, and rather than separating the fermentation ( 发酵) and carbonation stage of making beer, the team plans to combine them.This removes the need to release CO2 accumulated in the process, which may result in cleanliness and safety issues out in space.If selected, Team Original Gravity will be the first to make beer in outer space, and the fermentation will take place in a container no bigger than a soda can.All teams competing for the place will showcase their ideas in Bangalore, India, in March.Sadly, you won’t be enjoying moon beer in your local craft beer bar anytime soon, as no samples will be brought back. However, this small experiment could provide important data on just how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources on other planets and moons by learning how consumables (消耗品) behave in different environments.32．How did the students feel when they got the chance to design the experiment ?A．Excited. B．Nervous.C．Confident. D．Casual.33．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A．The mixing of two stages. B．Adding yeast on Earth.C．The preparation work on Earth. D．Fermentation and carbonation.34．What can we learn about the experiment from the passage?A．It has been designed based on similar experiments.B．It’s quite competitive compared with other designs.C．It’s design has already been approved by TeamIndus.D．Its process was adapted to make it safer and greener.35．What does the author think of the st udents ’ idea?A．It seems like a pipe dream. B．It’s extremely complicated.C．It’s meaningful and hopeful.D．It’s creative but impractical.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Here are some simple suggestions which help you make new friends a lot easier.Try speaking to the people next to you in class. As they’re close by, it makes sense to communicate with them first.Have courage to speak to everyone in your class.

Listen carefully to what others have to say so as to make them feel important.As you grow older, it’s natural to make new friends and sometimes that means you grow apart from your old friends. So try and make time for all your friends. Why not introduce your different sets of friends so you can all go to the cinema or bowling together?But what if a friendship group is pushing you out?

Cooksey had left the engine running and the door unlocked.“When I saw my truck door open, I was like, ‘Oh my God, what am I going to tell my wife?’” Cooksey said.His son, Larry, was sitting in the back seat. “As soon as he opened the door, I got frightened,” said Larry. “So I pulled out the gun and pointed it to his head.”This was enough to make the carjacker think twice and he jumped out of the truck to try another car. Parked beside Cooksey’s truck was Kyle Sparling’s black Trailblazer. He too had left the engine running as he went into the store. The man got in Sparling’s SUV and took of f.“I didn’t know what to think, I just kind of ran outside and watched him,” said Sparling.As the man sped off, Cooksey told Sparling to get into his truck and the two men began to run after him. The icy winter conditions made the driving difficult, but the pair followed at a safe distance as the carjacker drove in a “Z” way. After a few miles, the carjacker knocked into the sign of a local business, American Tool and Party Rental. Cooksey and Sparling called police to the place.The police put 32-year-ol d Ollie Dunn into prison. Sparling’s car was damaged in the wheel, and the windscreen got cracked after the sign fell on it. “I was just glad he didn’t knock into anybody,” Sparling said. “That was my biggest fear, I think.”4．How did Larry stop the carjacker?A．He hit him with a gun.

The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.“You are employed,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.”The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an e-mail.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager. “If you don’t have an e-mail, that means you do not exist. And a person who doesn’t exist cannot have the job.”The man left with no hope at all. With only ten dollars in his pocket, he decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.The man realized that he could survive in this way, and started to go every day early, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商人) in the US.He started to plan his family’s future and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker (经纪人) and chose a protection plan.When the conversation ended, the broker asked him his e-mail. The man replied, “I don’t have an e-mail.”The broker answered surprisingly, ‘‘You don’t have an e-mail, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?” The man thought for a while and rep lied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”8．Why couldn’t the man have the job at Microsoft?A．Because he was lazy.

They are those adults who still live at home and are neither working nor studying. But the problem is not limited to Spain. It is a worldwide problem.In Italy, they are known as “bamboccioni” or big babies. There nearly 60 percent of18-34-year-old adults still live in their parents’ home, up from almost 50 percent since 1983. Once kept there by the love for their mama’s home-cooked food, the economic crisis（经济危机）has seen a rise in adults left unable to hold down a steady job or afford a home of their own. Last year, an Italian government minister admitted that his mother washed his clothes and made the bed for him until he was 30. He demanded a law forcing young Italians to leave their parents’ home at 18 to stop them becoming hopelessly dependent on their parents.In the UK, the government has made the term NEETS---not in employment, education or training for these children. In England alone the percent of NEETS aged 19-24 surged to 18.8 percent of the age group-in the last quarter of 2010, up 1.4 percent on the same period a year before. The number of British men in their 20s living with their parents has risen from 59 percent to 80 percent in the past 15 years, while the number of women has risen from 41percent to 50 percent. The average age of the first-time house buyers is now 38.In the US, the problem is known as the “full nest syndrome（综合症）”. Adults there areleft struggling to support adult children who have stayed at home with student debts and facing few job opportunities in a weak economy. A recent study showed almost a third of American adults aged 34 and under are living with their parents12．“Big babies” mentioned in Paragraph 2 refers to those adults who ______.A．are poorly educated B．are not as smart as othersC．lose their job in the bad economy D．depend on their parents for a living 13．The Italian government minister thinks that ______.A．parents should make their children feel hopelessB．young people should live on their own after18C．parents should never make the bed for their childrenD．it is OK for adult children to live with their parents14．The underlined word “surged” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by ______.A．jumped B．reducedC．recovered D．moved15．What does the last paragraph tell us? ______A．Some American adult children are causing trouble for their parentsB．American parents are happy to live with their childrenC．America has the most adult children compared with other countriesD．It is a tradition for adult children to live with their parents in America二、七选五Would you know what to do if a fire started in your home? Take the time now to review the following safety tips, and your family will be prepared in time of a fire in your home:16．An escape plan can help every member of a family get out of a burning house. The idea is to get outside quickly and safely. 17．So it is important to learn and remember the different ways out of your home.Stay lowIf you can see smoke in the house, stay low to the ground as you make your way to the exit. 18．You will breathe less smoke if you stay to the ground. Smoke naturally rises, so if there is smoke while you are using your escape route，staying low means you can crawl (爬) undermost of it.What if y ou can’t get out right away?If you can’t get out fast because fire or smoke is stopping an escape route, you will want to yell for help. You can do this from an open window or call 911 if you have a phone with you. 19．Then, firefighters will have a hard time finding you. The sooner they find you, the sooner you both can get out.If your clothes catch fire, what should you do?Your clothes could catch fire during a fire or by accident if you step too close to a candle. If this happens, don’t run! Instead, stop, drop to the ground, cover your face with your hands, and roll. This will cut off the air and put out the flames. 20．A．An easy way to remember this is: Stop, Drop, and Roll!B．Smoke from a fire can make it hard to see where things are.C．Preventing fires is in the first place!D．Know your way outE.They will help prepare you for what you need to do in case of a fire.F.Even if you are scared, never hide under the bed or in a closet.G.In a fire, smoke and poisonous (有毒的) air hurt more people, than the actual flames (火焰) do.三、完形填空The year my dad turned 80, my brother and I decided to throw a surprise party for him.
