參考答案一、閱讀理解【答案】14BCBD【解析】1．B定位首段末句由“Todayallthreegenerationsregardthemoveasuccess,givingthemacloserrelationshipthantheywouldhavehadinseparatecities”可知這是因?yàn)樗訌?qiáng)了她的家庭關(guān)系。答案為B。2．C定位第二段，由“83percentofthepeoplesaidMrs.Robinson’sdecisionwillinfluencegrandparentsintheAmericanfamily.”可知，約83%的人認(rèn)為Mrs.Robinson的決定會(huì)影響美國(guó)的很多祖父母，說明不是17%而是83%的人支持，排除A；B選項(xiàng)文中未提及；83%的人支持，說明認(rèn)為有很壞影響的人占的比例不可能超過17%；C選項(xiàng)符合文意。3．B由第三段首句“Inthe1960swewereallalittlewildandcouldn’tgetawayfromhomefarenough,fastenoughtoprovewecoulddoitonourown”可推斷20世紀(jì)60年代的時(shí)候，人們想要離開家去證明自己的能力但現(xiàn)實(shí)并不允許，心里其實(shí)是想離開家的，B選項(xiàng)正確。4．D由最后一段可知有時(shí)候?qū)ψ娓改竵碚f，和孩子孫子們住在一起并非就是好的選擇，反而不住在一起而是頻繁去探訪子孫會(huì)更好，因?yàn)檫@樣就不需要改變祖父母自己熟知的生活方式，由此可推測(cè)出作者的建議祖父母是否搬去和子孫一起住最好從祖父母的需求出發(fā)，選擇D。【答案】1．in2．dangerous3．directions4．stands5．a(chǎn)s6．death7．hadhad/had8．tolive9．taking10．it【解析】1．固定搭配：inbadcondition狀態(tài)惡劣，可知答案為in。2．形容詞修飾名詞，答案為dangerous。3．根據(jù)句意：兩輛車來自相反的方向，可知用名詞復(fù)數(shù)，答案為directions。4．此句是全部倒裝，句子是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)，主語是aman，單數(shù)第三人稱，故答案為stands。5．根據(jù)句意：使我們驚訝的是，一個(gè)男人帶著一個(gè)通知牌站在路的拐彎處，一邊是紅色，另一邊是綠色，充當(dāng)一名志愿者，可知答案為as。6．根據(jù)句意：多虧了他，死亡率已經(jīng)下降，可知用名詞形式，答案為death。7．根據(jù)句意：
