7、on, unemployment and womens safety.As a Gen Zer yourself, what is your plan for the future?【解题导语】Z一代是指在1995年和2010年之间出生的人，这一代人在消费方面比较理智。他们比我们想象中更理性、务实，他们对未来有清晰的设想，这颠覆了人们对年轻人的传统看法。1What do the underlined words “this stereotype” in paragraph 2 refer to?ABeing young is good.BGen Zers are born after 1995
8、.CThe traditional poor impressions on the youth.DThe associations with young people.C解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段第二、三句可知，社会更关注与年轻人相关的负面情况，通常，年轻人被认为是懒散的和难相处的。结合画线部分所在句可知，此处表述这种刻板印象不再适用于Z一代。故画线部分指的是上文提到的人们对年轻人的传统的、糟糕的印象，故选C。2We can infer from the third paragraph that _AGen Zers in Japan are pickyBGen Zers are selfc
9、enteredCGen Zers care little about productsDGen Zers are wise when shoppingD解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的内容，尤其是“Gen Zers are less likely to buy on impulse.Theyre looking at the companies, not just the products”可知，Z一代不太可能冲动购物，他们会更多地考虑产品的真正价值，由此可推知，Z一代在购物时是明智的，故正确答案为D。A项意为“日本的Z一代很挑剔”，第三段是讲述日本的Z一代在消费中很理性，并无信息表明他们挑剔。
10、3Whats DSteve Bolands attitude to the Gen Zers?AApproving.BNegative.CIndifferent. DCritical.A解析：观点态度题。根据题干中的关键词D.Steve Boland定位到文章第五段，根据该段内容可知，D.Steve Boland认为尽管Z一代很年轻，但这代人务实且积极地规划他们的未来，他们有清晰的设想并愿意努力去实现它；由此可推知，D.Steve Boland对于Z一代是持赞同的态度的，故正确答案为A。【难句分析】According to a recent survey by Bank of America,
11、 more than half of young adults aged between 18 and 23 said they were planning to buy a house within five years.分析：According to a recent survey by Bank of America是介词短语作状语；主句主语是more than half of young adults，谓语是said; they were planning to buy a house within five years是省略了that的宾语从句，作said的宾语。译文：根据最近美国银
12、行所做的一项调查，一半以上的18岁到23岁的年轻人说他们正计划在五年之内买房子。BChildren in rural areas of Cambodia often suffer from or even die of preventable illnesses because there is not any soap available.In 2014, Samir Lakhani, an American college student, saw the issue while volunteering in a Cambodian village.“I remember quite v
13、ividly a mother bathing her newborn baby with laundry powder, which is so harmful to the skin，” said Lakhani.“Its difficult for rural Cambodians to access soap. First is affordability. If you earn only $1.50 every day, you wont spend $1 on a bar of soap. Then comes access. The demand is so low that
14、local shops dont stock soap. The last reason, because many Cambodians dont really understand where diseases come from, they dont know how to prevent them, including using soap.”After figuring out a solution to the problem: the barely used soap in hotels, Lakhani started asking hotels to donate lefto
15、ver soap.“They were all eager to help，” he explained.Lakhani registered EcoSoap Bank shortly afterwards. Soon, he received enough funds to hire disadvantaged Cambodian women to collect and reproduce the used soap.Today, the organization has four recycling centers across the country, providing jobs t
16、o 35 local women. And so far, some 174，000 bars of soap have been donated, about 24，000 pounds of soap has been recycled, and hygiene(卫生) has been improved for about 661，000 people.“We are killing_three_birds with one stone，” Lakhani said.When it comes to the future of EcoSoap Bank, Lakhani said，“We

Were looking at seven countries to expand to in the near future.”【解题导语】柬埔寨农村地区的孩子经常遭受甚至死于可预防的疾病，因为没有任何可用的肥皂；美国人Samir Lakha
18、ni注意到了这个问题，于是他开始请求旅馆捐赠肥皂并成立了EcoSoap Bank来解决该地区的肥皂问题。4Which of the following is not mentioned as the reason why rural Cambodians dont use soap?APoverty. BInaccessibility.CUnawareness. DTradition.D解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“affordability”“access”以及“many Cambodians dont really understand where diseases come from
19、, they dont know how to prevent them”可知，贫困、缺少接触途径以及缺乏意识是柬埔寨人很少用肥皂的原因。故选D。5What does the underlined part “killing three birds” in paragraph 5 refer to?ASaving soap, curing diseases and providing education.BStopping pollution, providing jobs and inspiring donation.CReducing waste, providing employment
20、 and improving health.DRecycling waste, helping charity and improving community hygiene.C解析：推理判断题。根据第五段中的“four recycling centers”和“providing jobs”以及“hygiene(卫生) has been improved”可知，“killing three birds”在文章中指的是减少废物、提供就业机会以及改进健康状况。故选C。6What can we infer about EcoSoap Bank?AIt wont be long before it e
21、xpands to the whole world.BTheres little it can do without other countries assistance.CIt will make greater contributions to the developing world.DIt will soon settle the problem of poor hygiene in Cambodia.C解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容尤其是最后一句“Were looking at seven countries to expand to in the near future.”可
22、知，EcoSoap Bank将会把自己的服务扩展到其他七个发展中国家。由此可推知，EcoSoap Bank将对发展中国家作出更大贡献。故选C。根据最后一段中的“The demand for improved hygiene in the developing world is huge, and much remains to be done.”可知，该组织主要是改进发展中国家的卫生状况，并没有扩展到全世界，故A项错误；文章没有提到B、D两项所表述的内容。7What do we know about the text?AEcoSoap Bank helps improve hygiene.BC
23、ambodian women have a bright future.CA US young man calls for helping poor countries.DLack of hygiene remains a serious problem in the world.A解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了EcoSoap Bank能为柬埔寨乡村地区的人提供肥皂，从而改善那里的卫生状况，故A项正确。文章第五段只提到了35位当地妇女获得工作，故B项以偏概全；本文主要讲述美国人Samir Lakhani成立了EcoSoap Bank来帮助解决柬埔寨的肥皂问题，未提到他呼吁帮助一些贫
24、困国家，故C项不符合题意；文章只提到了柬埔寨以及其他发展中国家的卫生问题，故D项不符合题意。.完形填空(2020绍兴诊断性考试)It was 1972, and I was in second grade.
