33、er know more new places.解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的.giving them a closer relationship.可知,Garza搬去和晚辈同住后,他们的关系更亲密了,这与A项的表述“这加强了她的家庭关系”相吻合,故选A项。B、C、D三项表述的内容在文中未提及。答案:A2What was the reaction of the public to Mrs.Robinsons decision?A17% expressed their support for it.BFew people responded sympathetically.C83% belie
34、ved it had a bad influence.DThe majority thought it was a trend.解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的.83 percent of the people said Mrs.Robinsons decision will influence grandparents in the American family.可知,83%的人认为Mrs.Robinson的决定将影响美国家庭的祖父母,但没说这有不好的影响,故排除C项;由此句也可判断出,17%的人对她的决定是持反对意见或是保持中立态度,而不是支持,故排除A项;根据第二段中的Twothird
35、s believe more families will follow the example of Obamas family.可知,三分之二的人认为更多的家庭将效仿奥巴马的家庭,由此可知它将成为一种趋势,故选D项,同时排除B项。答案:D3What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?AThey were unsure of themselves.BThey were eager to raise more children.CThey wanted to live away from their parents.DThey had little
36、 respect for their grandparents.解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldnt get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own.可知,在20世纪60年代,人们都有点儿狂野,急于“远走高飞”来证明自己的能力,这与C项的表述“他们想远离父母生活”相吻合,故选C项。A、B、D三项表述的内容在文中未提及。答案:C4What does the author suggest
37、the grandparents do in the last paragraph?AMake decisions in the best interests of their own.BAsk their children to pay more visits to them.CSacrifice for their struggling children.DGet to know themselves better.解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Moving is not for everyone.以及it is wiser to say no and visit frequently
38、可知,作者建议老年人从自己的利益出发,做出选择,A项的表述与此相吻合。根据visit frequently可知,文中指的是祖父母常去看看晚辈,而不是B项的“让他们的孩子多多探望他们”,故B项表述有误;文中虽然有is willing to make sacrifices和your adult child is struggling,但并不是要让祖父母为晚辈做出牺牲,故C项错误;D项在文中未提及。答案:A第二节完形填空阅读下面的短文,掌握其大意,然后从120题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。(2015课标全国卷)Where do you go when you want to learn
