it that parents relationships may suffer once their young fly the coop，because they feel they have lost their purpose in life.However，a new study by researchers at the University of California，Berkeley，has found that many couples actually feel happier when their children leave home because they are able to enjoy spending time together.In total,123 American mothers born in the 1930s were tracked for 18 years and asked to rate their satisfaction levels shortly after marrying，when they were bringing up babies，once their children reached their teenage years and finally at age 61，when almost all had “empty nests”Although not all said they were happier in general，most claimed their marriages had improved since their children had left home.Researchers believe this is not just because the spouses were spending more time together，but because they were able to enjoy each others company more.One of the participants in the study，which is published in the journal Psychological Science，said：“Once the kids grow up.theres some of that stress removed.that responsibility removed，so things are a little more relaxed.”Psychologist Sara Gorchoff，who carried out the investigation，said：“The take­home message for couples with young children is hang in there” Her co­author Oliver John added：“Dont wait until your kids leave home to schedule quality time with your partner.”However，Dr Dorothy Rowe，from the British Psychological Society，said the effects of living in an “empty nest” will depend on the parents relationship with their children.“If youre just waiting for them to leave home so you can get on with your life，then of course youll be pleased to see them go，” she said，“But if youve built your life around your children youll be terribly lonely.For some parents，their world falls apart when their children leave.”1It is commonly believed that_.Amarriages improve after children leave homeBan “empty nest” is always a happy thingCparents relationships may suffer once their young grow up and move outDparents will be pleased after their children leave home2When did many couples feel happier according to the study?AAt age 61，when almost all had “empty

spend time togetherBmany couples are able to enjoy each others companyCthings are a little more relaxedDmany couples neednt work at all4The author of the passage tends to agree that_.Aparents should build their life around their kidsBparents should schedule quality time with each other before kids leave homeCparents relationship with their kids has no effect on marriages at allDparents should be pleased to see their kids leave home.單項(xiàng)填空1D由上句可知乘客要十點(diǎn)前到達(dá)浦東機(jī)場(chǎng)，根據(jù)答語(yǔ)后句“但是我不能保證”，可知司機(jī)說(shuō)“我會(huì)盡力的”(Ill do my best)。I have no idea我不知道；No problem沒(méi)問(wèn)題；Its scary真令人害怕。2Acatch fire著火；set fire to放火。句意為：那間房子昨晚著火了。據(jù)說(shuō)是有人故意放的火。3Cstrength力氣；power力量，權(quán)力；force武力；spirit精神。句意為：那天走了25公里之后，我連移動(dòng)雙腳的力氣幾乎都沒(méi)有了。4Dan idea occurred to sb.an idea struck sb.，意為“某人想起了一個(gè)好主意”。句意為：我突然想起了一個(gè)好主意，我可以用零花錢為父親買條領(lǐng)帶。5Afurniture家具，為不可數(shù)名詞，用that代替，此處表特指。it指物時(shí)，是明確地指上文所提到的那個(gè)事物。句意為：你注意到了嗎？這個(gè)房間的家具與你房間的家具完全不同。6C此處為動(dòng)詞­ing形式作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)。不定式常表示預(yù)料之外的結(jié)果，而動(dòng)詞­ing形式常表示預(yù)料之中的結(jié)果。句意為：大雨連續(xù)下了四天，把我們的假期都?xì)Я恕?Btake off去掉；take in吸收；put out撲滅；give out發(fā)出，放出。句意為：當(dāng)他按時(shí)完成了任務(wù)時(shí)，他感到去掉一件大心事。8Akill表示的動(dòng)作發(fā)生在decided之前，即“過(guò)去的過(guò)去”，且與主語(yǔ)parents之間是動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，因此用過(guò)去完成時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。9Cexperience作“經(jīng)驗(yàn)”講時(shí)，通常用做不可數(shù)名詞(沒(méi)有復(fù)數(shù)形式，也不能與不定冠詞連用)；當(dāng)它作“經(jīng)歷”講時(shí)，是個(gè)可數(shù)名詞，有復(fù)數(shù)形式，也可與不定冠詞連用。10B根據(jù)對(duì)話可以知道回答者對(duì)解釋原因的人很不滿意。因此要用“借口”表達(dá)不相信或陳述內(nèi)容不客觀。11B此句是when the great man was asked about his success的省略形式，當(dāng)主、從句主語(yǔ)一致，而且從句中含有be動(dòng)詞時(shí)，可以省去從句中的主語(yǔ)和be動(dòng)詞。12A考查代詞。本句中it作形式賓語(yǔ)，代替后面的不定式。13Drefer to談到，涉及，此處是過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)作problem的后置定語(yǔ)。系動(dòng)詞is的主語(yǔ)是problem。14D提問(wèn)做某事的頻率用how often；on average意為“平均來(lái)說(shuō)”。15D第一空“Is there any possibility.？”意為“有的可能性嗎？”第二空用that引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句。.完形填空1Athink of.as.是固定短語(yǔ)，意為“把視為/看做”。2B句意為：我對(duì)情人節(jié)的記憶最早是從我六歲那年開(kāi)始的。依據(jù)下文的描述可知，作者對(duì)這個(gè)情人節(jié)的記憶特別深刻，所以用magic來(lái)描述那種難以忘懷的感覺(jué)。3D卡片上有父親的簽名。該選項(xiàng)從第三段第一句中的“included a.card signed Love，Dad”可得到提示。4C禮物是一個(gè)戒指，上面鑲著一片紅色的玻璃來(lái)代表我的誕生石紅寶石。其他選項(xiàng)不符合語(yǔ)境。5B依據(jù)下文的with pride可知，該處用little。對(duì)一個(gè)六歲的孩子而言，紅玻璃和紅寶石沒(méi)有什么不同。6C表示佩戴首飾只能用wear。7A上文提及作者佩戴這個(gè)禮物時(shí)的自豪之情，所以這里選A，認(rèn)為這是最好的，世界上所有的卡片都不能超過(guò)它。8Das在此處引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，意為“隨著”。9B隨著我年齡的增加，禮物變成裝滿了我最喜愛(ài)的巧克力的心形盒子。give way to是固定短語(yǔ)，意為“為所代替”。10A該題可采用排除法，修飾巧克力不能用“可愛(ài)的；親愛(ài)的；寶貴的”，但可以用“最喜愛(ài)的”。11D父親的卡片是特殊的，特別的。12C該處語(yǔ)境為“而我的感謝越來(lái)越成為一種敷衍的回應(yīng)”。從上下文可知，此處是與以前相對(duì)比。13A這些賀卡看起來(lái)似乎不再那么重要。14B我想當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為情人節(jié)年年都有。正是如此，才有了后文的不珍惜及上文提及的說(shuō)感謝的話也成了敷衍的回應(yīng)。15C我把希望和夢(mèng)想放在收到那些來(lái)自“重要的其他人”的卡片和禮物上。place意為“(小心或有意)放置，安放”，用在此處能反映出作者當(dāng)時(shí)對(duì)父親的愛(ài)的漠視。16B來(lái)自父親的賀卡似乎遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠(滿足女兒的需要)。與上文的from “significant others”相照應(yīng)。17D父親送我的最后一張卡片在提醒著我：父親對(duì)子女的愛(ài)是多么特別又是多么重要?？吹礁赣H的卡片，就想起了父親和卡片的意義，所以這張卡片具有“提示”的功能，故選D。18A由上文可知，父親一直都在這么做，所以用tradition(傳統(tǒng))。19B句意為：這些事情永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)消逝，就如同我對(duì)一位男子的記憶，他永遠(yuǎn)是我的情人。這句話表達(dá)了女兒對(duì)父親永遠(yuǎn)的懷念。die在此表“消逝”。20Dstop doing sth.停止做某事，符合語(yǔ)境。stop與上文提及的兩個(gè)never正好照應(yīng)。.閱讀理解【語(yǔ)篇解讀】孩子們長(zhǎng)大了，飛出去了，擁擠但卻溫馨的家庭一下子變得空蕩蕩的。那么我們的父母會(huì)不會(huì)因孤獨(dú)而心煩，整天吵個(gè)不停呢？1C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。由第二段第一句話可知，人們普遍認(rèn)為，當(dāng)他們的小孩長(zhǎng)大離家之后，父母因失去了生活的目的，關(guān)系會(huì)變得緊張，所以C項(xiàng)正確。2A考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。由第三、四段可知，他們對(duì)123位美國(guó)母親追蹤調(diào)查了18年，讓她們分別說(shuō)出她們?cè)趧偨Y(jié)婚后、初為人母時(shí)、孩子十來(lái)歲時(shí)和她們61歲時(shí)(也就是空巢之后)的幸福度。她們普遍反映，孩子離家之后她們的婚姻關(guān)系提高了。3D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段最后半句話可排除B項(xiàng)；根據(jù)第五段可排除A、C兩項(xiàng)；故D項(xiàng)為本題答案。4B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。由倒數(shù)第二段最后一句話可知，不要等到孩子都離家之后才來(lái)規(guī)劃和你愛(ài)人高質(zhì)量的生活。
