Unit 5 First Aid一、閱讀理解。The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her parents. All shes ever wanted to do is to bee an elementary school teacher. However, Hipp has racked up(累計(jì)) $100,000 (about 0.67 million yuan) in student loan debt and isnt able to earn enough through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server tolive anywhere other than home.To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of adults who have been moving back in with their parents or never leaving home in the first place has been growing steadily.The Pew Research Center recently reported that 2016 was a milestone in the evolving living arrangements of young adults in the US. Until 2016, the most mon living arrangement for young adults was to be living in their own property as part of a couple. UBS Financial Services, a Swiss global financial services pany, released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesnt want them to leave. The report shows that 74 percent of millennials(千禧一代) get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. Millennials see their parents as peers, friends and mentors(導(dǎo)師). In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them. Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Group in the US, said “Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesnt necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest, he said. “They may like living at home and being able to save money.”He added, “While it has held back household formation and purchases on things, they are probably traveling more and eating out more. I dont know if it represents a change in moral values, its much more mon for adult children to live in their parents homes because its being part of the culture.”1.Whats the purpose of Caitlin Hipps story?A.

Dgifts【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇記敘文，講述了作者的母親喜歡給別人贈(zèng)送禮物來表達(dá)自己的愛意。她用自己的行動(dòng)表達(dá)了愛，傳播了生活的美好。1A根據(jù)空后的“Christmas，birthdays，anniversaries or no occasion at all”可知，母親的給予是不分場合的，即給予的場合不重要。故A項(xiàng)符合語境。2C根據(jù)該句“She was always thinking about who might _2_ what”并結(jié)合常識(shí)可知，送禮物要根據(jù)別人的喜好，所以作者的母親會(huì)想別人喜歡什么。故選C項(xiàng)。3A根據(jù)“She was always thinking about who might _2_ what”和空前的“Creativity”可知，作者的母親經(jīng)常思考，所送的禮物既要有新意又要很體貼。thoughtfulness意為“體貼，關(guān)切”；sympathy意為“同情”；justice意為“公平”； authority意為“權(quán)威”。故選A項(xiàng)。4B根據(jù)第一段的第一句“My mother was a gift giver”可知，作者的母親是一個(gè)給予者；結(jié)合該句中的“Creativity and _3_ went into the gifts she gave，and she_4_ a thankyou note”可知，她很欣賞感謝便條。故B項(xiàng)正確。5C根據(jù)該句中的“Once she sent out notes to her own children and grandchildren who had not acknowledged gifts，_5_ that they were now on herFecal Roster(黑名單)”可知，有一次她給收到禮物卻沒有表達(dá)感謝的孩子和孫子發(fā)了紙條，紙條上說他們現(xiàn)在在她的“黑名單”上。assume意為“假設(shè)”； abuse意為“濫用”；state意為“陳述，說明”；correct意為“糾正”。故選C項(xiàng)。6D根據(jù)該句中的“she had received a proper thank you”并結(jié)合上文可知，母親不會(huì)將孩子們(的名字)從“黑名單”上刪除，直到她收到一句謝謝。故選D項(xiàng)。7A根據(jù)上文可知，作者的母親送禮物的時(shí)候，希望得到一句謝謝。send意為“發(fā)送”；purchase意為“購買”；conduct意為“進(jìn)行”；obtain意為“獲得”。故選A項(xiàng)。8B根據(jù)第一段第二句中的“Christmas，birthdays，anniversaries or no occasion at all”可知，不只是在節(jié)假日，母親在很多情況下都會(huì)準(zhǔn)備禮物；結(jié)合該句中的“shed give you another gift the next_8_ she had”可知，她會(huì)在下一次有機(jī)會(huì)時(shí)贈(zèng)給你另一件禮物。B項(xiàng)意為“機(jī)會(huì)”，符合語境。9B她認(rèn)為沒有禮貌是你的問題，而不是她的問題。得到禮物不回謝應(yīng)該是沒有禮貌的行為，故B項(xiàng)符合語境。10C根據(jù)空后的“all of us would gather in the driveway as they unloaded luggage”可知，作者的父母是開車過去的。drive over意為“驅(qū)車前來”，符合語境，故選C項(xiàng)。11A根據(jù)該句中的“There was always something for the kids”及下文可知，他們總是給孩子們帶一些東西，通常是一些小玩具或者是自制的餅干。故選A項(xiàng)。12C根據(jù)該句中的“a couple of little toys or a big _12_ of homemade cookies”及常識(shí)可知，餅干是放在盒子之類的容器(container)里的。tank意為“(貯放液體或氣體的)箱”，cage意為“籠子”，holder意為“持有者”，均不符合語境。故選C項(xiàng)。13D根據(jù)該句和前一句“They werent gifts for particular occasions”可知，它們不是為特殊場合而準(zhǔn)備的禮物，只是(simply)關(guān)于“難道生活不美好嗎？”的禮物?！癐snt life great？” gifts可以理解為“彰顯生活美好的禮物”。故選D項(xiàng)。14D一個(gè)春天，當(dāng)作者的父母來拜訪時(shí)，母親遞給作者一個(gè)禮物包。結(jié)合第一段中的“My mother was a gift giver”可知，這里指“禮物包”。故選D項(xiàng)。15A根據(jù)空后的“A Special Daughter.Youve.and Love”并結(jié)合該句可知，禮物包里面是一幅畫，畫上寫著下文中的幾句話。read“寫著”，符合語境。16D此處表示，你為我們的生活帶來歡笑和歡樂，對我們的愛如此之深。由常識(shí)可知，此處表示孩子為父母帶來歡聲笑語。故選D項(xiàng)。17B根據(jù)該句中的“The most precious things we can _17_ for you are the things you have given us”可知，父母希望子女得到的是子女給予他們的，即歡聲笑語和愛。故選B項(xiàng)。18C根據(jù)上文中的“Youve _16_ laughter and joy to our lives and so much love to our hearts”及空后的“Love”并結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，孩子可以為父母帶來幸福和愛。assistance意為“援助”；privilege意為“特權(quán)”；happiness意為“幸福”；satisfaction意為“滿意”。故選C項(xiàng)。19D根據(jù)本文第一句“My mother was a gift giver”并結(jié)合上下文可知，母親是一個(gè)極好的禮物贈(zèng)送者。故選D項(xiàng)。20A根據(jù)該句中的“but the best gifts we will always remember her for were her love for_20_ and her love for us”可知，此處表示我們永遠(yuǎn)記得她給的最好的禮物是她對生活的熱愛和她對我們的愛。從文中作者母親的行為可以看出作者的母親對生活的熱愛。故A項(xiàng)符合語境。四、 單句改錯(cuò)1He was writing a report while one of his friends called on him. 答案：whilewhen2Under the aid of our
