【题目】 In the United States，the baby boomer generation(婴儿潮一代) include those who were born in the time after World War II. Those babies have retired or are now reaching the retirement age. As these adults age, many of their adult children worry about how to take care of their aging parents. In the United States it is not common for several generations to live under one roof. Once children grow up and get married, they move out, leaving their aging parents to care for themselves. When these aging parents can no longer take care of themselves because of age or illness, it is not uncommon for adult children in the US to place their elderly parents in a nursing home.
A nursing home is a place that offers care for the elderly and ill. As the name suggests，nursing homes have professionals including nurses, doctors and social workers to help aging adults deal with the challenges of daily life. And their mental health could be guaranteed for elderly people to get relaxed, accompanied by those of the same age. Most nursing homes also have social activities for the elderly to participate in and keep active. These activities range from games to dance classes, and movie nights. Nursing homes are supposed to provide three nutritious meals for their residents.
Nursing homes are controversial, however. There have been cases across the country of staff in nursing homes treating the elderly residents badly and even robbing them. There are different states and federal agencies that are supposed to oversee(监管) nursing homes. Some people feel that it should be the responsibility of family members, especially adult children, to care for their aging or sick parents. However, many adult children have their own children and families to take care of, and do not have the means to care for their elderly parents; others worry about medical skills needed if their elderly parents are seriously ill. And these problems of caring for parents are bothering more and more adults in the US at present.
【1】The first paragraph mainly about___________.
A.when the baby boomer generation in the US were born
B.whether the elderly and their children should live together
C.why Americans put their elderly parents in nursing homes
D.how Americans look after their aging parents differently
【2】How many advantages of nursing homes are mentioned?
A.Three.B.Four.
C.Five.D.Six.
【3】What’s the writer’s attitude toward sending parents to nursing homes?
A.Indifferent.B.Understandable.
C.Favorable.D.Disapproving.
【4】What’s the purpose of the text?
A.To discuss how to care for aging parents.
B.To ask the government to oversee nursing homes.
C.To prove nursing homes do more harm than good.
D.To show problems faced by American adult children.
【答案】
【1】C
【2】B
【3】B
【4】D
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了美国年轻人所面临的的父母养老问题。
【1】
主旨大意题。由第一段“Those babies have retired or are now reaching the retirement age. As these adults age, many of their adult children worry about how to take care of their aging parents. In the United States it is not common for several generations to live under one roof. Once children grow up and get married, they move out, leaving their aging parents to care for themselves. When these aging parents can no longer take care of themselves because of age or illness, it is not uncommon for adult children in the US to place their elderly parents in a nursing home.”可知，婴儿潮一代的人已到了退休的年龄。他们的子女面临着如何照顾好父母的困境。在美国，孩子们长大结婚以后就会搬出去住。上了年纪的父母要自己照顾自己。当父母不能自理的时候，美国的子女很多会把父母送到养老院。所以本段在介绍美国年轻人面临的养老现状进而解释为什么很多人将父母送到养老院照顾。故选C项。
【2】
细节理解题。由第二段“As the name suggests，nursing homes have professionals including nurses, doctors and social workers to help aging adults deal with the challenges of daily life. And their mental health could be guaranteed for elderly people to get relaxed, accompanied by those of the same age. Most nursing homes also have social activities for the elderly to participate in and keep active. These activities range from games to dance classes, and movie nights. Nursing homes are supposed to provide three nutritious meals for their residents.”可知，养老院有四大优点。首先，那里有专业的医疗人员和社工来看护老人。其次，有同龄人的陪伴，老人在养老院会心情放松，身心愉悦。再次，老人在养老院可以参加各种社团活动，锻炼身心。最后，养老院会提供可口营养的食物给老人。所以提到了养老院的四大优点。故选B项。
【3】
推理判断题。由第三段“However, many adult children have their own children and families to take care of, and do not have the means to care for their elderly parents; others worry about medical skills needed if their elderly parents are seriously ill. And these problems of caring for parents are bothering more and more adults in the US at present.”可知，将老人送到养老院实属无奈之举。作者提到了很多美国年轻人面临的困境。很多家庭上有老下有小，年轻人没有足够的财力来照顾老人。还有的人在担心老人病了之后自己在家不能给予很好的护理。由此可以判断作者认为将老人送到养老院实属无奈之举，可以理解。故选B项。
【4】
推理判断题。由全文以及最后一段“And these problems of caring for parents are bothering more and more adults in the US at present.”而这些照顾父母的问题正困扰着越来越多的美国成年人。由此判断出，整篇文章的目的在说明美国年轻人面临的问题。故选D项。
推理判断题是考查学生透过文章表面的文字信息进行分析、综合、归纳等逻辑推理的能力。推理和判断必须以事实为依据，切莫主观臆断。那些文章中直接陈述的内容不能选，要选择根据文章推理出来的选项；推理不是凭空猜测，而是立足已知推断未知，作出正确答案时一定要在文中找到依据或理由；要忠实于原文，以文章提供的事实和线索为依据。不能以自己的观点代替作者的想法，不要脱离原文主观臆断。由第三段“However, many adult children have their own children and families to take care of, and do not have the means to care for their elderly parents; others worry about medical skills needed if their elderly parents are seriously ill. And these problems of caring for parents are bothering more and more adults in the US at present.”可知，将老人送到养老院实属无奈之举。作者提到了很多美国年轻人面临的困境。很多家庭上有老下有小，年轻人没有足够的财力来照顾老人。还有的人在担心老人病了之后自己在家不能给予很好的护理。由此可以判断作者认为将老人送到养老院实属无奈之举，可以理解。故选B项。

【题目】 Maybe you pop vitamins supporting brainpower, or stock upon these foods that boost brain health. But new guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology suggest there's something better you can do to keep your mind sharp.
A quarter of adults aged 80 to 84 experience mild cognitive (认知的) impairment, according to AAN. To address the widespread problem, a group of neurologists and Alzheimer's (阿尔兹海默氏症的) specialists went through existing studies to define the best ways to prevent and treat cognitive decline-and you might be surprised by what they included and what they didn't.
Surprisingly, the AAN guidelines don't include any medication (药物) or dietary recommendations. The authors stress that there haven't been any high-quality, long-term studies finding foods or medication can help cognitive decline. The guidelines also say doctors can consider suggesting cognitive training to patients with memory loss but not to rely on it. So far, the report's authors say the evidence is too inconclusive to say for sure if brain exercises, like memory and attention training or problem solving for everyday issues associated with memory loss, are beneficial. Still, these morning brain exercises can't do any harm.
But there was one big discovery from the new guidelines: Exercising just twice a week could improve cognitive decline. One study showed adults with mild cognitive impairment who did resistance training twice a week scored better on executive function and associative (联想的) memory tests than a group that worked on balancing, stretching, and relaxing.
What's more, another study had older adults attend either biweekly health classes or sessions of aerobics, strength training, balance exercises, and multitasking training. Six months later, the ones who'd exercised regularly scored better on cognitive health and memory tests, plus had less brain shrinkage.
AAN now recommends doctors tell patients with memory loss to exercise twice a week to keep their minds sharp. This is the best time to exercise if you want to improve your memory. It looks like you've got just one more reason to clear time in your schedule for a workout — even if it's only on the weekends.
【1】What does the underlined word 'impairment' in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Error.B.Decline.C.Development.D.Presence.
【2】AAN may be uncertain about .
A.strength trainingB.resistance training
C.exercises twice a weekD.brain exercise
【3】Which of the following may the author agree with?
A.Daily exercises are beneficial to Alzheimer.
B.The AAN guidelines attach importance to workout.
C.Medication is of significance in the AAN guidelines.
D.Stocking up on vitamins supporting brainpower means nothing.
【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Exercise.B.Entertainment.C.ScienceD.Health
