The couple runs a family travel blog called‘Five Take Flight'and recently decided to sell their home in Utah and go on an unforgettable adventure around the world.They plan to leave in July,flying from their home in Utah to New York City,then to Iceland,and the rest of Europe.They'll return to their home city for a two weeks over Christmas,before flying to Hawaii,New Zealand,and finally Asia.It sounds like an incredible experience,but it's also going to be pretty tough to manage with three kids,which is why they've decided to take someone to travel with them and lend a hand when necessary.
"You'll be an honorary member of the family and will be treated with respect and be able to voice your opinion."The travel nanny will be required to handle most of the homeschooling for the couple's two boys,while also looking after their baby sister and also handle some of the cooking and cleaning.
"It's hard to define your exact hours because you will be living with us,but you will have time to yourself every day for sure,and one to two times a week you'll be able to go off on your own."The Tillotsons add that the chosen person will receive a monthly salary of 1200-1500 for their work besides travel expenses and other living costs.However,a number of people have pointed out that the sum is still very low for the requirements.

分析 本文写了家庭旅游中雇佣家庭保姆的情况,并对家庭保姆的工作要求和薪水做了介绍.

解答 5.A 推理判断题.根据句子They posted a Facebook video hoping to get a few dozen applications,but ended up with messages from nearly 20,000 people hoping to get the job.他们贴出了一份脸谱网视频,希望能得到几十份申请,但最终得到了近20000人希望得到这份工作的消息.由此可以推断出有很多的人想得到这份工作,所以答案选A.
6.C 细节理解题.根据句子They plan to leave in July,flying from their home in Utah to New York City,then to Iceland,and the rest of Europe.他们计划在七月离开,从犹他的家飞到纽约,然后再飞到冰岛,再到欧洲的其他地方.可见他们旅游完欧洲就回来,所以答案选C.
7.B 细节理解题.根据句子The travel nanny will be required to handle most of the homeschooling for the couple's two boys,while also looking after their baby sister and also handle some of the cooking and cleaning.旅行保姆将被要求为夫妇俩的两个孩子办理大部分的家庭教育,同时还要照顾他们的小妹妹,还要处理一些做饭和打扫卫生.在工作的范围里唯独没有B选项,故答案选B.
8.D 细节理解题.根据句子However,a number of people have pointed out that the sum is still very low for the requirements.然而,一些人指出,所需款项仍然很低.可见这项工作的薪水不满意.

点评 本文考查细节题为主,细节题可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息?或是其变体.搜查信息在阅读中非常重要它包括理解作者在叙述某事时使用的具体事实、数据、图表等细节信息.在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节.做这类题一般采用寻读法?即先读题,然后带着问题快速阅读短文,找出与问题有关的词语或句子,再对相关部分进行分析对比,找出答案.

"You know,my son,what really amazes me to this day,"my mother said,"Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough.But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that I'll never forget."

1.Third Culture Kids
As more cities and companies become increasing international,there is a growing number of children that are creating their own sub-culture.Often (36)A to as TCKs (Third Culture Kids) or Global Nomads,these students have a(n) (37)B impact on the global community.
So who are these Third Culture Kids?They are not a new phenomenon.As one looks(38)B history,there is a realization that certain groups of people have led highly (39)C lives,a key(40)D in describing TCKs.They often(41)C their parents into another country and spend a significant part of his or her development years outside the parents'culture.They are(42)A to new cultures and to other people in the community who (43)D move constantly.Their numbers (44)B into the hundreds of thousands and are increasing.Ease of (45)D and constant relocation of people through multinational companies and global business links contribute to this (46)A.
The question"Who am I?"is frequently asked by TCKs.They have (47)B a host of cultural identities,and have built relationships to all the cultures,(48)C not having full ownership of any.Although elements from each culture are absorbed into TCK's life experience,the sense of (49)D is in relationship to others of a similar background.
As you enter into the world of TCKs,one might suspect they are no(50)C.But it is (51)A,after spending only a short time with them,that they bring a deep knowledge from inside and a special ability to compare(52)B and local issues.They represent many countries and cultures.They are the future cross-culturalists and (53)A future politicians,diplomats,government employees and educators.
They certainly experience a different lifestyle compared to their mono-cultural peers but we can benefit from their global and (54)C lives.So,whatever one chooses to label the international students as---TCKs,Global Nomads,or Global Souls---we will gain unbelievable (55)D.
