2019版高考英语阅读理解一轮练题(9)李仕才AThe 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 become an elementary school teacher. However, Hipp has racked up(累计) $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 common 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 company, 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(导师). 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 common for adult children to live in their parents homes because its becoming part of the culture.”1.Whats the purpose of Caitlin Hipps story?A. To prove the authors view.B. To introduce her situation.C. To present the topic.D. To make readers rethink about the problem.2.What does the underlined part (Paragraph1) probably refer to?A. live with parentsB. live independentlyC. stay at homeD. leave home3.According to Hoffman, which of the following is true?A. It isnt necessary for millennials to leave the nest.B. They can spend less money on their daily life.C. Moral values are changing gradually.D. Young adults are living in a different life style.4.Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Why is the number of the millennial growing steadily?B. Why has the percentage of adults living with their parents been on the rise?C. Why are parents willing to help fund for young adults?D. Why do more adults treat their parents as peers, friends and guides?【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了在美国,现在和父母同住的年轻人的数量持续增加这一社会现象。1.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“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.”可知,文章开头举Caitlin Hipp的例子就是为了引出本文话题越来越多的美国青年倾向于和父母同住。3.D 【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“its much more common for adult children to live in their parents homes because its becoming part of the culture.”可知,霍夫曼认为现在的年轻人和父母同住是一种很正常的社会现象,这是不同以往的,说明年轻人的生活方式发生了变化。4.B 【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章内容,特别是第二段中的“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”可知,本文主要介绍了在美国,现在和父母同住的年轻人的数量持续增加这一社会现象。B(2017山西太原一模)Working well in a team requires full cooperation.Its an important skill for almost every employee to have.Your ability to do your job is dependent upon others getting your work done,and others depend on you to get their work done.Communicate well.Lack of communication is one of the biggest reasons of a teams failure.Seek input from team members so they feel like a valuable part of the team.Communication establishes trust among team members.In addition,communicating well can help prevent and resolve conflict.Meet regularly to keep members involved and aware of your work progress.Post decisions where everyone in the team can see them.Be flexible.In teamwork,priorities and responsibility can change instantly.Stay ready to shift focus.Training team members to be able to do parts of other team members jobs can be a valuable part of teamwork;being flexible helps to build appreciation for all the parts of the team.Meet deadlines.Work hard to ensure you meet established deadlines when you work in a team environment.Others are depending on your work.Negotiate timelines with your teammates at the start of a project.Doing so allows you to have a say in how work gets accomplished.Establish accountability.All team members must be responsible for the success and failure of the project.Although every team doesnt need a leader,teams require a formal way to ensure everybody does his part.Try using meetings to report on progress.Celebrate accomplishments and encourage the team.Senior executives may not always recognize the importance of some team members work.Share congratulations at team meetings and talk about whose work are invaluable in helping you get your work done.1.What can you conclude from the first paragraph?A.Working in a team means your work is separate.B.Working in a team means your work is effective.C.Being a member of a team means your work is independent.D.Being a member of a team means your work is interdependent.2.Which of the following deeds does not contribute to effective teamwork?A.Keeping silent in a team discussion.B.Being able to do parts of others job.C.Acknowledging others work publicly.D.Holding meetings to report on progress.3.What does the

OthersB.How to Work Effectively in a Team EnvironmentC.Ways to Work Well in Completing ProjectsD.Ways to Improve the Efficiency of EmployeesD段落大意题。根据第一段第三句话“Your ability to do your job is dependent upon others getting your work done,and others depend on you to get their work done.”可知在团队合作中,队员之间彼此相互依赖。故选D项。2.A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Lack of communication is one of the biggest reasons of a teams failure.”可知应选A项。keep silent与lack of communication意思相同,这样不利于团队工作的效率。3.B词义猜测题。第五段的主题是“Establish accountability”,而第二句话“All team members must be responsible for the success and failure of the project.”是对主题的解释,由此可知accountability的意思是be responsible,所以B项正确。4.B主旨大意题。通过阅读第一段以及每一段的主题句可知此文主要介绍如何在团队合作中提高工作效率,所以B项正确。CWhen was the last time you did something really fun with one of your parentsjust the two of you?Parents who take their young children to music,swimming and art classes often stop arranging such activities once their kids are older and in school all day.But it doesnt have to be that way.Doing something enjoyable with your kids just might make you look at each other in a whole new way,especially if you do it through a class or an event.When parent and child become students together,it puts them on the same level,at least for a while.“I really like parents to come to class with their kidsthey start sharing things and talking about what theyre doing and what they like,” said art teacher Pyper Dixon.However,finding something new in common is a big choice for them,especially when kids get involved in sports and other afterschool activities.But its possible to learn a new skill or hobby together.Thats certainly true of Lauren,11,from Silver Spring,who is in Dixons class with her father,Dennis.“I was just going to drop her off,” Dennis said,“but Dixon persuaded me to stay.”Now Lauren gets to nag her father about doing his art homework.“He always leaves it to the last minute,” she said.“But then hell turn around to do amazing drawings,” she added.“We have different styles of drawing,so its interesting to talk it over with him.”Without the Saturday morning art class,Dennis said,he would be reading the paper,and Lauren would be on her own in her room or on the computer.But they talk more now.“I cant think of an experience where you communicate with your kid so closely,” he said.1The author raises the question at the beginning to_.Aexpect an answer Bcriticize some parentsCintroduce the topicDsupport his argument2What does Dixon think is the benefit of parent and child studying art together?AThey will become equal.BThey will communicate more.CThe child will learn art much better.DThe parent will learn something new.3The underlined word “nag” in the text probably means_.AurgeBhelpCignore Dteach4We can learn from the text that_.ALauren used to talk a lot with her fatherBDennis enjoys studying art with LaurenCLauren dislikes her fathers drawingsDDennis likes playing computer

day.A few days ago,my car was not running well.I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes.He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.I was amazed.The sad truth is,great talent is not enough.I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year.A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially.It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase,“They are one skill away from great wealth.”There is an old saying that goes,“Job means just over broke(破产)”.And unfortunately,I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence,most workers “live within their means”.They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn,more than what they will earn.When I ask the classes I teach,“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonalds?” almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask,“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger,how come McDonalds makes more money than you?”The answer is obvious:McDonalds is excellent at business systems.The reason that so many talented people are poor is because they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people.They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.1.The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .A.he has a sharp sense of h
