spoiled children who grow up expecting everything to be easy for them.as a 20something myself, i certainly share their disappointment my husband and i probably wont be able to buy a house until were in our forties, and we two are burdened by student loans.but why should it be different? being young people in america, shouldnt they take up all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers?consider some of these views shared in the story: jennifer, 29, owner of a twobedroom apartment with her husband, worries that she wont be able to have children for at least a decade because they cant afford to buy a house yet.i read that, and i thought what planet she is living on where you need to own a house in order to have kids? has she ever visited a developing country, or even downtown areas in this one? home ownership is a luxury (奢华), not a fertility requirement.a 26yearold man in the story is disappointed that he cant afford to get a phd in literature.well, that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in thailand for five years.yes, its sad that these young people feel so lost.but i think the problem is their extremely high expectations, not economic reality.beth kobliner, author of get a financial life: personal finance in your twenties and thirties, says that she thinks peoples expectations grow up when their wealth appears to be increasing.their parents probably see their home values rise along with their investments.“so we have people who have grown up in an environment where people have great expectations of what living well means，” says kobliner.this recession (经济衰退) will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group.in the meantime, it seems much better for our mental health to focus on being grateful for our onebedroom apartments, for living in modern cities, or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day than on longing for some kind of luxurious life.1what makes the author think the 20somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children?athey expect everything to be easy for them.bthey complain that the economy is ruining their life

passage?ayoung people afford to continue their educationbyoung people cant afford to buy a housecyoung peoples high expectations lead to despairdthe 20somethings high expectations答 案.1.选d根据答语的后一句可知答话人认为“我们的乒乓球队比他们的更强”，所以他们的乒乓球队决不可能在即将到来的亚运会上获得第一名，by no means“决不”，符合句意。dont mention it用来回答别人的感谢，意为“不客气”。2选b句意：尽管事实上很多的驾驶员都受过培训，但是我们再怎么强调交通安全的重要性也不为过。根据句意可知应选b，表示“尽管”。c项、d项都是连词，后只能跟句子；a项“幸亏；由于”，不符合句意。3选b句意：去年我过得不顺，似乎每次我开始要好好比赛时，我都受了伤。希望今年我能够健健康康，好好比赛。根据句意可知，应选b项。4选a句意：戴维卡梅伦被选为首相，他将带领英国走向一个新的时代。prime minister是专有名词，表示独一无二的职务，故其前不用冠词；“_ new time”泛指“一个新的时代”，故第二空用不定冠词a。所以答案为a。5选a句意：在去车站的路上，我突然意识到我们如何才能改善这个局面。“it strikes (struck) sb.从句 .”表示“某人突然意识到”，为固定句型。6选c句意：你花钱的方式也许会表明你对生活的态度。根据句意可知应选indicate，表示“表明；显示”。support“支持”；transform“使改变外观”；direct“指导；管理”。7选ait为形式主语， that引导的从句为真正的主语。8选b句意：我们对怀特先生的评价都很高，因为他总是信守原则。live up to“遵守；实践(诺言，原则)”，符合句意。live on“以为生”；live through“度过；经历过”；live with“忍受；容忍”。9选d句意：“布朗小姐很忙，是吗？”“是的，她很忙。到现在为止她又承担了更大的责任。”take off“起飞；腾飞；脱下”；take out“拿出；取出”；take in“吸收；领会；欺骗”；take on“承担；呈现出；雇用”。take on responsibility“承担责任”，符合语境。10选d句意：关于步行我已经谈了很多。我想说的是：它是一种省钱、安全而又令人愉快的锻炼方式。另外，它很环保。in addition“此外”，符合题意。all in all“总之”；in conclusion“总之”；in other words“换言之”。11选b句意：当在这个美丽的小镇居住时，酷爱文学的格林先生写了很多绝妙的诗歌。a good many“许多；很多”，其后直接跟名词复数。a great many of后接名词复数时，名词前通常应有限定词；a good deal后不可接名词；a great deal of后应接不可数名词。12选d句意：我没打算告诉你他的名字；我当时是口误。a slip of my tongue“口误”，符合句意。fault“过失；过错”；coincidence“巧合”；dilemma“(进退两难的)困境；窘境”。13选c句意：失败是成功之母，保持你的勇气，你一定会成功的。keep up “保持”，符合题意。keep off “不提(某话题)；避免”； keep out “遮掩；避开”； keep on “继续”。14选c句意：当然，大多数移民并没有一夜之间就发财，但是他们大多最终改善了自己的生活水平。maximum“最大限量；最高点”；minority“少数；半数以下”；majority“大多数”；minimum“最低限度；最低点”。故选c。15选a句意：他很显然对这个消息非常吃惊，一个业余选手居然打败了排名前十的职业选手。apparently“显然地”；rarely“很少地；难得地”；secretly“秘密地；背地里”；desperately“绝望地；不顾一切地”。.1.选c根据下文“so we put on our winter coats and snow boots and _ our way to .”可知，此处指的是雪很深。故c项正确。2选dconfirm“确定”；decide“决定”；wonder“想知道”；suspect“猜想，觉得”。由语境可知，mary感觉到“我们”的新邻居状况不好，因此决定去看看他们一家。故d项正确。3选b根据上文可知，“我们”深夜前往去看望新邻居一家。make ones way to意为“前往，设法进入”，符合语境。故b项正确。4选a根据上文“.all was not well with .”及第二段中的“she was in a serious depression (忧郁症)”可知，sabina病了。故a项正确。5选bfreely“自由地”；helplessly“无助地”；peacefully“平静地”；angrily“生气地”。根据语境可知，母亲病了，孩子们无助地坐在她旁边。故b项正确。6选bbring up“养育”；look after“照顾”；wash away“冲走，洗掉”；check up“检查”。由语境可知，由于母亲病了，碟子和衣服好长时间都没人管过。故b项正确。7选c由语境可知，“我们”不知如何能联系到她的丈夫。reach意为“取得联系”，符合语境。故c项正确。8选c根据上文“the dishes and laundry hadnt been _ for many weeks.”可知，我们帮助她洗了盘子和衣服。故c项正确。9选dfind“发现”；doubt“怀疑”；hope“希望”；agree“同意”。根据语境可知，“我们”一致认为她需要专业的帮助。故d项正确。10选amake calls“打电话”；make decisions“做决定”；make preparations“做准备”；make changes“做修改”。根据下文“the next day, a social _ came to help her.”可知，“我们”打电话进行了联系，才有人第二天过来帮助她。故a项正确。11选d根据上下文语境可知，第二天，一名社会工作者来帮助她。故d项正确。12选bmedicine“药”；treatment“治疗”；operation“手术”；examination“检查，考试”。根据第二段中的“she was
