He often wears the same clothes for many days in a row（连续）because he doesnt know how to use a washing machine.This is not a joke. Hughes is far from the only young person who doesnt have basic life skills.According to a recent study by YouGov, a UK market research firm, todays young people in the UK are less capable（有能力的）than older generations when it comes to basic life skills. For example, about 35 percent dont know how to sew（缝）on a button and 11 percent dont understand how to change a light bulb or iron (熨烫)clothes.This problem is shared by young people in the United States as well. According to Forbes, many youngsters in the US are losing the skill of cooking, as they are much more likely to order take-out food（外卖）.Technology may be the main reason for this. Born and raised in a digital age（数字化时代）, young people are more familiar with using phones and computers. For example, with GPS always at hand, young people have no need to learn how to read physical maps.However, this does not mean that younger generations are unable to carry out basic everyday tasks. The Mirror noted that as their lives have changed, the major life skills that they are good at have changed as well.The study results show that although only 45 percent know how to pay their water and electricity bills after leaving home, 72 percent could help set up a WiFi network in a new house.（1）Why does Hughes often wear the same clothes for many days? A . Because he likes to play jokes on others.B . Because he doesnt know how to wash them.C . Because he doesnt have other clothes to change into.D . Because he has developed it as a habit.（2）Which of the following is NOT a finding from YouGovs study? A . Many young people in the UK dont have basic life skills.B . Younger generations in the UK dont have better life skills than older ones.C . Eleven percent of British youngsters dont know how to iron clothes.D . Many American youngsters are losing their basic life skills.（3）What could be the main reason for this problem? A . Parents love for their children.B . Too much homework every day.C . Technology in the digital age.D . The convenient use of GPS.（4）According to The Mirror, young people today_. A . dont need to learn basic life skillsB . cant carry out basic everyday tasksC . are developing new basic life skillsD . are good at setting up WiFi networks五、 词汇运用 (共3题；共21分)21. （1分）Whose _(女儿) are the girls?
