in his family to go to college, which has allowed him to achieve a sense of financial stability his parents and grandparents never did.句式分析：本句为主从复合句，句子主干为miguel maeda was the first in his family to go to college。其中miguel maeda为主句的主语，系动词was是主句的谓语动词，the first in his family to go to college是主句中的表语。who has a masters degree and works in public health是非限制性定语从句，先行词是miguel maeda，补充说明主语的情况，关系代词who在定语从句中充当主语。which has allowed him to achieve a sense of financial stability也是一个非限制性定语从句，关系代词which指代主句的内容，在定语从句中作主语。his parents and grandparents never did是限制性定语从句，修饰先行语a sense of financial stability，因为关系代词在定语从句中充当宾语，所以省略了关系代词which/that，而且该定语从句为了避免重复，所以用did代替动词achieved。译文：米格尔马埃达，42岁，拥有硕士学位，从事公共卫生工作。他是家中第一个上大学的人，这使他有了一种经济稳定的感觉，这是他的父母和祖父母从未有过的。1b考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“more specifically, they agree on how to get ahead in america: get a college education, find a reliable job, and buy their own house.”可推知，在美国获得成功的方式就是接受大学教育、找到可靠的工作并买属于自己的房子，即过去大多数人认为要想在美国取得成功，必须要有高等学位，故选b项。2d考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“obviously, the results show that today, the idea of the american dream and what it takes to achieve it looks quite different from it did in the late 20th century.”可知，研究结果表明如今美国梦和如何才能实现它的观念与20世纪晚期时很不一样，已经发生了变化，故选d项。3d考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“in the last seven years, americans have grown more pessimistic about the power of education to lead to success.”可知，在过去的七年里，美国人对教育可以带来成功的力量变得越来越悲观，再结合后面一句中提到有52%的人认为想要成功的年轻人未必需要上为期4年的大学，由此可推知，现在美国人认为大学学历对于取得成功并不像以前那么重要了，故选d项。4a考查细节理解。根据文章第四段中的“while some, like maeda, emphasized the value of degree rather than the education itself, others still see college as a way to gain new viewpoints and life experiences.”可知，尽管一些人重视的是学位的价值而不是教育本身，但还有些人仍然把大学看作是获得新观念和生活经历的一种方式，从而开阔自己的视野，由此可知a项正确。.完形填空【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，作者参加校拼字比赛获胜，别人和她握手，她不理会；参加县拼字比赛时，获胜者真诚地和亚军握手，作者自惭形秽，意识到了自己的礼貌问题。【高频词回顾】ahead adv. 将来，今后
