There he was, my 80-year-old grandfather with his silvery hair. And there I was, a teenage girl in my jeans and T-shirt. His aged but still clear blue eyes were taking in the scene as I wondered how I was going to get through the next two days. Why did I ever agree to accompany my cranky grandpa on a train ride from New York to Georgia?No one else wanted to be the fellow traveler since my grandfather refused to fly. In contrast, I loved to fly since I wanted to get to the destination as quickly as possible. No matter what anyone told my grandfather about the comfort and safety of flying, he refused to book a flight, saying, “Its not just the trip; its the adventure of getting there.”With my first step onto the train, the journey was already different from what I expected. The train was modem and filled with friendly travelers. We settled into the club car, where we could enjoy food and drinks while watching the scenery pass. Instead of listening to my music, I became a willing audience and learned family history that I had never had the time or patience to learn. With teary eyes, he told me that going to family events was hard for him since my grandmother died. It always made him think about those who were no longer with us. For the first time I felt I understood him. I gained a new appreciation for our time together.In this fast-paced world, we often miss important moments. There is great significance in listening to elders who offer a piece of their history and experience. I may be more open to opportunities to stay with my grandpa. Life isnt just about the destination; its about the journey.24. What does the underlined word “cranky” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Health.B. StrangeC. Selfless.D. Outgoing.25. What did the author think of the journey at first?A. It would be boring.B. She would learn something during it.C. It would be a chance to know about her grandpa.D. She would enjoy the beautiful scene during it.26. What made the author change her attitude towards staying with her grandpa?A. Her grandpas appreciation of her.B. Her grandpas missing her relatives.C. The sad stories of her grandmother.D. The new understanding of her grandpa.27. What can we learn from the text?A. Listening to elders will help us learn a lot.B. Caring for elders needs a lot of creativity.C. There always is beautiful scenery along the journey.D. Travelling by train is more comfortable than by plane.【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章作者通过讲述自己和爷爷坐火车的经历，说明了聆听长者讲述他们的历史和经历，意义重大。【24题详解】词义猜测题。下文No one else wanted to be the fellow traveler since my grandfather refused to fly.意思是自从我祖父拒绝坐飞机后，没有人愿意和我们一起旅行。由此可知，Why did I ever agree to accompany my cranky grandpa on a train ride from New York to Georgia?的意思是我为什么要答应陪我那奇怪的爷爷从纽约坐火车去乔治亚州呢? “cranky”的意思是奇怪的，故选B。【25题详解】推理判断题。答案定位在第一段His aged but still clear blue eyes were taking in the scene as I wondered how I was going to get through the next two days.（他那双苍老但依然清澈的蓝眼睛看着眼前的情景，我不知道接下来的两天该怎么过。）由此推断出，起初，作者认为这次旅行非常无聊，故选A。【26题详解】细节理解题。答案定位在第三段For the first time I felt I understood him. I gained a new appreciation for our time together.（我第一次觉得我理解了他。我对我们在一起的时间有了新的认识。）由此可知，她对她爷爷的新认识让作者改变了她和爷爷在一起的态度，故选D。【27题详解】细节理解题。答案定位在最后一段There is great significance in listening to elders who offer a piece of their history and experience.（聆听长者讲述他们的历史和经历，意义重大。）由此可知，聆听长辈的话会帮助我们学到很多东西，故选A。【点睛】推理判断题要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的判断和推理，从而得出文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，同学们应严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气等，找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词语，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。小题2，答案定位在第一段His aged but still clear blue eyes were taking in the scene as I wondered how I was going to get through the next two days.（他那双苍老但依然清澈的蓝眼睛看着眼前的情景，我不知道接下来的两天该怎么过。）由此推断出，起初，作者认为这次旅行非常无聊，故选A。CWhen he was a kid, Alex Vardakostas began working in the grill (烧烤店)alongside adult employees. He estimates he has cooked 50,000 burgers (汉堡包).Now, Vardakostas co-owns a burger joint called Creator, in San Francisco, California. But he doesnt stand over a grill flipping burgers, and neither do his employees. At Creator, burgers are cooked and assembled entirely by machine. And because it costs less to maintain the machine than to pay a kitchens worth of employees, burgers cost less.Creator is just one example of a growing phenomenon: Automation is taking over more and more jobs. That means work is done by machines or computers instead of people.According to a report from McKinsey Global Institute, about 800 million people could be forced out of their jobs by 2030. McKinsey predicts that as technology improves, some tasks will be done more quickly or cheaply by machine, so businesses will install robots or computer Programs to perform them.Some jobs are more likely to be automated than others. Machines can do jobs that have three characteristics: They are routine, repetitive, and predictable. Some of these jobs pay low wages and require little education. But others pay well and demand an advanced college degree. Taxi drivers, cashiers, lawyers, and doctors all perform some tasks that can be done by machines.So what jobs are safe from automation? Answers include coming up with new ideas or work that involves interacting with other people and building relationships. Jobs in engineering, science, the arts, therapy, and nursing are examples.At Creator, Vardakostas hired people to do just that kind of work. Instead of repetitive burger prepping, workers interact with customers and advise them on flavor pairings, like mushroom sauce with pickles and onion jam. In our world at Creator, all the work is creative and social, Vardakostas says. And I think that is what were going to see more of the future. ”28. Whats the difference between Creato
