参考答案一、阅读理解【答案】14BCBD【解析】1．B定位首段末句由“Todayallthreegenerationsregardthemoveasuccess,givingthemacloserrelationshipthantheywouldhavehadinseparatecities”可知这是因为它加强了她的家庭关系。答案为B。2．C定位第二段，由“83percentofthepeoplesaidMrs.Robinson’sdecisionwillinfluencegrandparentsintheAmericanfamily.”可知，约83%的人认为Mrs.Robinson的决定会影响美国的很多祖父母，说明不是17%而是83%的人支持，排除A；B选项文中未提及；83%的人支持，说明认为有很坏影响的人占的比例不可能超过17%；C选项符合文意。3．B由第三段首句“Inthe1960swewereallalittlewildandcouldn’tgetawayfromhomefarenough,fastenoughtoprovewecoulddoitonourown”可推断20世纪60年代的时候，人们想要离开家去证明自己的能力但现实并不允许，心里其实是想离开家的，B选项正确。4．D由最后一段可知有时候对祖父母来说，和孩子孙子们住在一起并非就是好的选择，反而不住在一起而是频繁去探访子孙会更好，因为这样就不需要改变祖父母自己熟知的生活方式，由此可推测出作者的建议祖父母是否搬去和子孙一起住最好从祖父母的需求出发，选择D。【答案】1．in2．dangerous3．directions4．stands5．as6．death7．hadhad/had8．tolive9．taking10．it【解析】1．固定搭配：inbadcondition状态恶劣，可知答案为in。2．形容词修饰名词，答案为dangerous。3．根据句意：两辆车来自相反的方向，可知用名词复数，答案为directions。4．此句是全部倒装，句子是一般现在时态，主语是aman，单数第三人称，故答案为stands。5．根据句意：使我们惊讶的是，一个男人带着一个通知牌站在路的拐弯处，一边是红色，另一边是绿色，充当一名志愿者，可知答案为as。6．根据句意：多亏了他，死亡率已经下降，可知用名词形式，答案为death。7．根据句意：
