2^ClarissaGreensuggeststhatadultchildrenshould.

A、encouragetheirparentstoliveindependently

B、spendmoretimewiththeirparentsalweekends

C、trytosharetheirfragileparents*grievingfeelings

D^givetheirparentsspiritualaswellasfinancialhelp

标准答案：C

知识点解析:选项C是对第5句中jointheirparentsingrievingtheirdecline的近义

改写，为本题答案。其他选项只是将原文的某些字眼拼凑在一起，ClarissaGreen

在本文中并没有表达这些选项的意思。

3、AccordingtoStatisticsCanada,mostCanadianseniorsover65.

A、movetotheirchildren'splace

B、liveindependentlyuntiltheydie

C、joinmeaningfulprivately-sponsoredactivities

D、becometheresponsibilityofthegovernment

标准答案：B

知决点解析：原文该段第2句中破折号后的内容表明本题应选B。

4^Underthepressureandstressfromtheircareersandchildren,adultchildrentendto

A、pushtheirparentstogroupliving

B、dependontheirretiredparents

C、visittheirparentslessandlessoften

D^seekforpsychologicalconsultation

标准答案：A

知识点解析：原文该段首句提到老年人要在老年公寓过groupliving的生活，题干

中的careersandchildren出现在第3段末句，末句表明成年子女这时可能会急于把

他们的父母推开，选项A结合了这两句的内容，为本题答案。

5、VaiMacDonaldpoinisoutthatbabyboomers.

A^aremorewillingtotalktotheirparents

B、oftentakeadvantageoftheirparentsfinancially

C、seldomthinkofsendingtheirparentsaway

D、arelikelytoforcetheirparentstoaccepttheirviews

标准答案：D

知识点解析：该段首句暗示有些子女把自己的意见强加给日益年迈的父母，第2句

提到的habyboomers是前一句的例证，可见本题应选D。题干的关键词只在该段

提及，而选项A、B和C的内容均不能在该段找到依据。

6、WhenNancyWoods,parentsreachedtheirmid-80s,Nancy.

A、cookedeverymealforthem

B、hadtheirmealsdelivered

C、letthemliveonoatmealporridge

D、hadanutritiousdietdesignedforthem

标准答案：B

知识点解析：选项B是对第3句中的have...deliveringlunchesanddinners的近义改

写，为本题答案。选项C中的0almealporridge在该段倒数第3句有提及，但内容

与原文不符，不能选。

7、VaiMacDonaldhelpsadultchildrenwiththeiragingparentissuesthrough.

A、amagazine

B、theInternet

C、phonecalls

D、homevisiting

标准答案：C

知识点解析：原文该句是一个长句，但根据VaiMacDonald定位后，可发现该人名

后的非限定性定语从句提到了他经营的非赢利性组织respondsto...calls,可见本题

应选C。

8、NancyWoods'fatherdidn,tdecidetorevealhiswife'sdiseaseuntil.

A、hewashospitalizedfbroverwork

B、hewastoooldtocarefbrthewife

C、hiswiferefusedtocatanyfood

D^hiswifesetfiresintheirapartment

标准答案：D

知识点解析：只要根据题干中的关键词定位原文信息源，就能发现该段第3句提到

了选项D的内容，其他选项都属无中生.有。

9、WhenNancyWoods'sfathergottoknowtheir,heagreedtomoveoutof

theirapartment.

标准答案：tragicplight

知识点解析：空白处需要名词性成分，作know的宾语。依照原文内容，Woods的

父亲认识到了他们的悲惨处境，最终强忍痛苦同意搬出公寓。题目中的gott。

know是对原文recognized的同义替换。因此答案就是其后的tragicplight0

10、SinceNancyWoods'sparentsmovedintotheTorontonursinghometheybecame

healthierphysically,buthadnewproblemswith.

标准答案：iheirmentalabilities

知识点解析：空白处需要名词性成分，作with的宾语。题目中的newproblems是

对原文倒数第3段第4句中（hebeginningoftheend的同义改写，with相当于原文

中的intermsof）所以答案应该是intermsof的宾语theirmentalabilitieso

11、Despiteknowinglittleaboutwhatwashappening,theauthor'smotherishappierin

标准答案：thenearbynursinghome

知识点解析：空白处需要名词性成分，作介词in的宾语。题目用介词结构

despite…表达了原文中的让步状语从句，空白处前的ishappier在原文中出现在定

语从句中，只需找出定语从句中关系副词where的所指，就可得到答案。
