Years ago,I lived next door to an old man named Steve,who told me he hadn't had any friends since quitting his factory job 20 years earlier.Steve sat on his porch(门廊)all day.Across the street was another neighbor,Werner,who usually sat on an armchair on his lawn.The two men,both around the same age,stared at each other but rarely talked.When Steve fell down on the floor,Werner watched as the ambulance crew tried to save him.
Steve and Werner are a handy example for the kind of separation that COVID-19 has visited upon many of us.Although the pandemic has gone now,a separation still exists.The percentage of men with at least six close friends fell by half between 1990 and 2021,according to the Survey Center on American Life.
In short,man is in friendship recession(衰退).It is the result of social conditioning and 10,000 years of developmental forces,where cooperation has been changed into competition.The invention of the big-screen TV hasn't helped.
A 2020 Oxford University study confirms what many people will readily admit:People prefer to socialize in groups rather than one-on-one.Groups are looser,less private.And shared activities often center on something——a sport,a bar,or a football match.But when the activity goes away,the group often goes with it.
I reconnected with an old friend who had played professional football and I asked him if he was in touch with any of his former teammates. "No,"he said.When football ended,those connections did too.Without that central activity to keep the relationship,they all disappeared from one another's lives.
There was a time when card games or watching the football games was a sort of guilty pleasure,a senseless activity.Now we're learning that these things,or at least the connection they represent,are basic to mental health.
4. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? ______
A. To introduce the neighbors.
B. To tell the neighbors' stories.
C. To give an example of separation.
D. To tell the effect of the pandemic.
5. What did people readily admit in the study? ______
A. Men prefer one-on-one relationship.
B. Relationships in groups are more private.
C. Shared activities do not center on anything.
D. The group's connection ends after activities go away.
6. What challenge are men facing now? ______
A. Friendship recession. B. Peer competition.
C. Team cooperation. D. Social development.
7. What's the author's opinion about card games or watching the football games? ______
A. A sort of guilty pleasure. B. Basic to mental health.
C. A kind of senseless activities. D. Ways to amuse themselves.
C
Research has revealed many benefits to being in the presence of nature,whether that's walking in a forest,having a small garden or keeping a few household plants.
"One study showed that patients in a hospital who had plants in their rooms reported less pain,lower blood pressure,less tiredness and less anxiety than patients without plants in their rooms," says Jenny Seham,founder and director of AIM (Arts and Integrative Medicine) in New York.She explains,"Cortisol(皮质醇),the stress hormone,has been shown to lower with plant interaction,lowering tiredness and blood pressure.Gardening and caring for plants can help turn people away from negative thoughts or emotions."
Houseplant collections have become a popular social media trend.Jamie Keaton Jones,a psychologist,says,"For many people,tending to plants has become a hobby.This hobby enables them to experience greater comfort and beauty from the presence of living things sharing their space."
"Plants and exposure to greenery have been found to have many mental health benefits,such as lowering stress,decreasing feelings of depression,increasing sociability,restoring focus,improving cognitive performance,improving mood and increasing self-confidence," says Jones.
Studies have also shown that plants and gardening increase productivity and levels of serotonin(血清素),which is responsible for uplifting mood.
"Rather than focusing on the past or worrying about the future,plant care helps one concentrate on the present moment and provides a feeling of accomplishment," says Gayle Weill,another psychologist in Washington.
Like any new skill or hobby,taking care of houseplants comes with a learning process.Anyone starting to care for plants should be patient and allow themselves time to learn the basics,leaving room for a little trial and error.
8. Where can the passage be found? ______
A. In a science magazine. B. In a novel.
C. In a history book. D. In a biography.
9. What can we infer from Jenny Seham's words? ______
A. Many hospitals keep plants in the patients' rooms.
B. Doctors will use plants to cure the patients' illness.
C. Keeping a few plants can get us out of tiredness.
D. Caring for plants can keep us away from bad mood.
10. What can we learn from the passage? ______
A. Houseplant collections are not popular in recent days.
B. Keeping plants has many physical health benefits.
C. Studies have proved that plants are beneficial for uplifting mood.
D. For many of us,plant care is difficult and takes time.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage? ______
A. Benefits of Keeping Houseplants
B. Research on Keeping Houseplants
C. Ways to Take Care of Houseplants
D. Opinions About Caring About Plants
D
When Erika and Cody Archie posted a video to TikTok explaining how they would be charging their then-18-year-old daughter Kylee rent,the reaction was split.One commenter called it a" punishment".Another said,"I don't see anything wrong with it.It helps them learn responsibility." While a third added,"Oh,no,that's their home."
The video spread fast,receiving over 700,000 views.Despite the mixed response,Cody is sure they've made the right decision. "This is our way of preparing her and making sure she knows that things aren't free," he tells Newsweek. "Part of becoming an adult is knowing that you have to either pay rent or you'll have a house payment.Our hope is that by doing all this,we're preparing her for the world."
In the video,though,he was more outspoken,"Two dollars a month is plenty cheap to live in your parents' house."
According to the recent figures from the U.S.Census Bureau(人口普查局),58 percent of 18-to 24-year-olds are living with their parents.While staying at home has benefits for young people,having an extra person under their roof means higher costs for parents.
A recent survey conducted by Red-field & Wilton Strategies for Newsweek asked 1,500 American adults about their thoughts on parents charging their adult children rent.Around 57 percent said that a 20-year-old man moving back home should pay for the privilege,even if their parents do not need the money.Only 28 percent felt that adult children should live rent-free.
Another survey conducted by Lending Tree produced similar results.While 85 percent of parents surveyed said they'd let their adult children move home,73 percent would charge them rent.
Lending Tree found the percentage of adults between 24 and 40 living with their parents was highest in three states:Hawaii(21.6 percent), New Jersey(20.7 percent)and Florida(20.1 percent).Hawaii and New Jersey are expensive places to live,while Florida is more affordable.Lending Tree researchers inferred that some Florida adult children were at home to take care of aging parents.
12. What does the underlined word "split"in Paragraph 1 mean? ______
A. Obvious. B. Unbelievable. C. Different. D. Violent.
13. What can we learn from the U.S.Census Bureau? ______
A. Parents don't like to live with their adult children.
B. Living with parents is beneficial for young people.
C. People older than 24 don't like to live with their parents.
D. Young people usually ask their parents for money when living together.
14. What can be inferred from the two surveys? ______
A. The same organization conducted the two surveys in different states.
B. The two surveys asked the same number of adults about the topic.
C. Parents don't charge their children because they don't need the money.
D. More parents surveyed said that they would charge their children rent.
15. What is the author's attitude to charging children rent? ______
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Worried. D. Supportive.

一、速读全文,了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力,考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读,搜寻关键词、主题句,捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点,并且理清文章脉络,把握语篇实质。
二、看题干,带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型,客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案;而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等,这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次,了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读,对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性,提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理,做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中,有时作者并未把意图说出来,阅读者要根据字面意思,通过语篇逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理,不能就事论事,以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有:infer,imply,suggest,indicate等。
四、猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜",通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义。
4~7.【答案】C、D、A、B
【解析】(1)目的意图题。根据第二段第一句Steve and Werner are a handy example for the kind of separation that COVID-19 has visited upon many of us.(史蒂夫和沃纳是COVID-19给我们许多人带来的那种分隔的一个身边的例子。)可知,第一段的目的是为分隔提供一个例子。A.To introduce the neighbors.介绍邻居;B.To tell the neighbors' stories.讲述邻居的故事;C.To give an example of separation.举个分隔的例子;D.To tell the effect of the pandemic.说明疫情的效果。故选C。

这段短文主要讲述了作者与邻居Steve和Werner之间的关系,以及COVID-19疫情对人们友谊的影响。短文指出,人们的友谊关系正处于衰退状态,这是社会条件和发展力量的结果。研究表明,人们更喜欢在群体中社交而不是一对一。当共同活动消失时,群体关系也会随之消失。短文还提到,这些社交活动对于心理健康是基本的。

12~15.【答案】C、B、D、B
【解析】(1)词义猜测题。根据划线部分的下文One commenter called it a "punishment".Another said, "I don't see anything wrong with it.It helps them learn responsibility." A third added, "Hell no,that's their home." (一位评论者称之为"惩罚"。另一个人说:"我不觉得有什么不妥。这有助于他们学会承担责任。"第三个人补充道:"不,那是他们的家。")可知,人们的反应是有分歧的。Split意为"分歧",和different意思接近。结合选项A.Obvious明显的;B.Unbelievable难以置信的;C.Different不同的,有分歧的;D.Violent暴力的。故选C。
(2)细节理解题。根据第四段While staying at home has benefits for young people,having an extra person under their roof means higher costs for parents. (虽然呆在家里对年轻人有好处,但家里多一个人意味着父母的成本更高。)可知,与父母同住对年轻人有益。故选B。
(3)推理判断题。根据倒数第三段Only 28 percent felt that adult children should live rent-free. (只有28%的人认为成年子女应该免房租。)以及倒数第二段While 85 percent of parents surveyed said they'd let their adult children move home,73 percent would charge them rent. (85%的受访父母表示,他们会让成年子女搬回家住,73%的人会向他们收取房租。)可推知,更多的受访家长表示他们会向孩子收取房租。故选D。
(4)观点态度题。通读全文可知本文主要讲述了一对父母在网上分享向18岁的女儿收取租金的视频后,人们发表了不同的看法。主要引用了第三方的数据和观点,作者没有发表对此的看法。由此可推知,作者对收取儿童房租态度不清楚。故选B。
这篇短文主要讲述了Erika和Cody Archie在TikTok上发布了一个视频,解释了他们将向当时18岁的女儿Kylee收取房租的做法,引起了不同的反应。一位评论者称这是"惩罚"。另一个人说:"我觉得没什么问题。这有助于他们学会责任。"第三个人补充道:"哦,不,那是他们的家。"尽管反应褒贬不一,但Cody确信他们做出了正确的决定。根据美国人口普查局最近的数据,58%的18至24岁年轻人与父母同住。尽管留在家里对年轻人有好处,但多一个人住在他们的屋顶上意味着父母的开支增加。一项由Redfield & Wilton Strategies为Newsweek进行的最新调查询问了1500名美国成年人对父母向成年子女收取房租的看法。约57%的人认为一个20岁的男子回家应该为此付费,即使他们的父母不需要这笔钱。只有28%的人认为成年子女应该免租金居住。Lending Tree进行的另一项调查得出了类似的结果。85%的受访父母表示他们会让成年子女回家,73%的人会向他们收取房租。Lending Tree发现,24至40岁的成年人与父母同住的比例在夏威夷(21.6%)、新泽西(20.7%)和佛罗里达(20.1%)三个州最高。夏威夷和新泽西是昂贵的居住地,而佛罗里达则更为经济实惠。Lending Tree的研究人员推断,一些佛罗里达的成年子女是为了照顾年迈的父母而回家的。

(2)细节理解题。根据后文But that feeling is harder to hold on to when you're focusing on something.(但当你专注于某件事时,这种感觉就更难持续了。)中的转折词but可知,此处是指虽然还会感到有点恐慌,选项C"You might still feel that sense of dread.你可能还会有那种恐慌感。"符合语境。故选C。

(5)推理判断题。根据前文Make Sunday nights about doing something for yourself,to counteract the anxiety you're feeling about Monday.Maybe that means planning some favorite food to enjoy while watching football.(让周日晚上为自己做点事情,抵消周一的焦虑。也许这意味着在看足球比赛的时候计划一些喜欢的食物。)可知,此处是指把周日晚上都留给自己,让自己过得愉快,所以选项G"Do your best to enjoy yourself and make Sunday night s all for you.尽你最大的努力去享受,让周日晚上完全属于你。"符合语境。故选G。
这是一篇说明文。很多人会经历周日恐慌,文章对如何管理周日恐慌提出了建议。
