答案及解析
完形填空
36.D。她从教师工作上退了下来,然而她一直很忙。B项有一定干扰性。keeprich意思是“富有”,从后文shewavenwillingtoworkwithoutpay.可以看出B项不合题意。
37.A。从空后的thathelpedotherbusinessfindjobsforoldpeople.可以看出,她提供的是商业服务。
38.B。从空后的Bytalkingwiththem可以看出,AnnaDouglas每天都与很多老年人会面,而不是观察或安慰他们。
39.A。通过与他们交谈,她认识到两件事情。接下来的两句便是她认识到的事情。recognize在这里是“认识到”的意思。
社会调查
40.D。老年人有未被利用的能力。这是她积极为老年人找工作发挥他们余热的原因。其他答案不合题意。
41.B。然而老年人也有老年人的问题。A项有较大干扰性。从后文我们知道,有一位老年人不受其孙子女的欢迎,这是他面临的问题,而不是错误。
42.D。从后文Shebegantowriteanewspapercolumncalled“SixtyPlus”,我们知道,她为国家杂志写人物故事是以前的事。
43.A。联系上下文Oldpeoplelikeherlf.是报纸的一个话题(subject),因此其它选项不合题意。
44.A。getold在这里为系表结构,其它选项不正确。
45.C。B,D项有较大干扰性。作者举的例子说明很多老年人被其孙子女误解,而不是(他们的要求)被拒绝等。
46.A。从空后的ethetruthbehindaproblem我们得知,AnnaDouglas用的是thinkingabilities。
47.C。从下文举的例子看,她明白的是事情的起因,因此其它选项不合题意。
48.B。A项有较大干扰性。从前文我们知道AnnaDouglas是靠写文章与老年人交流,而不是建立了咨询中心,因此A项不合题意。
49.C。联系上下文我们可以推知,这位老年人与其孙子女关系并不融洽,因此当他进来时,孩子们就离开。
50.C。她给这位老人建议了几种方法。
51.B。A,多道程序设计C有较大干扰性。从空后的yourgrandchildren'sworld我们得知,想了解孙子女世界的一切是不可能的。教师行为准则
52.A。本空承接and前的分句而来,因此答案应在questioning和listening间选择,选项中没有questioning。
53.B。联系上文Saygoodthingstothemandaboutthem.得此答案。A项有一定干扰性,空前的Never决定了此选项不正确。
54.D。stickto在这里是“固执地坚持”。A,B均有一定干扰性。联系前文MrsDouglas认为老人应该多听听孙子女的见解,不要太固执地坚持自己的看法。speakout意思是“说出”,giveup是“放弃”,因此不合题意。
55.A。D有较大干扰性。Naturally意思是“自然而然地”,而Commonly指“通常情况下”。
