解析:

1.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。keep rich意思是“富有”,从后文she was even willing to work without pay. 可以看出B项不合题意。

2.从空后的that helped other businesses find jobs for old people. 可以看出,她提供的是商业服务。

3.从空后的By talking with them可以看出,Anna Douglas每天都与很多老年人会面,而不是观察或安慰他们。

4.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。

5.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。

6.6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。

7.从后文She began to write a newspaper column called“Sixty Plus”,我们知道,她为国家杂志写人物故事是以前的事。

8.联系上下文Old people like herself. 是报纸的一个话题(subject),因此其它选项不合题意。

9.get old在这里为系表结构,其它选项不正确。

10. 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。

11.从空后的see the truth behind a problem我们得知,Anna Douglas用的是 thinking abilities。

12.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。

13.A项有较大干扰性。从前文我们知道Anna Douglas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。

14.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。

15.她给这位老人建议了几种方法。

16.A,C有较大干扰性。从空后的 your grandchildren's world我们得知,想了解孙子女世界的一切是不可能的。

17.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。

18.联系上文Say good things to them and about them. 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。

19.stick to在这里是“固执地坚持”。A,B均有一定干扰性。联系前文Mrs Douglas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。 speak out意思是“说出”,give up是“放弃”,因此不合题意。

20.D有较大干扰性。Naturally意思是“自然而然地”,而Commonly指“通常情况下”。
