题目内容

【题目】With his key ________,he couldn't enter his home,so he had to wait for his wife to come home.

A. missed B. missing

C. losing D. left

【答案】B

【解析】考查形容词辨析。句意:因为找不到钥匙,他无法进入家中,只好等他妻子回家。with复合结构中,用missinglost,表示丢失”。 missing / lost者都可表"失去",但各有侧重点:lost是广义的"丢失",包含可找回和不能找回的意思;missing强调某物或某人暂时找不着了(含最终可能找到之意)。本句中只说钥匙暂时不见了,因此选 B。

【题目】Stayathome kids are named “generation nini” in Spain. They are those adults who still live at home and are neither working nor studying. But the problem is by no means limited to Spain. It is a worldwide problem.

In Italy, they are known as “bamboccioni” or big babies. There nearly 60 percent of 1834yearold adults still live in their parents' home, up from almost 50 percent since 1983. Once kept there by the love for their mama's homecooked food, the economic crisis has seen a rise in adults left unable to hold down a steady job or afford a home of their own. Last year, an Italian government minister admitted that his mother washed his clothes and made the bed for him until he was 30. He demanded a law forcing young Italians to leave their parents' home at 18 to stop them becoming hopelessly dependent on their parents.

In the UK, the government has made the term NEETS—not in employment, education or training for these children. In England alone the percent of NEETS aged 19-24 surged to 18.8 percent of the age group—in the last quarter of 2010, up 1.4 percent on the same period a year before. The number of British men in their 20s living with their parents has risen from 59 percent to 80 percent in the past 15 years, while the number of women has risen from 41 percent to 50 percent. The average age of the firsttime house buyers is now 38.

In the US, the problem is known as the “full nest syndrome (综合症)”. Adults there are left struggling to support adult children who have stayed at home with student debts and facing few job opportunities in a weak economy. A recent study showed almost a third of American adults aged 34 and under are living with their parents.
