Most people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in nursing homes. They【1】(leave) in the hands of strangers for the rest of their lives. Their grown children visit them【2】(occasion), but more often, they do not have any regular visitors. The truth is that the idea is an unfortunate myth — an 【3】(imagine) story. In fact, family members provide the most care【4】 elderly people need. Samuel Prestoon, a sociologist, has studied 【5】 the American family is changing. He has reported that by the time the average American couple reach 40 years of age, they have more parents than children. Moreover, because people today live longer after an illness than before, family members must provide long-term care. More【6】 (psychology) have found that all caregivers believe that they are the best people for the job. Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took 【7】 the responsibility of caring for 【8】 elderly relative. Many caregivers thought they had obligation 【9】 (help) their relatives, stating that helping others make them feel more useful. Most hoped that by helping someone, they would deserve care when they became old and dependent. Caring for the elderly and【10】 (take) care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone who might be involved.

【1】are left 考查语态。本句主语they与动词leave之间构成被动关系，所以使用被动语态。句意：在他们的余生中，他们被留在了陌生人的手里。

【2】occasionally 考查副词。在英语中副词通常做状语修饰形容词、副词或动词，形容词通常做定语或表语。所以本句中使用副词occasionally修饰动词短语visit them。

【3】imaginary 考查形容词。在英语中副词通常做状语修饰形容词、副词或动词，形容词通常做定语或表语。所以本句中使用形容词imaginary做定语修饰名词story。

【4】that 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是the most care，关系代词that指代先行词在句中做为动词need的宾语。

【5】how 考查宾语从句连词。本句中连接副词how引导动词study后面的宾语从句，并在句中作状语。社会学家Samuel Prestoon,已经研究了美国家庭是如何变化的。

【6】psychologists 考查名词。名词psychology心理学，这是一个抽象名词，没有复数形式。本句应该使用psychologists心理学家在句中做主语。

【7】on 考查动词短语。短语take on承担；社区工作者采访了护理者想知道他们为什么要承担起照顾年老的亲戚的责任。

【8】an 考查不定冠词。不定冠词a/an通常表示泛指，本句中使用an elderly relative泛指老年亲戚。

【9】to help 构成固定搭配。短语have obligation to do sth有义务做某事；他们都认为他们有义务帮助他们的亲戚。

【10】being taken 考查动名词用法。本句中动名词的被动形式being taken care of和caring for the elderly在句中做主语。

Trampolining

What’s more fun than standing still? Jumping up and down on a springy piece of fabric (织物)! This activity is known as trampolining and it’s sweeping the nation.

The idea of trampolining is ancient. Eskimos have been throwing each other in the air for thousands of years. Firemen began using a life net to catch people jumping from buildings in 1887. 【1】

A gymnast named George Nissan and his coach Larry Griswold made the first modern trampoline in 1936. They got the idea by watching swimming artists bouncing off of a tight net at the circus. They named their equipment after the Spanish word trampolín, which means diving board.

【2】 In 1942 they began making trampolines to sell to the public.

These injuries happen for many reasons. People may bounce too high and land off of the trampoline or onto the springs. 【4】 Perhaps the worst injuries happen when untrained people try to do flips(快速翻转). Landing on your neck or head can cause injuries or even kill you.

But don’t let all that bad news keep you down. There are many things that you can do to practice safe trampolining. Trampolines have been around for a while now. They have brought a lot of joy to many people. They can be a good source of exercise and activity. 【5】 But they can also be deadly. It is important to follow some professional guidance.

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE.

Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Cumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury (陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment the court could give out. It was, said the judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and the police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Cumming. When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking…

Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.”

“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly. “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”

Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee dear, pack your things. We’ll go to see him.”

She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can’t go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well— his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us? ”

Paddy was still weeping, but not for Frank, for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children.

Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.

So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”

The eyes didn’t liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.”

【1】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer.

B. The family didn’t find out what happened to Frank until three years later.

C. The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder.

D. Frank didn’t want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him.

【2】Paddy didn’t cry for Frank because he thought ________.

A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment

B. Frank should have told Fee what had happened

C. what had happened to Frank was killing Fee

D. Frank had always been a man of bad moral character

【3】Which of the following suggests that Fee was deeply shocked by what happened to Frank?

A. “Her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead.”

B. “Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants.”

C. “Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away.”

D. “The eyes didn’t liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks.”

【4】“She half-rose before sinking back …” (in Paragraph 6) shows that ________.

A. Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up

B. Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank

C. Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see Frank

D. Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish
