6.While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged,loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face.Of all the reasons (32)that explain their loneliness,a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one.This phenomenon is commonly known as"Empty Nest Syndrome"(空巢综合症).
In order to seek (33)better(good) chances outside their countries,many young people have gone abroad,(34)leaving(leave) their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home.Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights,taking care of themselves,in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them.The fact (35)that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty (36)as they would have if they had not left their countries.Whatever the case,it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match (37)what they actually do.This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing timely response (38)for the needs of their aged parents.
The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents (39)has been described (describe) as"distant parent phenomenon",(40)which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries.Our society has not yet been well prepared for"Empty Nest Syndrome".

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了如今父母可能面对的问题:收入的担心以及孩子们的远离所带来的孤独感,收入的担心是老年人的一个相当普遍的问题,而很多的年轻人为了寻找更多更好的发展机会而去了国外,他们住在远离父母的地方且不知道什么时候才能回家,父母在孤独中度过无数的日日夜夜,照顾自己,希望他们的儿女们能回来陪伴他们,作者通过这篇文章告诉我们空巢老人都很孤独,我们不应该只是忙着自己的事业,而是要多抽出点时间去陪伴父母.

解答 32.that    考察短语的搭配,the reason that--原因是…表示一部分或全部原因,可以是直接的也可以是间接的次要原因,这里解释了人们感觉到孤独的原因,因此填that.
33.better   考察比较级的用法,这句话说明很多年轻人为了寻找更好的机会而出国,根据语意可知这里应该是更好的,故填比较级better.
34.leaving   考查现在分词做方式状语,联系前文可知此处是在说很多人出国去寻找更多的机会而离开父母,并且不知道什么时候回来,此时表示的是一个持续的状态,他们离开了父母,因此用动词的ing形式,故填leaving.
35.that   考察同位语从句,the fact that+客观事实,从句一般用一般现在时,表示为…这个事实…,本句表明事实上大部分的年轻人都去过欧洲或美洲,故填that.
36.as   考察连接短语,as…as用于比较句型,中间插入的是形容词或副词的原级.意思是"达到与什么相同的程度",此处是他们出国获得的价值与没有离开国家所做比较,故填as.
37.what    考察what引导名词性从句,这里what引导宾语从句,what在这里指代年轻人实际上所做的事情,故填what.
38.for    考察连词填空,本题需要根据语意填词,联系上下文可知本句指的是地理和文化的距离也防止了成年的孩子为年迈父母的需要提供及时的回应,故填for.
39.has been described    考察现在完成时,have been done现在完成时的被动形式,且表示一种持续发生的状态,这里指成年的孩子远离父母的现象,因此用has been described.
40.which    考察定语从句,这里的which指的是前文的"distant parent phenomenon",在这种情况下,成年的孩子住在远离他们的年迈的父母的地方,为非限制性定语从句,故填which.

点评 本题主要考查了用单词或短语的适当形式填空.做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上,灵活运用所学的基础知识.本题考到的知识点有:固定的短语,词类的转换,名词的复数形式,副词以及祈使句的用法等.因此,这就需要在平时的学习中,牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识.

1.Below is a page adapted from About Wikipedia (维基百科) on how to take full advantage of Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is a web-based,free-content encyclopedia (百科全书) in many languages.
§Exploring Wikipedia
Many visitors come to Wikipedia to acquire knowledge,while others come to share knowledge.At this very instant,dozens of articles are being improved,and new articles are also being created.Over 3,500articles have been listed by the Wikipedia community as featured articles.Another 15,000 articles are listed as good articles.Wikipedia is available in more than 280 languages including English.Its related projects include a dictionary,quotations,books,manuals,and scientific reference sources,and a news service.All of these are kept,updated,and managed by separate communities,and often include information and articles that can be hard to find through other common sources.
§Basic navigation in Wikipedia
Wikipedia articles are all linked,or cross-referenced.In every article,there are links to some related articles or Wikipedia pages with further in-depth information.Holding the mouse over a certain link will often show to where the link will lead.There are other links towards the ends of most articles,for other articles of interest,related websites and pages and so on.Some articles may also have links to dictionary definitions,audio-book readings,quotations,the same article in other languages etc.
§Using Wikipedia as a research tool
Wiki articles are never considered complete and may be continually edited and improved.Over time,this generally results in an upward trend of quality and a growing agreement over a representation of information.Users should be aware that not all articles are of encyclopedic quality from the start.Indeed,many articles start their lives as displaying a single viewpoint; and,after a long process of discussion,debate,and argument,they gradually take on a neutral point of view reached through agreement.Others may,for a while,become caught up in a heavily unbalanced viewpoint which can take some time-months perhaps-to achieve better balanced coverage of their subject.
§Wikipedia vs.paper encyclopedias
Wikipedia has advantages over traditional paper encyclopedias.Wikipedia has a very low"publishing"cost for adding or expanding entries and a low environmental impact in some respects,since it never needs to be printed.In addition,Wikipedia has wikilinks instead of in-line (内嵌) explanations and its articles provide not only summaries but also plenty of details.Additionally,the editorial cycle is short.A paper encyclopedia stays the same until the next edition,while editors can update Wikipedia at any instant,around the clock,to help ensure that articles keep up with the most recent events.

18.A.What do you think of the competition between China and the US?
B.What do you think of the image of"tiger mom?"
C.How do your daughters take the criticism about you after your book was published?
D.You said you would not get her Christmas gifts or anything when your daughter refused to repeatedly practice the music.How did your husband respond?
E.What do you think makes a good mother?
F.What does your husband think of your method of bringing up kids?

61.E
Chua's answer:Well,actually I think there are many ways of being a good mother.In my book my focus is just a memory about my own family story,me trying to raise my own children in a kind of traditional Chinese way.I make mistakes and I make fun of myself.It's amazing the way the book has been received internationally,because.I didn't intend my book to be telling other people of view and I am a proud strict"tiger mom".But I'm not trying to tell other people what are the best ways to teach or raise their children.
62.B
Chua's answer:Well,the title may sound a little frightening.Let me tell you why I chose the title.I was born in the year of the tiger.And"battle Hymn"in the United States comes from"The Battle Hymn of the Republic".The book is really about finding some sort of balance:how can we find the balance between the eastern way of parenting and the western way of parenting.In mays the book as been misunderstood maybe because of the title.
63.A
Chua's answer:I didn't write this book to have any foreign policy implications.But it's been taken into the foreign policy realm.It is of course true that there is a connection between child-raising and the future of nations.We are raising,as parents,the next generation.So I think Henry is right.We tapped into this thing of insecurity,American's fear about the rising power of china.A friend of mine told me that if the book hasd been called The Battle Hymn of an Italian Mother or The Battle Hymn of a Mexican Mother,nobody would have cared.It's really"China".you know.
64.F
Chua's answer:I don't think he opposes my idea of raising children.I'd like to think we have a combination,which is the right solution.You need a balance.From my perspective,what I give my kids is something that I thought was lacking in the US educational system.You know,they hate memorization,while in China you have too much of it.In the US,learning should be fun,a lot of games,.So I b rought hard work and disciplines.My husband and I think this is a great thing always teaching them to question the authority and to ask why.Don't accept everything just because somebody tells you.Figure it out yourself.I really think you need to combine both these qualities if you want creativity and dynamism.
65.C
Chua's answer:They both are stronger than I am.I am really proud of them.Their friends and communities supported them.At a time,I couldn't even look at the Internet because there are so many negative comments.And they would find the good ones and text them to me,saying"here's a good one mommy,hang in there."This experience has actually brought my family together.Believe it or not,not just my kids,also my parents and my three younger sisters have supported me.
16.Many little girls like flowers,watching butterflies and riding small horses.A lot of them also like cars,robots and spaceships.But most girls'clothing only has pictures of flowers,butterflies or horses.
Two mothers decided to make clothes that include all the things that little girls do and love.
Six-year-old Bella loves to play with cars.So her dress has pictures of cars on it.
"We haven't found this type of dress in the store,"Cathy,Bella's mother,says.
The car dress is from a new girl's clothing line called Princess Awesome.Rebecca Melsky set up the business.She says its products for girls have some designs normally found on boys'clothes.
It all started two years ago when Rebecca was hoping to buy clothing for her two-year-old,who liked robots,trucks and spaceships.
"One day when I walked through a girls'store,I thought to myself I wish they'd make one of those beautiful dresses that also have a robot on it because she will love that.And I thought someone should do that.Maybe I should do that,"Rebecca,said.
Her friend Eva St.Clair believed she should,and their business was born.The women sold the first 70 dresses they made at a market.So they decided to expand their business online.Their products sold very well there,too.
"They sold out so fast that I could not make them fast enough.We decided it was time to think about a factory,"Rebecca said.
So they started to raise money from people over the Internet.The women raised more than 215,000 within days,far more than the 35,000 they expected.
"Our biggest challenge is going to be how we expand as rapidly as people seem to want us to,"Rebecca said.
The women hope Princess Awesome will expand into products for girls of all ages and all interests.
