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.
