(2016·全国乙卷)
Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third­generation native of Brownsville, Texas，Mildred Garza never planned to move away.Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused.Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms.Garza finally say yes.That was four years ago.Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.
No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren.Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing.Even President Obama's mother-in-law, Marian Robinson，has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters.According to a study by ，83 percent of the people said Mrs.Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the American family.Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama's family.
“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own，”says Christine Crosby,
publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents.“We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you're raising children.”
Moving is not for everyone.Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead.Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling，but giving up the life you know may be harder.
1．Why was Garza's move a success?
A．It strengthened her family ties.
B．It improved her living conditions.
C．It enabled her to make more friends.
D．It helped her know more new places.
2．What was the reaction of the public to Mrs.Robinson's decision?
A．17% expressed their support for it.
B．Few people responded sympathetically.
C．83% believed it had a bad influence.
D．The majority thought it was a trend.
3．What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?
A．They were unsure of themselves.
B．They were eager to raise more children.
C．They wanted to live away from their parents.
D．They had little respect for their grandparents.
4．What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?
A．Make decisions in the best interests of their own.
B．Ask their children to pay more visits to them.
C．Sacrifice for their struggling children.
D．Get to know themselves better.

【解析答案】
Ⅰ.1.B考查动词短语辨析。

句意：他干了这么多重活，累得精疲力尽，差不多睡着了。

worn out“精疲力尽的”，符合句意。

wear down“使消瘦，使厌烦”；wear off“渐渐减少，消逝”；wear away“消磨，打发，虚度，(时光等)流逝”。

2．D there位于句首时，句子用全部倒装，故选D。

3．A句意：昨天我在大街上行走时，看见一个衣衫褴褛的乞丐。

in rags“破衣烂衫，衣衫褴褛”；in vain“徒劳”；in sight“看见”；in control“处于控制中”。

4．D句意：我认为这把椅子不能承受你的重量，它是专门为小孩子设计的。

be intended for...“专门为……，专门给……”。

5．B句意：在妇女节这天，那对双胞胎姐妹外出购物了几个小时，成功买到了几袋子减价品。

come across“偶遇”；pick up“买到”；deal with“处理”；take in“收留，收容”。

根据句意可知应选B项。

6．B本题结合名词词义辨析考查语境选词。

句意：我们大都更愿意答应我们所了解和喜欢人的______。

attempt尝试；request要求，请求；doubt怀疑；promise保证，允诺。

由语境可知，只能是对别人的请求(requests)说yes，即：答应对方的请求。

7．B考查动词短语及非谓语动词。

consist of“由……构成”，为不及物动词短语，没有被动语态；be made up of“由……组成”。

因此，可排除A、D两项；第二个空考查独立主格结构作状语的情况，last“持续”，为不及物动词，且与主语each之间为主动关系，应用现在分词形式作状语。

故选B。

8．C句意：他被大雨淋了。

那就是他生病住院的原因。

固定表达that's why...“那就是……的原因”；而that's because...则表示“那是因为……”。

9．A考查非谓语动词。

句意：凉爽的风通过我们卧室的窗户吹进来，没有必要吹空调了。

题中swept是谓语动词，所以make只能用非谓语动词形式；句子主语the cooling wind与make是主动关系，故用现在分词作结果状语。

to make 也可以作结果状语，但表示出乎意料的结果，不符合语境。

10．B句意：这名医生治疗心脏病医术高超，而且从不收病人的礼物，所以他的名声很好。

reputation“声誉，名声”，符合句意。

expectation“期望”；
contribution“贡献”；civilization“文明”。

11．C句意：汤姆喜欢读古典小说，并梦想成为一名作家。

adore doing sth.“喜欢干某事”；dream of doing sth.“梦想做某事”。

12．C rescue sb.from...意思是“把某人从……中解救出来”，符合题意。

13．B句意：虽然我费了很大劲才叫醒他，但Frank坚持认为他没睡着。

although“虽然，尽管”，引导让步状语从句。

14．A句意：我现在陷入严重的债务危机中，但是我希望发了工资后会摆脱债务困扰。

由后半句的“out of it when I get paid”可知A项正确。

in debt“欠债”；in trouble“陷入困境”；in vain“徒劳的”；in danger“陷入危险”。

15．D marry sb.“和某人结婚”；be married to可以表示延续的动作，而get married不可以。

Ⅱpared to/with Shanghai 2.why I left
3．Although he has written a lot of books 4.donated money to support 5.that/which he told us
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。

主要论述了祖父母接到后代与他们同住的邀请后该如何做出选择。

1．A细节理解题。

根据第一段中的．..giving them a closer relationship...可知，Garza搬去和晚辈同住后，他们的关系更亲密了，这与A项的表述“这加强了她的家庭关系”相吻合，故选A项。

B、C、D三项表述的内容在文中未提及。

2．D推理判断题。

根据第二段中的．..83 percent of the people said Mrs.Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the American family.可知，83%的人认为Mrs.Robinson的决定将影响美国家庭的祖父母，但没说这有不好的影响，故排除C项；由此句也可判断出，17%的人对她的决定是持反对意见或是保持中立态度，而不是支持，故排除A项；根据第二段中的Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama's family.可知，三分之二的人认为更多的家庭将效仿奥巴马的家庭，由此可知它将成为一种趋势，故选D项，同时排除B 项。

3．C细节理解题。

根据第三段的第一句In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own...可知，在20世纪60年代，人们都有点儿狂野，急于“远走高飞”
来证明自己的能力，这与C项的表述“他们想远离父母生活”相吻合，故选C 项。

A、B、D三项表述的内容在文中未提及。

4．A推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的Moving is not for everyone.以及it is wiser to say no and visit frequently可知，作者建议老年人从自己的利益出发，做出选择，A项的表述与此相吻合。

根据visit frequently可知，文中指的是祖父母常去看看晚辈，而不是B项的“让他们的孩子多多探望他们”，故B项表述有误；文中虽然有is willing to make sacrifices和your adult child is struggling，但并不是要让祖父母为晚辈做出牺牲，故C项错误；D项在文中未提及。

【语篇解读】本文主要是为了宣传一个帮助孩子学习在生活中如何管理财务的网站，吸引家长登陆并注册。

5．A写作意图题。

本文的目的是为Tykoon这一网站做广告。

故选A。

6．B词义猜测题。

根据下文“such as extra TV time or staying up late”可推知，“incentives”表示的是一种奖励。

7．C推理判断题。

如果你能分享给5个朋友，让他们也报名参加并且保持活跃一个多月，你就会得到价值25美元的亚马逊网站的礼品卡，Tykoon这样做的目的是吸引更多的人。

8．D标题归纳题。
