As a child I was one of the 125 people at our family gathering for New Year. These days we were a much smaller group in Belle Valley, Ohio. I insisted (坚持要求的)on acting as hostess and wanted to bring back the joy I’d felt at my childhood New Year that filled with love.
As family members arrived at the hall, I handed each one of them a numbered card and said, “Time for the alphabet game.” “What kind of game is that ” one of my great-grandchildren asked. “well,” I said, “who’s got number one ” A cousin raised her hand. “Tell us something you never forget,” I said. “Something that begins with the letter A.” My cousin smiled. “Apple pie!” she said. Great-granddaughter Mindy was next. “B,” she said. “I am impressed by Buckeye Country.” “Cookies!” Number 3 shouted.
Until Number 17, “The next one’s a challenge,” I said. “Who’s got 17 ” Ryan, my son, slowly raised his hand. “Q,” he said. “Quaker City Camival(嘉年华).” The room went silent.
“It’s one of the oldest traditions in Ohio,” Ryan said. “Grandma and Grandpa met there. That’s where they fell in love. That’s where this whole thing started. This whole family.” Ryan looked around the room, making eye contact with everyone. “We wouldn’t be here celebrating New Year together if it wasn’t for Quaker City Carnival.”
The room burst into laughter and was full of the love that had kept us connected to our Ohio traditions. “This is the best New Year we’ve ever had,” a great-grandson said to me secretly. Whatever their New Year would look like when they grew up, they’d remember this one. And for me, I had an unforgettable New Year to treasure-a memory where love started with the letter Q.

Who says that being roommates with someone from a completely different generation has to be strange Lately, more and more Americans are becoming intergenerational (代际的)roommates, and they’re changing the way people think they should be living.
Explained as those that are separated by at least one generation living together, there has been a major increase in intergenerational roommate arrangements (安排)within the United States since 1971. In fact, statistics show that this number has actually quadrupled (增长四倍)since then. In a Pew Research Center article, it shared that by March 2021, there were at least 59. 7 million Americans that had many generations living under one roof.
There are a ton of reasons that come into play for these types of arrangements. For some, it’s because of the increase in the average life-expectancy age(平均预期寿命), a decreased birth rate, a rise in college tuition, the ever rising rentals in almost every coastal city, and more. But if anything, many say that one main reason behind the rise is that older people have space to rent out and that having younger people around just makes them happier.
According to a 25-year-old robotics student living in Massachusetts, Nadia Abdullah, who moved in with her 64-year-old roommate Judith in 2019, “It was perfect——Judith has become like my family.”
Their arrangement was $700 a month from Nadia plus the promise of her doing some help around the house. This also allowed Nadia to live just 6 miles from Boston and 30 minutes from her robotics job located in Beverly Mass. Nadia was matched with Judith through website, a renting center specifically created to find intergenerational roommates.
Another young renting center reviewer, Kaplan, also gave some opinions on the service and why it’s so special, saying, “Through this, I lived with Sarah while attending Harvard. She provided the type of knowledge you just can’t Google——showing me how to garden, how to cook fish, and add French Romanticism to life.”
8. What is the increasing housing trend mentioned in the text.
A. More people are living together as roommates.
B. Strangers of a generation are living together like a family.
C. Different generations are living under the same roof.
D. Family members of different generations are living together.
9. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. The types of the arrangements. B. The reasons for the arrangements.
C. The solutions to the arrangements. D. The problems with the arrangements.
10. What could Kaplan learn from the roommate
A. How to google special knowledge. B. How to build a garden.
C. How to fish. D. How to live a romantic life
11. What can be concluded from Nadia and Kaplan’s experiences
A. The website is popular with university students.
B. The intergenerational roommates should help each other.
C. The intergenerational roommate arrangements work well.
D. The elderly benefit more than the young from the arrangements.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在美国，越来越多的隔代人群选择居住在同一屋檐下。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Explained as those that are separated by at least one generation living together, there has been a major increase in intergenerational roommate arrangements (安排)within the United States since 1971. In fact, statistics show that this number has actually quadrupled (增长四倍)since then. In a Pew Research Center article, it shared that by March 2021, there were at least 59. 7 million Americans that had many generations living under one roof.(被解释为至少有一代人住在一起，自1971年以来，美国的代际室友安排大幅增加。事实上，统计数据显示，从那时起，这个数字实际上已经翻了四番。皮尤研究中心在一篇文章中表示，截至2021年3月，至少有59人。700万美国人，几代人生活在一个屋檐下。)”可知，文章中所提到的这种正在增长的住房趋势指的是“不同代人群在同一屋檐下居住”。故选C项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“There are a ton of reasons that come into play for these types of arrangements. For some, it’s because of the increase in the average life-expectancy age(平均预期寿命)，a decreased birth rate, . a rise in college tuition, the ever rising rentals in almost every coastal city, and more. But if anything, many say that one main reason behind the rise is that older people have space to rent out and that having younger people around just makes them happier.(对于这些类型的安排，有很多因素在起作用。对一些人来说，这是因为平均预期寿命的增加，出生率的下降，大学学费的上涨，几乎每个沿海城市的租金都在上涨，等等。但如果有什么不同的话，许多人声称，房价上涨的一个主要原因是老年人有房子出租，而年轻人在身边让他们更快乐。)”可知，本段主要分析了“隔代人群在同一屋檐下居住”这种安排的原因。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She provided the type of knowledge you just can’t Google-showing me how to garden, how to cook fish, and add French Romanticism to life.(她提供了你无法在谷歌上搜索到的知识——教我如何园艺，如何烹饪鱼，以及如何将法式浪漫主义融入生活。)”可知，Kaplan可以从年长的室友那里学会如何做园艺、烹饪鱼以及浪漫地生活。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“It was perfect——Judith has become like my family.(这太完美了，Judith就像我的家人一样。)”可知，Nadia很满意和年老的人一起居住。以及最后一段中“Through this, I lived with Sarah while attending Harvard. She provided the type of knowledge you just can’t Google——showing me how to garden, how to cook fish, and add French Romanticism to life.(通过这件事，我在哈佛上学时和萨拉住在一起。她提供了你无法在谷歌上搜索到的知识，向我展示了如何园艺、如何烹饪鱼类，并将法国浪漫主义融入生活。)”可知，Kaplan认为这项服务有特别之处。可以推断出，隔代人群在同一屋檐下居住，这种安排效果很好。故选C项。
D
The standard school field trip often includes an outing to a museum, but a new resource provides guidance on how to bring a museum into the classroom. As part of the Mobile Museum Project, the Royal Holloway, University of London, and the Kew Royal Botanic Gardens teamed up to create a Curaring (管理) a school museum: Teachers’handbook. The project, which can be used for any age group, turns the traditional understanding of a museum on its head: “The primary aim of object-based learning should be to learn from rather than about objects.”
Asking questions such as, “What do you want people to learn and why ” and “Who are you hoping to attract and why ” help students understand the purpose of their exhibit. Collecting the objects for the museum is a learning process in and of itself: “culturally significant” objects, such as an object passed down through a family or an object from a student’s home country, can generate storytelling and help students build a sense of historical understanding and empathy (共鸣) . Such a process can encourage students to think independently and critically, thus making their mind quicker and sharper.
Once gathered, students can practice thematic (主题的) grouping by dividing the objects into different kinds, “scientific, thematic, or geographic,” before organizing the collection for final exhibit. Students might be asked to create an explanatory series to show the relationship between objects. For example, an exhibit description might show the changes of an object: “wheat seeds to wheat seedlings, to flour, and to flour products”. Designing and writing labels (标签) provide another way to incorporate storytelling into the curating process.
The museum concept is a broad form that can be used—and reorganized—to combine different subjects. After the project’s completion, be sure to collect advice, even criticism from students. Did students learn new things from the objects Students can work together to explore “what worked and what didn’t work, and what might be done differently next time” This gives students a chance to critically grade their own work.
12. What is the main purpose of the Mobile Museum Project
A. To help students make their own objects.
B. To encourage students to join the team.
C. To get students to learn from objects.
D. To introduce students to museums.
13. What can we conclude from the second paragraph
A. Storytelling skills are valued in the process.
B. Students are required to learn to run a museum.
C. It is important to question before holding an exhibition.
D. To stage an exhibition can sharpen students’mind.
14. What does the underlined word “incorporate” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Translate. B. Divide.
C. Include. D. Throw.
15. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph
A. Review the project. B. Get familiar with a subject.
C. Learn to grade one’s work. D. Find time to see the world.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作为移动博物馆项目的一部分，皇家霍洛威、伦敦大学和邱皇家植物园合作创建了一个学校博物馆：教师手册。该项目可用于任何年龄段，颠覆了人们对博物馆的传统理解。由此，文章介绍了基于对象的学习。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The primary aim of object-based learning should be to learn from rather than about objects. (基于对象的学习的主要目的应该是从对象中学习，而不是学习对象。)”可知移动博物馆的主要目的是使学生从对象中学习，故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Asking questions such as, “What do you want people to learn and why ” and “Who are you hoping to attract and why ” help students understand the purpose of their exhibit. Collecting the objects for the museum is a learning process in and of itself: “culturally significant” objects, such as an object passed down through a family or an object from a student’s home country, can generate storytelling and help students build a sense of historical understanding and empathy (共鸣) . Such a process can encourage students to think independently and critically, thus making their mind quicker and sharper. (问这样的问题：“你想让人们学习什么 为什么 ”以及“你希望吸引谁，为什么 ”，帮助学生理解展览的目的。为博物馆收集物品本身就是一个学习的过程：“具有文化意义”的物品，比如一件家庭传下来的物品或一件来自学生祖国的物品，可以产生故事情节，帮助学生建立对历史的理解和同理心。这样的过程可以鼓励学生独立思考和批判性思考，从而使他们的思维更快、更敏锐。)”可知，举办展览可以让学生在收集物品的过程中学习，进而使他们的思维更敏锐，故选D项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“storytelling into the curating process.(将讲故事……策展过程)”可推理出划线词的含义为“将……包括在内”，故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“After the project’s completion, be sure to collect advice, even criticism from students. Did students learn new things from the objects Students can work together to explore “what worked and what didn’t work, and what might be done differently next time” (项目完成后，一定要收集学生的建议，甚至批评。学生们从这些物品中学到了新东西吗？学生们可以一起探索“哪些有效，哪些无效，以及下次可能采取的不同做法”)”可知最后一段建议我们要在项目结束后，及时对项目的开展情况进行反思，故选A项。

【36题详解】
考查代词。句意：但是人们相信第一个风筝是在2000多年前由中国人发明的。分析句子可知，此处为it is believed that…“据信，据认为”的固定句型，其中it作形式主语，that引导的主语从句作真正的主语。故填it。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：一开始，风筝被用于军事和防御。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，主语the kites为复数名词和动词use为被动关系，结合语境可知，该句为陈述过去发生的事情，所以为一般过去时的被动语态结构。故填were used。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：自清朝以来，风筝主要用于娱乐和庆祝活动。由and连接的celebrations为名词可知，此处也应为名词形式，共同并列作句子的宾语成分。故填entertainment。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：访问中国的商人把风筝带到了印度、韩国和亚洲其他地区。分析句子可知，此处为关系代词who/that引导的定语从句，先行词Businessmen（指人）在从句中作主语成分。故填who/that。
【40题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：马可·波罗是第一个把中国风筝带到欧洲的人，他在13世纪进行了一次著名的中国之旅。由空前the first可知，此处为动词不定式形式，构成the first…to do..“第一个做某事的……”，所以此处为动词不定式作后置定语。故填to take。
【41题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意：他也是最早写风筝的作家之一，向西方读者解释如何使用风筝。由空前one of可知，此处为名词复数形式，表示“……的其中之一”。故填authors。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他也是最早写风筝的作家之一，向西方读者解释如何使用风筝。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，explain和逻辑主语He为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填explaining。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：山东潍坊被认为是世界风筝之都，潍坊国际风筝节吸引了来自世界各地的许多游客。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，根据句意可知，该句为陈述客观事实，所以为一般现在时，主语Weifang International Kite Festival为单数名词，所以为动词三单形式。故填attracts。
【44题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：潍坊还拥有世界上最著名的风筝博物馆。根据语境以及表示范围的介词短语in the world可知，此处应用形容词最高级形式。故填the most famous。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在潍坊风筝博物馆，你可以看到令人印象深刻的各个时期的风筝收藏。根据句意以及空后impressive collection为单数名词可知，此处应表示泛指“一个令人印象深刻的收藏”为泛指概念，结合impressive为首音节元音单词，所以为不定冠词an的填入。故填an。

As family members arrived at the hall, I handed each one of them a numbered card and said, “Time for the alphabet game.” “What kind of game is that ” one of my great-grandchildren asked. “well,” I said, “who’s got number one ” A cousin raised her hand. “Tell us something you never forget,” I said. “Something that begins with the letter A.” My cousin smiled. “Apple pie!” she said.

Until Number 17, “The next one’s a challenge,” I said. “Who’s got 17 ” Ryan, my son, slowly raised his hand. “Q,” he said. “Quaker City Camival(嘉年华).” The room went silent.
“It’s one of the oldest traditions in Ohio,” Ryan said. “Grandma and Grandpa met there. That’s where they fell in love. That’s where this whole thing started. This whole family.” Ryan looked around the room, making eye contact with everyone. “We wouldn’t be here celebrating New Year together if it wasn’t for Quaker City Carnival.”
The room burst into laughter and was full of the love that had kept us connected to our Ohio traditions. “This is the best New Year we’ve ever had,” a great-grandson said to me secretly. Whatever their New Year would look like when they grew up, they’d remember this one. And for me, I had an unforgettable New Year to treasure-a memory where love started with the letter Q.

Who says that being roommates with someone from a completely different generation has to be strange Lately, more and more Americans are becoming intergenerational (代际的)roommates, and they’re changing the way people think they should be living.
Explained as those that are separated by at least one generation living together there has been a major increase in intergenerational roommate arrangements (安排)within the United States since 1971. In fact, statistics show that this number has actually quadrupled (增长四倍)since then. In a Pew Research Center article, it shared that by March 2021, there were at least 59. 7 million Americans that had many generations living under one roof.
There are a ton of reasons that come into play for these types of arrangements. For some, it’s because of the increase in the average life-expectancy age(平均预期寿命), a decreased birth rate, a rise in college tuition, the ever rising rentals in almost every coastal city, and more. But if anything, many say that one main reason behind the rise is that older people have space to rent out and that having younger people around just makes them happier.
According to a 25-year-old robotics student living in Massachusetts, Nadia Abdullah, who moved in with her 64-year-old roommate Judith in 2019, “It was perfect——Judith has become like my family.”
Their arrangement was $700 a month from Nadia, plus the promise of her doing some help around the house. This also allowed Nadia to live just 6 miles from Boston and 30 minutes from her robotics job located in Beverly Mass. Nadia was matched with Judith through website, a renting center specifically created to find intergenerational roommates.
Another young renting center reviewer, Kaplan, also gave some opinions on the service and why it’s so special, saying, “Through this, I lived with Sarah while attending Harvard. She provided the type of knowledge you just can’t Google——showing me how to garden, how to cook fish, and add French Romanticism to life.”
8. What is the increasing housing trend mentioned in the text.
A. More people are living together as roommates.
B. Strangers of a generation are living together like a family.
C. Different generations are living under the same roof.
D. Family members of different generations are living together.
9. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. The types of the arrangements. B. The reasons for the arrangements.
C. The solutions to the arrangements. D. The problems with the arrangements.
10. What could Kaplan learn from the roommate
A. How to google special knowledge. B. How to build a garden.
C. How to fish. D. How to live a romantic life
11. What can be concluded from Nadia and Kaplan’s experiences
A. The website is popular with university students.
B. The intergenerational roommates should help each other.
C. The intergenerational roommate arrangements work well.
D. The elderly benefit more than the young from the arrangements.
D
The standard school field trip often includes an outing to a museum but a new resource provides guidance on how to bring a museum into the classroom. As part of the Mobile Museum Project, the Royal Holloway, University of London, and the Kew Royal Botanic Gardens teamed up to create a Curaring (管理) a school museum: Teachers’handbook. The project, which can be used for any age group, turns the traditional understanding of a museum on its head: “The primary aim of object-based learning should be to learn from rather than about objects.”
Asking questions such as, “What do you want people to learn and why ” and “Who are you hoping to attract and why ” help students understand the purpose of their exhibit. Collecting the objects for the museum is a learning process in and of itself: “culturally significant” objects, such as an object passed down through a family or an object from a student’s home country, can generate storytelling and help students build a sense of historical understanding and empathy (共鸣) . Such a process can encourage students to think independently and critically, thus making their mind quicker and sharper.
Once gathered, students can practice thematic (主题的) grouping by dividing the objects into different kinds, “scientific, thematic, or geographic,” before organizing the collection for final exhibit. Students might be asked to create an explanatory series to show the relationship between objects. For example, an exhibit description might show the changes of an object: “wheat seeds to wheat seedlings, to flour, and to flour products”. Designing and writing labels (标签) provide another way to incorporate storytelling into the curating process.
The museum concept is a broad form that can be used—and reorganized—to combine different subjects. After the project’s completion, be sure to collect advice, even criticism from students. Did students learn new things from the objects Students can work together to explore “what worked and what didn’t work, and what might be done differently next time” This gives students a chance to critically grade their own work.
