Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Living with parents edges out other living arrangements for 18-to 34-year -olds.[A]Broad demographic(人口的) shifts is marital status, educational attainment and employment have transformed the way young adults in the U.S. are living, and a new Pew Research Center analysis highlights the implications of these changes for the most basic element of their lives—where they call home. In 2014, for the first time in more than 130 years, adults ages 18 to 34 were slightly more likely to be living in their parents' home than they were to be living with a spouse or partner in their own household.[B]This turn of events is fueled primarily by the dramatic drop in the share of young Americans who are choosing to settle down romantically before age 35. Dating back to 1880, the most common living arrangement among young adults has been living with a romantic partner, whether a spouse or a significant other.This type of arrangement peaked around 1960, when 62% of the nation's 18-to 34-year -olds were living with a spouse or partner in their own household, and only one-in-five were living with their parents.[C]By 2014, 31.6% of young adults were living with a spouse or partner in their own household, below the share living in the home of their parent(s) (32.1%). Some 14% of young adults lived alone, were a single parent or lived with one or more roommates. The remaining 22% lived in the home of another family member (such as a grandparent, in-law or sibling(兄弟姐妹)), a non-relative, or in group quarters like college dormitories.[D]It's worth noting that the overall share of young adults living with their parents was not at a record high in 2014. This arrangement peaked around 1940, when about 35% of the nation's 18-to 34-year -olds lived with mom and/or dad (compared with 32% in 2014). What has changed, instead, is the relative share adopting different ways of living in early adulthood, with the decline of romantic coupling pushing living at home to the top of a much less uniform list of living arrangements.[E]Among young adults, living arrangements differ significantly by gender. For men ages18 to 34, living at home with mom and/or dad has been the dominant living arrangement since 2009, In 2014, 28% of young men were living with a spouse of partner in their own home, while 35% were living in the home of their parent(s). Young women, however, are still more likely to be living with a spouse of romantic partner (35%) than they are to be living with theirparent(s)(29%).[F]In 2014, more young women (16%) than young men (13%) were heading up a household without a spouse or partner. This is mainly because women aremore likely than men to be single parents living with their children. For their part, young men (25%) are more likely than young women(19%)to be living in the home of another family member, a non-relative or in some type of group quarters.[G]A variety of factors contribute to the long-run increase in the share of young. Adults living with the parents. The first in the postponement of, if not retreat from, marriage. The average age of first marriage has risen steadily for decades. In addition, a growing share of young adult may be avoiding marriage altogether. A previous Pew Research Center analysis projected that asmany as one-in-four of today's young adult may never marry. While cohabitation (同居) has been on the rise, the overall share of young adults either married or living with an unmarried partner has substantially fallen since 1990.[H]In addition, trends in both employment status and wages have likely contributed to the growing share of young adults who are living in the home of their parent(s), and this is especially true of young men. Employed young men are much less likely to live at home than young men without a job, and employment among young men has fallen significantly in recent decades. The share of young men with jobs peaked around 1960 at 84%. In 2014, only 71% of 18-to 34-year-old men were employed. Similarly with earnings, young men's wages (after adjusting for inflation) have been on a downward trajectory (轨迹) since1970 and fell significantly form 2000 to 2010. As wages have fallen ,the share of young men living in the home of their parent(s) has risen.[I]Economic factors seem to explain less of why young adult women are increasingly likely to live at home. Generally, young women have had growing success in the paid labor market since 1960 and hence might increasingly be expected to be a be to afford to afford to live independently of their parents. For women, delayed marriage--which is related, in part, to labor market outcomes for men—may explain more of the increase in their living in the family home.[J]The Great Recession (and modest recovery) has also been associated with an increase in young adults living at home. Initially in the wake of the recession, college enrollments expanded, boosting the ranks of young adults living at home. And given the weak job opportunities facing young adults, living at home was part of the private safety net help young adults to weather the economic storm.[K]Beyond gender, young adult's living arrangements differ considerable by education—which is tied to financial means. For young adults without a bachelor's degree, as of 2008 living at home with their parents was more prevalent than living with a romantic partner. By 2014, 36% of 18-to 34-year-olds who had not completed a bachelor's degree were living with their parent(s) while 27% were living with a spouse or partner. Among college graduates, in 2014 46% were married or living with a partner, and only 19% were living with their parent(s). Young adults with a college degree have fared much better in thelabor market than their less-educated counterparts, which has in turn made it easier to establish their own households.37.Unemployed young men are more likely to live with their parents than the employed.38.In 2014, the percentage of men aged 18 to 34 living with their parents was greater than that of their female counterparts.39.The percentage of young people who are married or live with a partner has greatly decreased in the past three decades or so.40.Around the mid-20th century, only 20 percent of 18- to 34-year-old lived in their parents' home.41.Young adults with a college degree found it easier to live independently of their parents.42.Young men are less likely to end up as single parents than young women.43.More young adult women live with their parents than before due to delayed marriage.44.The percentage of young men who live with their parents has grown due to their decreased pay in recent decades.45.The rise in the number of college students made more young adults live with their parents.46.One reason for young adults to live with their parents is that get married lateor stay single all their lives.Part Ⅲ Reading Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A、B、C、and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.According to the majority of Americans, women are every bit as capable of being good political leaders as men. The same can be said of their ability to dominate the corporate boardroom. And according to a new Pew Research Center survey on women and leadership, most Americans find women indistinguishable from men on key leadership traits such as intelligence and capacity for innovation, with many saying they're stronger than men in terms of being passionate and organized leaders.So why, then, are women in short supply at the top of government and business in the United States? According to the public, at least, it's not that they lack toughness, management talent or proper skill sets.It's also not all about work-life balance. Although economic research and previous survey findings have shown that career interruptions related to motherhood may make it harder for women to advance in their careers and compete for top executive jobs, relatively few adults in the recent survey pointto this as akey barrier for women seeking leadership roles. Only about one-in-five say women's family responsibilities are a major reason why there aren’t more females in top leadership positions in business and politics.Instead, topping the list of reasons, about four-in-ten Americans point to a double standard for women seeking to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business, where they have to do more than their male counterparts to prove themselves. Similar shares say the electorate (选民) and corporate America are just not ready to put more women in top leadership positions.Asa result, the public is divided about whether the imbalance in corporate America will change in the foreseeable future, even though women have made major advances in the workplace. While 53% believe men will continue to hold more top executive positions in business in the future, 44% say it's only a matter of time before as many women are in top executive positions as men. Americans are less doubtful when it comes to politics: 73% expect to see a female president in their lifetime.47.What do most Americans think of women leaders according to a new Pew Research Center survey?A.They have to do more to distinguish themselves.B.They have to strive harder to win their positions.C.They are stronger than men in terms of willpower.D.They are just as intelligent and innovative as men.48.What do we learn from previous survey findings about women seeking leadership roles?A.They have unconquerable difficulties on their way to success.B.They are lacking in confidence when competing with men.C.Their failures may have something to do with family duties.D.Relatively few are hindered in their career advancement.49.What is the primary factor keeping women from taking top leadership positions according to the recent survey?A.Personality traits.B.Family responsibilities.C.Gender bias.ck of vacancies.50.What does the passage say about corporate America in the near future?A.More and more women will sit in the boardroom.B.Gender imbalance in leadership is likely to change.C.The public is undecided about whether women will make good leaders.D.People have opposing opinions as to whether it will have more women leaders.51.What do most Americans expect to see soon on America's political stage?A.A woman in the highest position of government.B.More and more women actively engaged in politics.C.A majority of women voting for a female president.D.As many women in top government positions as men.Passage TwoQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.People have grown taller over the last century, with South Korean women shooting up bymore than 20cm on average, and Iranian men gaining. 16.5cm. A global studylooked at the average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries 1914 and 2014.The results reveal that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1914, Dutch men have risen from 12th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182.5 cm. Larvian women. Meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1914to become the tallest in the world a century later, with an average height of 169.8cm.James Bentham, a co-author of the research from Imperial College, London, says the global trend is likely to be due primarily to improvements in nutrition a nd healthcare. "An individual’s genetics has a big influence on their height, but once you average over whole populations, genetics plays a less keyrole," he added.A little extra height brings a number of advantages, says Elio Riboli of Imperial College. "Being taller is associated with longer life expectancy," he said. "This is largely due to a lower risk of dying of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease among taller people."But while height has increased around the world, the trend in many countries of north and sub-Saharan Africa causes concern, says Riboli.

1. 【答案】A
【解析】根据
下一句及随后的内容，的动物爱 好者的 (
从
小 ) A.how 。
2. 【答案】 C 【解析】 in the first place 是固定短语, 意思是“首先”。

“ z o
o 物园
)
,
而
不”
, “爸
爸”
,
所
以选
clarity “清晰”。
填入其他选项emotion ( 感情),sentiment( 多愁善 感),affection( 友爱) 不合逻辑。
4. 【答案】 B 【解析】 but 在此处连接另一个句子 (it was the word “zoo ”, “it was ”被省略 ) ，表示转折，意为“而是”， Except,except for,but for 的用法接近，表示“除了⋯ ⋯ ”。
例如： We go there every day except Sunday. He answered all the questions except for the last one. For a year the dam remained complete but for the generators. 从意思上，逻辑上，都理应选but 。
5. 【答案】 D 【解析】根据后面的 over and over again,应选“ repeat ” 6. 【答案】 C
【解析】小孩想去动物园, 便不停地发出尖叫声, 故选“voice ”。
A shrill voice 与scream 的意思接近。
volume(音量);noise( 噪
音);pitch( 音调) 均不合要求。

只好带他去动物园。

9. 【答案】C

great / large amount of 后跟不可数名词; 只有a great
/large number of 后能够跟可数名词的复数形式。
例如：
I read a great many English books.
A large amount of money is spent on tobacco
every year.
A great number of civilians were murdered in
cold blood.
10. 【答案】D
【解析】living 后必须接介词in ，意为“居住”;cultivating
耕种;reclaiming 开垦; 只有exploring 有探察的意思。
11. 【答案】C
【解析】add to 相当于increase ，增加。
其余选项后面都不接
to 。
12. 【答案】A
【解析】later on 为固定短语，“后来”。
13. 【答案】D
【解析】attendant 仆人;keeper 可理解为“饲养员”，但是 a student keeper 容易被误解为“收留学生的人”;aide 有“助手”之义。
作者一边上学，一边在动物园里打工，只能当助手。
14. 【答案】D
【解析】which 在此引导定语从句，修饰前面列出的动物。
15. 【答案】D
【解析】因为钱是在动物园打工挣的，选successfully 更能体现其含义。
16. 【答案】D
【解析】finance。
