It showed that present economic conditions are discouraging young adults from leaving home and forcing those who have already gone, socalled boomerang children, to return.“Parents are continuing their financial involvement longer than we expected，” said Ted Beck, the president and CEO of National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE)About 60 percent of parents questioned in the survey said they are helping their adult children who are no longer in school financially, providing housing and living expenses. For an increasing number of adult children, the situation is bad. Twothirds of adult children, aged 18 to 39, who are not in school said they faced tougher financial pressures than previous generations, according to the survey. And nearly onethird of parents agreed that it was easier for them to earn money than for their children.Parents are helping their children out of genuine concern, and because they do not want to see them struggle. But Beck said that parents who make sacrifices to help their adult children should be cautious about their own finances. “If you are taking on extra debt or delaying retirement to help your adult child, you could be making a mistake and putting your own financial future in danger，” Beck warned. Boomerang children can also cause other problems for their parents. Thirty percent of parents said they had given up privacy since their adult children moved back home, while more than a quarter have taken on added debt, and ten percent have delayed retirement. But the survey also showed that 42 percent of adult children living at home are helping with the cooking and cleaning.8The underlined phrase“boomerang children” in the first paragraph likely means _.Aadult children visiting parents oftenBmarried adult childrenCadult children depending on parents for financial supportDadult children independent and successful in life9What is Ted Becks suggestion to the parents?AAsking their children to help with the housework.BLeaving their children to struggle to live.CBeing careful when helping their children financially.DPutting off their time of retirement.10According to the survey, we can know that _.Aabout 50% of parents give money to their adult children to cover the daily costBtwothirds of adult children are faced with financial problems in schoolConethird of adult children earn money more easily than their parentsD10 percent of parents has delayed retirement11What is the main idea of the whole text?AAdult children are less dependent.BParents help support adult children.CBad conditions affect children a lot.DAdult children like living with parents.DIs beauty something always positive? Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive（主管的） circle, beauty can bee a disadvantage.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the manly qualities required. This is true even in politics, “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, ” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates（候选人）. She asked 125 college students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males pletely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.12. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _. A. makes women look more honest and capable B. strengthens the manly qualities required C. often enables women to succeed quickly D. is of no importance to women13. Bowmans experiment shows that when it es to politics, attractiveness _.A. turns out to be a disadvantage to menB. has as little effect on men as on womenC. affects men and women alikeD. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women 14. According to the passage, peoples views on beauty are often _.A. practical B. one sided C. old fashioned D. supportive15. The passage is mainly about _.A. the advantages of being attractiveB. the disadvantages of being attractiveC. equal rights for womenD. the importance of appearance 第二节 （共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余项.We all wish we had just a bit more timeJust think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on _16_ But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter来源:Z-x-x-k Get Out of Bed Earlier If you normally get up at 7:30 am, try getting up at 7:00 amThat half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book youve been meaning to finish_17_l Do the Important Tasks FirstOnce you get to work, get the important ones done first （not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones）You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones来源:Z-X-X-K_18_The urgent tasks will still get done, and you wont miss the important onesl Reduce Interruptions If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letterConstant interruptions dont just eat up time, they also break your concentration When youve got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail_19_Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversationl _20_A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.

Yours, Li HuaC篇语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。一项调查表明，受美国低薪和高失业率影响，很多已经成年的子女不能脱离家庭独立生活，在经济上仍然要依靠父母。这种现象同时也引发了一些问题。8. 答案：C词义猜测题。根据文章第一段可知，由于受到美国经济的影响，很多成年的子女都受父母的资助，有些已经离开家的人又搬回家和父母同住。因此boomerang children应该是“指那些离开家一段时间又回家住，并接受父母资助的成年人”。故选C项。9. 答案：C细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第二句“But Beck said that parents who make sacrifices to help their adult children should be cautious about their own finances.”可知，那些牺牲自己帮助孩子的家长要当心自己的经济状况。故选C项。10. 答案：D细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句
