Unit 5 First Aid一、阅读理解。The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her parents. All shes ever wanted to do is to bee an elementary school teacher. However, Hipp has racked up(累计) $100,000 (about 0.67 million yuan) in student loan debt and isnt able to earn enough through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server tolive anywhere other than home.To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of adults who have been moving back in with their parents or never leaving home in the first place has been growing steadily.The Pew Research Center recently reported that 2016 was a milestone in the evolving living arrangements of young adults in the US. Until 2016, the most mon living arrangement for young adults was to be living in their own property as part of a couple. UBS Financial Services, a Swiss global financial services pany, released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesnt want them to leave. The report shows that 74 percent of millennials(千禧一代) get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. Millennials see their parents as peers, friends and mentors(导师). In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them. Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Group in the US, said “Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesnt necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest, he said. “They may like living at home and being able to save money.”He added, “While it has held back household formation and purchases on things, they are probably traveling more and eating out more. I dont know if it represents a change in moral values, its much more mon for adult children to live in their parents homes because its being part of the culture.”1.Whats the purpose of Caitlin Hipps story?A.

Why has the percentage of adults living with their parents been on the rise?C. Why are parents willing to help fund for young adults?D.

about who might _2_ what”并结合常识可知，送礼物要根据别人的喜好，所以作者的母亲会想别人喜欢什么。故选C项。3A根据“She was always thinking about who might _2_ what”和空前的“Creativity”可知，作者的母亲经常思考，所送的礼物既要有新意又要很体贴。thoughtfulness意为“体贴，关切”；sympathy意为“同情”；justice意为“公平”； authority意为“权威”。故选A项。4B根据第一段的第一句“My mother was a gift giver”可知，作者的母亲是一个给予者；结合该句中的“Creativity and _3_ went into the gifts she gave，and she_4_ a thankyou note”可知，她很欣赏感谢便条。故B项正确。5C根据该句中的“Once she sent out notes to her own children and grandchildren who had not acknowledged gifts，_5_ that they were now on herFecal Roster(黑名单)”可知，有一次她给收到礼物却没有表达感谢的孩子和孙子发了纸条，纸条上说他们现在在她的“黑名单”上。assume意为“假设”； abuse意为“滥用”；state意为“陈述，说明”；correct意为“纠正”。故选C项。6D根据该句中的“she had received a proper thank you”并结合上文可知，母亲不会将孩子们(的名字)从“黑名单”上删除，直到她收到一句谢谢。故选D项。7A根据上文可知，作者的母亲送礼物的时候，希望得到一句谢谢。send意为“发送”；purchase意为“购买”；conduct意为“进行”；obtain意为“获得”。故选A项。8B根据第一段第二句中的“Christmas，birthdays，anniversaries or no occasion at all”可知，不只是在节假日，母亲在很多情况下都会准备礼物；结合该句中的“shed give you another gift the next_8_ she had”可知，她会在下一次有机会时赠给你另一件礼物。B项意为“机会”，符合语境。9B她认为没有礼貌是你的问题，而不是她的问题。得到礼物不回谢应该是没有礼貌的行为，故B项符合语境。10C根据空后的“all of us would gather in the driveway as they unloaded luggage”可知，作者的父母是开车过去的。drive over意为“驱车前来”，符合语境，故选C项。11A根据该句中的“There was always something for the kids”及下文可知，他们总是给孩子们带一些东西，通常是一些小玩具或者是自制的饼干。故选A项。12C根据该句中的“a couple of little toys or a big _12_ of homemade cookies”及常识可知，饼干是放在盒子之类的容器(container)里的。tank意为“(贮放液体或气体的)箱”，cage意为“笼子”，holder意为“持有者”，均不符合语境。故选C项。13D根据该句和前一句“They werent gifts for particular occasions”可知，它们不是为特殊场合而准备的礼物，只是(simply)关于“难道生活不美好吗？”的礼物。“Isnt life great？” gifts可以理解为“彰显生活美好的礼物”。故选D项。14D一个春天，当作者的父母来拜访时，母亲递给作者一个礼物包。结合第一段中的“My mother was a gift giver”可知，这里指“礼物包”。故选D项。15A根据空后的“A Special Daughter.Youve.and Love”并结合该句可知，礼物包里面是一幅画，画上写着下文中的几句话。read“写着”，符合语境。16D此处表示，你为我们的生活带来欢笑和欢乐，对我们的爱如此之深。由常识可知，此处表示孩子为父母带来欢声笑语。故选D项。17B根据该句中的“The most precious things we can _17_ for you are the things you have given us”可知，父母希望子女得到的是子女给予他们的，即欢声笑语和爱。故选B项。18C根据上文中的“Youve _16_ laughter and joy to our lives and so much love to our hearts”及空后的“Love”并结合选项可知，孩子可以为父母带来幸福和爱。assistance意为“援助”；privilege意为“特权”；happiness意为“幸福”；satisfaction意为“满意”。故选C项。19D根据本文第一句“My mother was a gift giver”并结合上下文可知，母亲是一个极好的礼物赠送者。故选D项。20A根据该句中的“but the best gifts we will always remember her for were her love for_20_ and her love for us”可知，此处表示我们永远记得她给的最好的礼物是她对生活的热爱和她对我们的爱。从文中作者母亲的行为可以看出作者的母亲对生活的热爱。故A项符合语境。四、 单句改错1He was writing a report while one of his
