Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word
for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage
through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.
Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through
the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
Just because they can
’
t sing opera or ride a bicycle doesn
’
t mean that animals don
’
t have
culture.
There
’
s
no
better
example
of
this
than
killer
whales.
As
one
of
the
most
__26__
predators(
食肉动物
)
，
killer whales may not fit the __27__ of a cultured creature. However, these
beasts of the sea do display a vast range of highly __28__ behaviors that appear to be driving
their genetic development.
The word
“
culture
”
comes from the Latin
“
colere,
”
which __29__ means
“
to cultivate.
”
In other words, it refers to anything that is __30__ or learnt, rather than instinctive or natural.
Among human populations, culture not only affects the way we live, but also writes itself into our
genes, affecting who we are. For instance, having spent many generations hunting the fat marine
mammals of the Arctic, the Eskimos of Greenland have developed certain genetic __31__ that
help
them
digest
and
utilize
this
fat
-
rich
diet,
thereby
allowing
them
to
__32__
in
their
cold
climate.
Like humans, killer whales have colonized a range of different __33__ across the globe, occupying
every ocean basin on the planet, with an empire that __34__ from pole to pole. As such, different
populations of killer whales have had to learn different hunting techniques in order to gain the
upper
hand
over
their
local
prey(
猎物
).
This,
in
turn,
has
a
major
effect
on
their
diet,
leading
scientists to __35__ that the ability to learn population
-
specific hunting methods could be driving
the animals
’
genetic development.
A) acquired
B) adaptations
C) brutal
D) deliberately
E) expressed
F) extends
G) habitats
H) humble
I) image
J) litereally
K) refined
L) revolves
M) speculate
N) structure
O) thrive

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.
Among young adults, living arrangements differ significantly by gender. For men ages 18 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 their parent(s)(29%).
F)
In
2014,
more
young
women
(16%)
than
young
men
(13%)
were
heading
up
a
household
without a spouse or is mainly because women are more likely than men to be sigle
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 as many 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
patner
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
)
since
1970
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 the labor market than their less
-
educated counterparts, which
has in turn made it easier to establish their own households.
oyed young men are more likely to live with their parents than the employed.
2014, the percentage of men aged 18 to 34 living with their parents was greater than
that of their female counterparts.
percentage of young people who are married or live with a partner has greatly decreased
in the past three decades or so.
the mid
-
20th century, only 20 percent of 18
-
to 34
-
year
-
old lived in their parents
’
home.
adults with a college degree found it easier to live independently of their parents.
men are less likely to end up as single parents than young women.
young adult women live with their parents than before due to delayed marriage.
percentage of young men who live with their parents has grown due to their decreased
pay in recent decades.
rise in the number of college students made more young adults live with their parents.
reason for young adults to live with their parents is that get married late or stay single all
